'Mr. Housekeeping 2' Jisangryeol revealed the entire courtship with Shin Bo-ram just two weeks after going public with their relationship.
On the 17th episode of KBS2TV variety show 'Mr. Housekeeping 2', Park Seo-jin, who went to see Lee Min Woo's second daughter Yang-yang (real name Uju), and Jisangryeol, who acknowledged his relationship with Shin Bo-ram, appeared.
Park Seo-jin was at a loss after seeing the newborn Yang-yang. After finally holding her, Park Seo-jin came out to the living room and smiled at Ria (Mi-jjang), the eldest daughter of Lee Min Woo and Lee A-mi, who is a fan of his. Ria, apparently shy, stared at Park Seo-jin for a moment and then averted her eyes.
Eun Ji-won marveled, "It was worth spending 100 million won on plastic surgery." Park Seo-jin proudly replied, "Of course," adding, "So when the new year comes I look up at the sky and thank the eight fathers."
Lee A-mi asked Ria, "Are you still shy?" Ria said, "I'm shy because there's someone cool," speaking loud enough for Park Seo-jin to hear and causing laughter. Watching this, Lee Min Woo said, "Ria likes to play physically, but after the second child was born I haven't been able to do that as much, so I'm very sorry," showing his regret toward Ria. Park Seo-jin volunteered to play with Ria. Younger sibling Park Hyo-jung also spent a pleasant time with Ria. Also, Ria worked up the courage to go to the dentist and have a tooth pulled.
At the 2025 KBS Entertainment Awards held at the end of December last year, Jisangryeol expressed gratitude to his family in his best actor acceptance speech and took care to remember his parents in heaven. He also mentioned Shin Bo-ram, the shopping host who is 16 years his junior and has become his partner. It was his first moment publicly acknowledging the relationship.
Jisangryeol began the new year showing a changed side by exercising with the dumbbells Shin Bo-ram had given him. His sister-in-law felt proud seeing that. Also appearing was Choi Yangrak, who is close to Jisangryeol. Jisangryeol asked Choi Yangrak for advice, "If things go well and we find a new home, should we live in Incheon or in Seoul where Park Bo-ram lives?" Choi Yangrak replied as if it required no thought, "You're almost 60. You old man, you should adapt to everything. You should live in Seoul."
Choi Yangrak said earnestly looking at Shin Bo-ram, "I sincerely congratulate the two of you and hope it goes well." Then he asked, "Since when have you been dating?" Jisangryeol reiterated his acknowledgment of the relationship, saying, "I accepted the award and some things were settled, so I acknowledged it in my acceptance speech."
Choi Yangrak asked, "Where do you usually go on dates?" Shin Bo-ram answered, "Mostly in the car. Our broadcasts both end late." Choi Yangrak asked again, "Didn't Jisangryeol give you any gifts?" Shin Bo-ram boasted of his quiet tenderness, "He did. Before we dated he bought me an H brand necklace. Something that expensive. He even bought a gift for my mother."
Shin Bo-ram said, "My mother gets restless a dozen times a day. People ask if a 16-year age gap is okay," but she added, "I took my mother to eat with Jisangryeol. We ate samgyetang. After actually meeting him, my mother said she was fine with it. She said he was taller and more handsome than she expected," relaying her mother's experience meeting Jisangryeol.
Jisangryeol also conveyed comments from those hoping he would marry, saying, "Shin Dong-yeob said if I get married he'll do everything except provide the house," subtly hinting at a rosy future with Shin Bo-ram.
