In Jeong Seung-jae's Boarding House, Jeong Seung-jae not only cheerfully answers the boarders' questions about "marriage" but also, while listening to their life worries, offers heartfelt advice that delivers a "touching" moment.
The entertainment show on tcast E Channel airing at 8 p.m. on the 3rd, Life knockout: Jeong Seung-jae's Boarding House (hereafter Jeong Seung-jae's Boarding House), shows Jeong Seung-jae, Jeong Hyung Don, and Han Sun-hwa greeting the fifth first-generation boarder who arrived on the first night the boarding house opened and having an honest conversation.
After four "college entrance exam prep students" finished moving in, the three-member "boarding house staff" and the first-generation boarders have dinner together for the first time. Afterwards, while tidying up, Jeong Seung-jae takes on the dishes alone in the kitchen and hums the song "If you can't sing, you can't get married, ah hateful person~." Hearing this, one boarder playfully asks, "Teacher Seung-jae, you sing well, so why didn't you get married?" Born in '76 and an unmarried man, Jeong Seung-jae says, "Ah, marriage?" and then, "Actually I…" offers a "shocking answer" (?) that blows up the scene.
Curiosity builds over what reason Jeong Seung-jae diagnosed himself as the cause for not getting married, and late that night the fifth boarder shyly rings the doorbell and moves in. This male boarder has a special past connection with Jeong Seung-jae, and in front of everyone he frankly confesses the story that led him to the boarding house. He begins, "This really is the last time," then says, "This is it, the time allowed to me…" and bursts into tears. Everyone who hears his life worries becomes solemn, and Jeong Seung-jae says, "You must have really regretted it," then offers heartfelt advice: "You may have an ideal you imagine, but letting that go a bit…" Han Sun-hwa also comforts him, saying, "Thank you for talking about those worries even to the point of tears," moving everyone.
Who the fifth boarder who arrived on the first night is and what connection he has with Jeong Seung-jae will be revealed in episode 2 of Jeong Seung-jae's Boarding House, airing at 8 p.m. on the 3rd.
