SBS "My Little Old Boy" Yun Min-soo's appearance alongside his ex-wife, whom he divorced, was revealed and drew attention.
According to ratings research company Nielsen Korea, the Seoul metropolitan area household rating for SBS "My Little Old Boy" broadcast on the 12th was 10.5%, ranking first among all weekend variety shows and all weekly variety shows. In particular, the 2049 rating rose sharply to 3.3% compared with the previous week, making it not only first among weekly variety shows but also first overall among all-genre programs broadcast on Sunday, including variety shows, drama, cultural programs and news. The peak minute rating rose as high as 12.5%.
On that day's broadcast, Yun Min-soo, who said he continued to live in the same house with his ex-wife even after their divorce, appeared with his ex-wife and drew attention. Yun Min-soo, who had said he maintained living in the same house to spend time with his son Yun-hoo, who had been attending school in the United States and came to Korea for vacation despite the divorce, said he was looking for a new house and was two weeks away from moving.
Sitting across from his ex-wife that day, Yun Min-soo discussed how to divide the shared furniture they had used. He also showed complicated emotions about what to do with the wedding album and family photos, which resonated with many people. Seo Jang-hoon said, "It may look strange, but it's a necessary process in reality," expressing empathy. In particular, seeing the ex-wife carefully packing the household items Yun Min-soo would take, he reacted, "It's nice to see them being considerate of each other."
The two then had an honest conversation over a meal as they faced the upcoming separation. They also discussed each other's future and their son Yun-hoo. Shin Dong-yup said, "There are quite a few couples who get divorced but still get along well. It's likely much better for the children than seeing them tear each other down," and he respected the couple's behavior. Yun Min-soo and his ex-wife also said, "Although we are divorced, we've been together for 20 years, so we are family," and asked each other to contact one another if they have difficulties, offering sincere support to each other.
The image of the divorced couple living in the same house surprised some, but the two, who genuinely supported each other and showed a healthy separation, remained a good example of divorced spouses, drawing continued supportive reactions. Attention is focused on Yun Min-soo's future as he begins his full-scale independent life.
