On the 20th, the MBC I Live Alone (directed by Heo Hang, Kang Ji-hee, Kim Jin-kyung, Moon Ki-young, Jung Ji-woon) episode that aired showed Kian84 sitting face to face with his idol, manga artist Junji Ito, and actress Bae Na-ra showing off the aura of a fourth-year
According to ratings agency Nielsen Korea on the 21st, the household rating for I Live Alone that aired the previous day was 4.8% in the Seoul metropolitan area, ranking first among Friday variety shows. Also, the 20-54 rating, a key channel competitiveness indicator reflecting changes in media consumption, was 2.9%, ranking first among Friday variety shows.
The "best minute" was the scene in which Kian84 met Junji Ito after having dinner with Kangnam and shared his impressions. He said he finds studying Japanese fun and, in Japanese, sincerely thanked Kangnam, saying, "Because of you, I feel like I've found a new life." The mutual encouragement between Kian84 and Kangnam moved viewers, and the rating peaked at 5.8%.
Last week, Kian84, who met his idol Junji Ito, conveyed the stories he had prepared wholeheartedly. With awkward Japanese, he greeted him, saying, "Meeting you like this feels like a dream." Junji Ito said he had seen Kian84's drawings and manga and that he, too, had been looking forward to meeting Kian84.
Once Kian84 found his voice, he fired off fan-filled questions at Junji Ito. In response, Junji Ito candidly talked about the hardships and daily life of being a manga artist, surprising everyone. Kian84 was delighted to hear news of Junji Ito's long-awaited new work and admired his continued love and passion for manga.
Kian84 and Junji Ito exchanged gifts for each other. Kian84 presented a portrait of Junji Ito and a kimchi fried rice lunchbox made with his own recipe. Junji Ito praised Kian84's drawing as "amazing," and the kimchi fried rice lunchbox was emptied without leaving a single grain, drawing attention. Junji Ito then presented a handwritten autograph and a drawing drawn on the spot, and it was revealed that he had prepared a separate drawing gift for Kian84 in advance, adding to the emotion.
Kian84 couldn't take his eyes off Junji Ito as he drew a picture for him. Making an unforgettable memory with Junji Ito, Kian84 finally choked up and showed tears. He thanked Kangnam, who helped him realize his dream, saying, "I feel like I'm indebted to you. I'll grant a wish you want." While preparing for this meeting, Kian84, who found studying Japanese enjoyable, once again looked forward to meeting Junji Ito and showed that he was reconsidering the profession of being a manga artist. Attention is focused on what changes might come to him.
Meanwhile, footage was also released of actress Bae Na-ra leaving for a camping trip to rest after a performance. The secret hideout of fourth-year camper Bae Na-ra was as tidy as his home. He said, "The charm of solo camping is setting up another home with my own gear," and introduced a tent perfectly equipped from the bedroom and storage space to a circulator and a carbon monoxide detector. He also showed his meticulous, planned "J" side with a trash can for recyclable sorting and various condiment containers.
Bae Na-ra expressed pride in his camping cooking and, instead of meat and instant noodles, quickly completed a "beef brisket and sea snail doenjang stew" with ingredients he had prepared himself. Even while cooking, he showed his morning routine from home as is, drawing admiration.
Running was not left out. He set out on foot to find the spring baby octopus in season. But contrary to Bae Na-ra's hopeful expectations, he was distraught to hear that the baby octopus had not yet appeared. Watching the mud-filled sea longingly because he couldn't find the baby octopus, Bae Na-ra prompted Jun Hyun-moo to laugh by saying, "This is proper mud-splashing (?)." He did not give up and crossed mountains and waters to find the baby octopus, but ultimately failed to meet one and appeased his disappointment with clams.
Afterwards, Bae Na-ra enjoyed a camping feast with friends of 10 years who visited the hideout, with clams, squid, meat and more. He warmed hearts as he happily showcased his camping cooking skills for his friends. Bae Na-ra expressed his affection for camping, saying, "By preparing and then organizing camping my way, I gain independence and my self-esteem rises. Camping is another world of my own."
Next week is expected to draw interest with a preview of actor Bae In Hyuk's unexpected life in his 13th year of living alone and Jun Hyun-moo properly falling for practicing 'park cheon-hyu writer's interior philosophy' (?)
