Amid the anticipation of revealing his fiancée on 'Mr. House Husband Season 2', Lee Min-woo is drawing attention for his concerns about merging households with his parents. He seems to be worried about his parents, who have had health issues in the past.
In the broadcast on 2nd of KBS 2TV 'Mr. House Husband Season 2' (hereafter 'House Husband'), Lee Min-woo, a former member of the group Shinhwa, captured the viewers' attention by sharing his wedding news with a bright smile.
In the day's preview, Lee Min-woo laughed as he said of his fiancée, "I thought she was Korean because she speaks Korean so fluently. When I asked, she said, 'I am Korean.'" However, this raised speculation that she might not just be an international student but rather a third-generation Korean resident in Japan.
During the broadcast, Lee Min-woo cautiously shared his plans to merge households with his fiancée with his parents. When he said, "Once I get married, I will bring my girlfriend, who will become my wife, to live here with us," his mother hesitated for a moment before asking a realistic question. "Here? In this small place? Would your girlfriend like living with us? How will she commute back and forth? Do we have the money?" she couldn't hide her worries.
Lee Min-woo has consistently shown deep concern for his parents' health through the broadcast. In fact, he felt a decline in his parents' vitality in a previous episode of 'House Husband' and suggested they get health check-ups; however, his mother firmly rejected it, saying, "Are you always talking about hospitals? It's normal to get sick when you get older." Eventually, Lee Min-woo persuaded both of his parents to go for health check-ups, during which it was revealed that they both had multiple health issues, touching the hearts of viewers.
His mother had several health issues, including lung cancer surgery, knee stem cell transplant, cerebrovascular procedures, and a dementia diagnosis, while his father was also in a critical state with cardial infarction leading to stent procedures and rheumatoid arthritis. His mother confessed she had avoided check-ups for fear of receiving bad news each time, while his father said, "What if something serious comes up now? I can't even speak of such things in front of Min-woo," showing his reluctance to show any pain in front of his children.
It seems that Lee Min-woo's deep filial devotion, stemming from his worries about his parents' health, has ultimately led to his decision to merge households with his fiancée. However, his mother expressed concerns by asking, "Would the future daughter-in-law like living with us?" prioritizing the discomforts from the perspective of a daughter-in-law.
Near the end of the broadcast, during a call with his girlfriend, Lee Min-woo was asked, "Did you talk well with your parents?" raising curiosity about how their wedding preparations will unfold in the future. Viewers are observing Lee Min-woo's efforts to balance his deep filial dedication with the need for an independent space for his newlywed life, responding, "While he is a son filled with filial piety, doesn't he also need an independent space for his new marriage?"
Meanwhile, Lee Min-woo officially announced his wedding news through his social media, saying, "We have confirmed our feelings for each other after a long time and decided to become one family." His fiancée is reportedly a non-celebrity, and their wedding preparation process will be fully revealed next week on 'House Husband.'
