On the broadcast of the 10th, KBS2 ‘Mr. House Husband’ featured “Kickflip” Gyehun as a special guest, and presented the story of the day after Park Seo-jin won the Top Excellence Award, the scene from his nationwide tour concert, and Takuya’s story as he visited his family home in Japan. That broadcast recorded a nationwide Nielsen Korea rating of 3.9%, and the impromptu dance battle between Park Seo-jin and his sister Park Hyo-jeong at the concert venue hit a peak of 6.5%.
Gyehun, seated in the studio, shared his parents’ fandom for Park Seo-jin, saying, “My mother is such a fan that she always asks only for Seojin.“ In the midst of this, Lee Yo-won, upon learning she and Gyehun are two zodiac cycles apart, said, “He is only a year apart from my eldest,” drawing laughter, and Gyehun wittily praised Lee’s youthful looks by saying, “I almost spoke ‘ya’ informally.”
The subsequent VCR revealed the story after Park Seo-jin received the Top Excellence Award at last year’s ‘2025 KBS Entertainment Awards’. Having pledged in the studio, “I will push hard again this year,” Park Seo-jin rejoiced that he had won Top Excellence and that ‘Mr. House Husband’ had won the Viewer’s Choice Best Program, and enjoyed a team dinner. In particular, even offering a toast at the dinner, he confessed, “In the past I was very shy and could not even attend group dinners, but I am learning about life through ‘Mr. House Husband’,” drawing attention.
The next day, suffering from a hangover, Park Seo-jin hugged the trophy and rewatched the award moment, savoring the joy, and expressed thanks to his parents and Hyo-jeong. He said, “For me, ‘Mr. House Husband’ is family. When things are hard, they pat me on the back by my side, and when I am happy, they laugh together, which has given me even stronger support,” adding, “Thanks to family, I received the Top Excellence Award and can sing on such a big stage now.”
To celebrate Park Seo-jin’s Top Excellence Award, Hyo-jeong prepared a ‘luxury healing course’ event. From a classy bathtub setup to hangover stew, a heartfelt chain of events followed, and Park Seo-jin drew eyes by revealing his first-ever on-air bubble-bath scene. On top of that, Hyo-jeong even prepared a hangover remedy said to be handed down from Puerto Rico and rubbed lemon under Park Seo-jin’s armpits, and he shared a candid review, saying, “Better than I expected,” bringing laughs.
Even after sobering up, Park Seo-jin’s professional moments continued. He said, “I am working hard, taking on new stages and expanding the scale,” and devoted himself to rehearsals for his first nationwide tour concert since debut. At the Seoul concert revealed next, ‘Mr. House Husband’ official anchor stars, including Lee Min-woo’s mother and Ji Sang-ryeol’s sister-in-law, turned out in full force to offer solid support. In particular, Lee Min-woo’s seven-year-old eldest daughter visited the concert, causing surprise, and invited him with, “Uncle, please come visit our house,” giving a preview of Park Seo-jin’s upcoming childcare challenge.
Launched amid the support of the ‘Mr. House Husband’ family, Park Seo-jin’s concert turned up the heat with a janggu performance and even a dance battle. Watching this, Lee Yo-won marveled, “He always felt like the cute youngest, but seeing him at his main job, he is truly cool,” and Park Seo-jin renewed his resolve, saying, “After receiving the Top Excellence Award, I feel the weight of the crown. I will work even harder to be worthy of it.”
Next came the story of Takuya, who joined as a ‘new Mr. House Husband’, visiting his hometown of Ibaraki in Japan. Takuya unveiled a home filled with the atmosphere of Japan for the first time on air and showed affectionate moments such as hugging his younger sisters, displaying unreal sibling chemistry. Seeing this, Park Seo-jin told Takuya, “For the first time, I was disappointed,” eliciting laughter with a reaction befitting real-life siblings.
But behind the laughs came a deep confession. Feeling burdened by his family’s “superstar treatment,” Takuya confided that “there is a gap between the image my family imagines and my actual self,” revealing feelings he had kept hidden. He admitted that his activities in Korea are not as glamorous as people might think and said frankly, “I feel in-between.”
Takuya told his younger sister, “I did not want to worry you, so I wanted to remain only as a cool older brother,” and for the first time laid out his difficulties in front of his family. His sister added to the emotion by offering solid support, saying, “As long as you go all the way and become something, that is enough.”
Takuya also recounted family circumstances stemming from his parents’ divorce when he was young, revealing that the father he currently lives with is his stepfather, and that his youngest sibling was born between his stepfather and mother.
Then Takuya recalled his last memory of his biological father, whose face he no longer even remembers. He said, “My last memory is hiding in the car trunk and crying, ‘Please take me too’,” sharing a heartbreaking story that brought a hush over the studio. Takuya said he is willing to meet his biological father, adding, “I am curious what kind of person he is. I want to show him that I have grown like this. I have a desire to show him who I am now.”
After a deep heart-to-heart with his younger sister, Takuya shed tears, tangled with gratitude and sorrow toward his family. He said, “It became a turning point that made me think I should work hard through ‘Mr. House Husband’ so that I can become the Takuya my family imagines,” and added, “I hope this becomes a chance to grow closer to my family and to become more honest.”
