'Parenting Intern' drew attention as those who became a princess and Cinderella respectively for childcare.

On the 30th, the tvN STORY 'Parenting Intern' broadcast showed Lee Kyung-kyu, who went down to Boryung in South Chungcheong to take care of the sisters, and Ahn Jung-hwan, who left for Namyangju to care for brothers, showing contrasting reactions.

Lee Kyung-kyu's childcare seemed somewhat easy. First, the eldest of the sisters, Sol-i, was a fervent fan of Lee Kyung-kyu. The 44-month-old girl liked fishing, knew Lee Kyung-kyu well, often called him 'fishing grandpa' and readily followed him. Bom-i looked for her mother but, after seeing Lee Kyung-kyu's masterful comedy she smiled broadly and, while searching for her mother, called out "Happuji!" and sought Lee Kyung-kyu.

The children were well-behaved and polite, so they helped Lee Kyung-kyu pack snacks and, even at lunch, continuously fed him without pause.

However, it was not all smooth. The sisters, whose age gap was not large, often fought, and Lee Kyung-kyu, who witnessed their fights three times in the morning alone, was completely exhausted. Still, for the children he applied child-friendly makeup nail polish himself and even offered his own fingernails. The flashy nails enveloped Lee Kyung-kyu and would not come off. Having become a princess that way, Lee Kyung-kyu, drawing on his former experience as a ramen developer, showcased his skill and created a splendid jajang ramen.

Ahn Jung-hwan questioned the unusual childcare request this time: "Please help calm them down." The mother said, "The children's tension is on the high side, they are very playful, and they have a lot of stamina. But it becomes excessive," noting that the eldest, Seong-yeon, was especially like that. The father said, "Like the cartoon character Crayon Shin-chan, they don't listen to their mother," and the mother said, "She was so disobedient that we had her take a self-control test. Her self-control is in the bottom 9 percent. So we need to cultivate this."

Also, Seong-yeon sometimes acted unresponsive. Ahn Jung-hwan, jokingly saying, "Grandfather's name is Dduddubbongbbong," used playful remarks to meet the child's perspective and opened the door to the child's heart.

However, Seong-yeon did not take care to avoid waking her younger brother Ho-yeon, and although Ahn Jung-hwan tried to control his temper, when Seong-yeon pushed Ho-yeon he would not back down on this. Ahn Jung-hwan sternly said, "You can't bother your sibling just because you're the older brother," and added, "Come here. Put the toy down. You can't push your sibling, right?"

Ahn Jung-hwan hugged the child, saying, "If you're doing it because you like your sibling, you should hold them gently." Seong-yeon actually told Ahn Jung-hwan, "I'm happy when I'm alone at home," and said, "I'm happy when I'm with mom and dad, and I'm happy when I'm alone." In other words, she was carrying the feelings of an eldest child complicated by the arrival of a second child. Still, she loved her sibling very much, but she was not yet at an age to fully accept it.

While Ahn Jung-hwan calmly tried to soothe Seong-yeon, Hyoyeong from Oh My Girl, equipped with princess items, appeared. Upon seeing Hyoyeong, Seong-yeon forgot her distractibility and energetic behavior and obediently followed Hyoyeong's words. Ahn Jung-hwan said in chagrin, "They say raising kids is useless," and Hyoyeong asked, "Seong-yeon, did you hold your sibling nicely?" Seong-yeon gently held Ho-yeon. Ahn Jung-hwan screamed, "Wow! When did you hold like that! I feel so betrayed I'm going crazy," and in next week's preview he became a nonstop Cinderella doing household chores.
