In the TV CHOSUN hyper-realistic documentary entertainment program "Love Fool of Joseon," Julien Kang, who has formed an awkward atmosphere with his mother-in-law, Park Ji-eun♡, prepares a "Mother-in-Law Day."
In a preview video for the program, which will air on the 28th (Monday) at 10 p.m., Julien Kang jokingly introduced the production team, saying, "Mother-in-law's friends are here. I came to see you, Mom." Wanting to resolve the awkwardness between them, he bravely suggested to his mother-in-law in front of the "Love Fool" camera, "Mom, shall we eat together?" However, his mother-in-law replied, "I have an appointment with my friends today..." expressing regret.
After that, Julien Kang, lingering with questions about "How many friends?", suggested, "Okay, sounds good. Then let's all go to the buffet". Surprised by the unexpected invitation, his mother-in-law responded, "When are we going?" showing marked excitement.
While heading to the buffet with his mother-in-law, Julien Kang created an even better atmosphere by asking her in the car, "What kind of songs do you like?" and curating a playlist just for her. Then, as a "Trot beginner(?)," Julien Kang listened to a song by Lim Young-woong and amusingly remarked, "This person is young, right?" As his mother-in-law naturally sang along to Lim Young-woong's song, he continued the conversation pleasantly, saying, "Mother-in-law, you're singing too." It remains to be seen whether Julien Kang can successfully wrap up the "Mother-in-Law Day" he meticulously prepared in the main broadcast.
On the 26th, JJ posted a lengthy message on his Instagram, stating, "Recently, because of the broadcast, many comments have been made on communities and YouTube, and there are many people worried on Instagram." He continued, "I thought I was smart, but I was disappointed; there were many comments like, 'How can you live like that?" as he began to clarify the portrayal of himself shown in the broadcast.
In a previous broadcast, the life of JJ and his mother living together was highlighted, alongside the conflict between his husband Julien Kang and his mother-in-law, which caused controversy among viewers. Regarding this, JJ explained, "I lived with my mother even before getting married, and I am currently the head of the household. It cannot simply be viewed as a matter of separation." He added, "Since my mother raised me alone and is not prepared for retirement, I am fully responsible for housing and living expenses."
On the reactions that his mother was portrayed negatively through the broadcast, he stated, "The broadcast is just a broadcast, and there were some intentional directorial choices involved." He also mentioned, "It is true that there have been trial and error between us, but now Julien understands the situation, and we are learning how to maintain distance without conflict."
Additionally, he expressed his feelings, stating, "What hurts more than the broadcast direction is the negative perception toward supporting parents." He noted, "It's a blessing to have a husband who loves me even in this situation, and I am also trying to be a wife who supports Julien's difficult sides."
Finally, JJ explained the reason for deleting the post, saying, "I felt that verbose TMI would be embarrassing for my family to see, and those who want to see it probably have. The conclusion is that I will live well."
