Singer Park Seo-jin's sibling rivalry brought about cheerful laughter.
On the broadcast of KBS 2TV 'Mr. House Husband Season 2' on the 6th, a fierce courtroom battle between Park Seo-jin and his sister Hyo-jung unfolded over the results of her high school equivalency exam. The broadcast recorded a nationwide audience rating of 4.8%, and the scene where the Park siblings wager their family registry on whether Hyo-jung passed her third high school equivalency exam showed a peak rating of 6.1%. Notably, the 2049 rating, a key indicator of channel competitiveness, also recorded a high number, revealing its ongoing popularity.
After the younger sister Hyo-jung took her third high school equivalency exam and hid her test paper, Park Seo-jin sensed immediately that she had failed. He remarked, "If you had gone to school, you would have already received your diploma," and Hyo-jung confessed, "I tried hard but I'm worried about how the results will turn out," adding to the tension in the room.
Continuing, Park Seo-jin made an extreme statement, saying, "If you fail again, that's four times. I should remove you from the family registry," and he took Hyo-jung to court. At that moment, the person who appeared before the siblings was none other than veteran lawyer Park Min-cheol, who has 21 years of experience at a major domestic law firm. Park Seo-jin explained that he brought the lawyer because "since the high school equivalency exam happens every year, it seems like there's no sense of crisis if you fail, and I wanted to make sure you feel the weight of this promise this time."
The siblings' family registry battle continued even in front of Lawyer Park. Hyo-jung turned the situation upside down with her outrageous comment, "If I pass, I will remove my brother from the family registry and dig up to his rear end with a spoon." After Park Seo-jin had been making threats about the family registry towards Hyo-jung, he soon fell into despair. Lawyer Park declared, "It's impossible to remove you from the family registry." In response, Hyo-jung boldly replied, "Then I can only dig up your rear end," causing everyone to burst into laughter.
However, the atmosphere quickly shifted again. Park Seo-jin claimed that his younger sister had been violent towards him, presenting clips of their cute sibling fights from 'Mr. House Husband' as evidence, which surprised everyone when Lawyer Park mentioned the possibility of a fine for Hyo-jung. Hyo-jung then exclaimed, "Put me in jail. I have nothing," dramatically surprising Park Seo-jin and causing laughter.
Along with this, Hyo-jung claimed, "You humiliated me in front of the entire nation," bringing up her past unrequited love for her English tutor to assert Park Seo-jin's guilt. He countered, "You're the one who drank kimchi soup alone and got dumped," but Hyo-jung retorted, "Because of my heartbreak, your popularity increased." Park Seo-jin shot back, "When you got dumped, the ratings for 'Mr. House Husband' dropped!" continuing their legendary back-and-forth exchange.
Watching this unfold, Lawyer Park Min-cheol quipped, "Siblings who fight like this tend to be closer" and cheerfully wrapped up the situation, quickly proceeding to Hyo-jung's high school equivalency exam retake grading.
As the final subject grading approached, the studio froze instantly. In a dramatic turnaround, Hyo-jung scored a whopping 72 points in English, which was only 28 points in her previous exam, resulting in shock and cheers from everyone. Eun Ji-won and Baek Ji-young expressed heartfelt congratulations, saying, "This gives me chills."
But the happiest person was Park Seo-jin. Momentarily setting aside his cold demeanor towards his sister out of concern, he expressed, "I felt emotions that I can't put into words. I felt proud and could see the effort. Now, she's no longer a middle school graduate but a high school graduate. I'm relieved. I wanted to give her a round of applause," expressing his joy and moving everyone.
This episode depicted the heartwarming story of the Min-woo family, who are starting a new chapter with their parents, capturing laughter, tears, and realistic worries, leaving a warm afterglow in viewers' homes. Furthermore, it illustrated the sincere support and unique bond of affection contained within Park Seo-jin and Hyo-jung's unrestrained banter and bickering, providing viewers with another layer of emotional impact.
