Ji Sang-ryeol will join 'Salim Nam Season 2' (hereinafter referred to as 'Salim Nam') as a new housekeeper in the new year.
Once known as the epitome of a 'single man' and 'hot-tempered man' in the entertainment industry, Ji Sang-ryeol will break the stereotypes about himself and reveal a life that is 180 degrees different from his previous image.
First, Ji Sang-ryeol made a shocking statement, saying, "I am not a single person or a widower," and surprised everyone by revealing a home filled with traces of a woman, including two pillows on the bed, toothbrushes placed side by side, and couple photos. Following this, Ji Sang-ryeol's cohabitant will make her first appearance on 'Salim Nam', and he couldn't hide his affection, saying, "We know each other just by looking at each other." She not only wakes him up with a sweet morning call but also prepares his breakfast, raising curiosity about her identity.
On this day, Ji Sang-ryeol's older brother and his family, including the youngest granddaughter, gathered together, revealing the warm and surprising Sang-ryeol house. Due to his 'hot-tempered man' character on the show, Ji Sang-ryeol has often been misunderstood as having a rough personality, but he shows a sweet side to his granddaughter, proving he is a 'granddaughter fool'. In particular, it is rumored that he spared no expense for his only granddaughter, even gifting her 20 pieces of gold for her last birthday. Park Seo-jin, who witnessed this, joked, "Brother, stay close," to which Ji Sang-ryeol replied, "You earn more than I do. Teach me how to play the drum," showcasing his unique wit and making the studio burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, Ji Sang-ryeol's older brother brought up the topic of marriage, saying, "Friends are asking if Sang-ryeol will get married this year. They are even curious about his plans for children." His sister-in-law added, "They say a woman will come into his life this year according to his fortune," and Ji Sang-ryeol also mentioned, "I checked my fortune, and they say a woman will come even if I just sit still," drawing attention. Park Seo-jin commented, "It would be perfect if you get married while doing 'Salim Nam' this year," and MC Baek Ji-young also expressed support, saying, "Since the preconceived notions about Ji Sang-ryeol have been broken, I think it will happen."
With his exceptional wit and entertainment sense, Ji Sang-ryeol, who always garners high attention whenever he appears on broadcasts, raises expectations for what kind of activities he will showcase on 'Salim Nam' in the future.
'Salim Nam' airs every Saturday at 9:20 PM.
