Broadcaster Yoon Jung-soo reveals his strong desire for marriage on 'Living Report'.
In the upcoming episode of the MBN·MBC Drama Net variety show 'Living Report' airing on the 2nd, Yoon Jung-soo expresses his dream of living abroad and requests a 'customized guide'.
On this day, Yoon Jung-soo confesses, "Since I was young, it has been my dream to live abroad, but I've been scammed every time, so I have no money at all," and presents his hope for a place that is "close to Korea, has an open view, and affordable living costs." In response to Yoon Jung-soo's remarks, Lee Ji-hye and Jay Seon recommend Laos and Kyrgyzstan, known as 'paradises of low prices', and engage in a fierce competition to win his choice.
Previously, in the first episode, Lee Ji-hye unfortunately failed to appeal to Kim Eung-soo's taste, but she now promotes Laos, referred to as 'the France of Asia', for a comeback. Lee Ji-hye calls upon the Jang family—Jang Man-jun, Nari, and Jang Se-hyun—who have been living their second life in Laos after retiring as a firefighter in Korea for 30 years, to serve as 'living guides'. This family introduces Yoon Jung-soo to a full day of enjoying Laos, from food to sightseeing, for '10,000 won per person'.
The family first heads to the traditional market 'Tongkan Kam' to shop. This market captivates everyone with its low prices: 1,000 won for a head of cabbage, 900 won for 1 kg of potatoes, and 700 won for a bunch of bananas. Especially, tropical fruits like mangoes, dragon fruit, and papayas are priced at one-sixth of what they cost in Korea, adding to the surprise. Lee Ji-hye appeals, "In Korea, a fruit basket costs about 100,000 won, but in Laos, you can buy a truckload of fruit for that money," shaking Yoon Jung-soo's heart.
After buying a lot of fruit at the market, the family goes to 'Wat Si Muang', the most sacred temple in Laos, to pray for the family's health and happiness. At this moment, Lee Ji-hye asks Yoon Jung-soo, "What wish would you like to make?" He expresses his desire for marriage, saying, "I haven't given up on marriage yet." However, Lee Ji-hye corrects him, saying, "I'm sorry, but I heard this temple only grants wishes related to love," which makes Yoon Jung-soo emotional. He then questions, "Does God discriminate between wishes?" causing a stir in the studio.
In a fantastic chemistry, 'living guide' Jang Man-jun explains that "Laos is a matriarchal society where women have a strong influence," and describes how living with in-laws is common in the local culture. The MCs then ask Yoon Jung-soo, "Is international marriage okay?" and "Is living with in-laws possible?" Yoon Jung-soo responds with a relaxed smile, "I'm open to everything," and even agrees with the statement that "Laotian men have a laid-back temperament," calling it a "world-class mindset country," which fills the studio with laughter.
To find out which place Yoon Jung-soo ultimately chooses between Laos and Kyrgyzstan, tune in to 'Living Report' airing on the 2nd at 10:20 PM.
