Comedian Kim Hak-rae and Im Mi-sook's son Kim Dong-young even cut his hair after breaking up with the arranged-meeting woman.
On the 22nd, TV CHOSUN's Chosun's Lovebirds featured the story of Kim Hak-rae and Im Mi-sook's son Kim Dong-young and the couple Yoon Jung-soo and Won Jin-seo.
First, Kim Hak-rae and Im Mi-sook's son Kim Dong-young visited the studio in person to talk about his relationship with Ye-eun, the securities-industry arranged-meeting woman. Earlier, Kim Dong-young met Ye-eun through an arranged meeting in May and continued seeing her until July, creating a fluttering atmosphere. In particular, they appeared close after hosting his parents' wedding anniversary party together, but later the relationship grew awkward when Ye-eun expressed dissatisfaction with Kim Dong-young's lack of expression.
In August, Kim Dong-young called the production team and requested a meeting. At that meeting, Kim Dong-young said, "We met after the July party and talked about the relationship, but we had differences in thinking. We met one last time and ended the relationship. We are not contacting each other, and it's completely over." In particular, Kim Dong-young said, "My parents still don't know we broke up. My parents really liked her, and I don't know how to tell them," expressing mixed feelings.
Afterward, Kim Dong-young visited his parents' home and told them, "It's over with Ye-eun. We closed things well. There were differences in opinion and many mismatches in personality. Our tempos were off, so in the end I felt we didn't fit well. So we properly sorted out the relationship. Also, Ye-eun felt burdened by meeting publicly. She's an ordinary office worker, so being exposed on a show would be hard. We talked about even the small things and agreed to support each other," he explained. Kim Hak-rae and Im Mi-sook regretted the length of the relationship and the attitudes, but Kim Dong-young said, "I even introduced her to my friends," noting he did not end it easily.
According to Kim Dong-young, they chose to break up by mutual agreement without anyone saying who should end it first. Im Mi-sook said, "I'm shocked. I thought everything was going well," and could not hide her regret, and Kim Hak-rae said ruefully, "Your relationship with Ye-eun was a source of vitality for us." Kim Dong-young then blamed himself, saying, "I think there's something wrong with my personality," which made his parents feel even more pained.
Im Mi-sook suggested not to be too down and proposed that Kim Dong-young get his hair trimmed and renew his spirit. On the way there, with mixed feelings, Kim Hak-rae and Im Mi-sook brought up Ye-eun, and when asked about the atmosphere on the day they decided to break up, Kim Dong-young said, "We parted respectfully. Our minds are settled. I just hope mom and dad don't get hurt any more." Arriving at the salon, Kim Dong-young said he hadn't considered very short hair and was anxious, but he cut about 10cm and transformed into an idol-style haircut. Kim Dong-young said, "I didn't think about marriage, but now I'm much more open. Since I'm on this show, I've resolved that I should get married. I want to deliver truly good news, the news of marriage," he vowed.
