In "Dongchimi," Jo Young-nam, who turned 80 this year, dreamed of a third marriage.
On the 3rd, during the MBN show "Dongchimi" (hereinafter referred to as "Dongchimi"), a heated discussion continued on the theme "Can one live alone in old age?" showcasing Jo Young-nam's aspirations for a third marriage.
That day, Jo Young-nam expressed his hope for a third marriage. In response, Choi Hong-rim asked, "Aren't you too old to get married at 80?" and the marriage agency representative, Seong Ji-in, said, "I heard you are dreaming of a third marriage. I got information that you have too many female friends. Wouldn't organizing those friendships be key in getting married? I think we need to see a birthday party first."
At that moment, Kim Young-ok, who had been quietly listening, interjected at Jo Young-nam, asking, "Are you really thinking of doing that at eighty?" which elicited laughter.
Jo Young-nam's thoughts on a third marriage continued. While inviting guests to his 80th birthday party, he envied Eom Young-soo, who had been married three times. Jo Young-nam stated, "I envy Eom Young-soo. I want to do it again. If there's someone I love, I would get married again," adding, "I didn't find married life boring." This prompted Lee Seong-mi to reply, "You aren't bored here; they must be bored with you," and Yoo In-gyeong chuckled, "Not getting married for a third time would be good for human peace."
Nevertheless, Jo Young-nam said, "I think I will get married for the third time, based on my feelings." Surprised, Lee Seong-mi asked, "Who do you have in mind?" To this, Jo Young-nam replied, "I don't have a partner yet," but lamented about wanting to marry for the third time, saying, "They have all disappeared now."
Meanwhile, with Jo Young-nam's 80th birthday celebration broadcast, Eom Young-soo's congratulatory message was featured. He opened with, "Jo Young-nam Sunbae has always been my mentor. Whenever I had important life issues, I would visit him for advice. When he got married, I got married; when he divorced, I followed and divorced. And that's how I ended up in this situation."
He continued, "Living under the mentorship of Jo Young-nam, I ended up being the one to get married for the third time first. When I took the initiative to get married first, Jo Young-nam went, 'Why are you breaking the rules?' I'm currently in a model, constructive, and wonderful third marriage. I hope you will follow my example, meet a good person, and live happily."
On the other hand, Jeong Seon-hee revealed, "I have been avoiding Jo Young-nam for a long time. He keeps seeing me as a woman, secretly considering me his 24th girlfriend," adding, "He even promised to gift me real estate." This revelation brought laughter.
Notably, on that day, Jo Young-nam surprised everyone by preparing a 60 million won painting as the top prize for guests. As a result, the winner was former Member of Parliament Lee Sang-min. Lee Sang-min expressed, "I was in a lot of distress after losing in the elections last year, but it feels like I've been revived. Thank you."
