In the episode of KBS2’s “Men Who Do Housework Season 2” (Salimnam) airing on the 15th, Hwan-hee spends a special day with his cousin Lee Jang-woo and his mother.
Upon visiting his mother’s house as usual that day, Hwan-hee is puzzled to find a stranger’s shoes in the entryway. He is then taken aback when he comes face-to-face inside the house with a man affectionately doing the dishes alongside his mother. The mysterious man who visited the house without Hwan-hee’s knowledge is none other than his cousin, actor Lee Jang-woo.
As soon as he sees Hwan-hee, Lee Jang-woo delivers a blunt remark: “I watched ‘Househusband’ and saw there are a lot of problems. Why are you treating your great-aunt like that?” Meanwhile, the topic of Hwan-hee’s marriage comes up, and Lee Jang-woo actively steps in to set him up, offering to introduce him to a friend of his wife who was born in 1994. Lee Jang-woo married actress Jo Hye-won last year after a seven-year romance.

However, Hwan-hee expresses reluctance, pointing out that he and Lee Jang-woo’s wife are the same zodiac sign and saying, “Then I’ll get a ton of flak and have to leave the show.” In response, Lee Jang-woo surprises everyone by revealing, “My parents are 20 years apart,” and convinces Hwan-hee. It remains to be seen whether Lee Jang-woo’s proactive matchmaking will lead to a new romance for Hwan-hee.
Later, Lee Jang-woo embarked on the “Jang-woo Tour” he had prepared for his great-aunt, showing himself to be even more attentive than he is toward his own son, Hwan-hee. This even leads to Hwan-hee’s mother making the bombshell remark, “Let’s swap sons,” which draws laughter. Additionally, Lee Jang-woo adds a touching moment by sharing his family’s reactions to *Househusband* and his sincere feelings toward his cousin Hwan-hee, whom he has looked up to like a big star since childhood.
“Househusband” is a program that captures the real-life household routines of celebrity househusbands. It airs on the 15th at 9:20 p.m.
