Eun Ji-won, flustered by Oh Yu-jin's confession of being a fan born in '09

Singer Eun Ji-won could not hide his embarrassment at the sudden confession of fan affection from a junior singer born in 2009. In the episode of KBS 2TV's 'Men Who Do Housework Season 2' (hereafter 'Salimnam 2') aired on the 18th, trot singer Oh Yu-jin appeared as a studio guest and revealed her extraordinary affection for Eun Ji-won.

During the broadcast, Oh Yu-jin declared herself a true fan of the program and explained why she started watching. She mentioned that while she initially began watching 'Salimnam 2' because of Park Seo-jin, she is now completely infatuated with someone else. Oh Yu-jin pointed to Eun Ji-won, saying, "I like Eun Ji-won sunbaenim so much. I was so excited before coming on the show today that I couldn't even sleep," heating up the atmosphere on set.

"He's clearly an 'Oppa' type" Oh Yu-jin's bold expression of interest

Eun Ji-won showed clear signs of being flustered by the unexpected confession. He first checked Oh Yu-jin's age. Oh Yu-jin replied that she was born in 2009 and is currently a high school sophomore. Eun Ji-won looked surprised to learn she was a high school student and was speechless for a moment. He then cautiously asked for the birth year of Oh Yu-jin's mother.

When Oh Yu-jin replied that her mother was born in 1984, Eun Ji-won expressed surprise, reacting, "She is younger than our Lee Yo-won." During this process, Park Seo-jin expressed his disappointment, asking Oh Yu-jin why she calls Eun Ji-won 'Oppa' but calls him 'Sunbaenim.' To this, Oh Yu-jin replied, "Isn't Eun Ji-won just clearly an 'Oppa' type?" making the studio erupt in laughter. Looking at Oh Yu-jin's dyed eyebrows, Park Seo-jin joked, "Are you a Mona Lisa? You have no eyebrows," to which Oh Yu-jin wittily retorted, "This is why I call you 'Uncle'."

Fan affection transcending the generation gap and studio banter

The broadcast went beyond a simple confession of fan affection, showing the pleasant generation gap and chemistry between the cast members. The situation where 48-year-old Eun Ji-won was chosen as the ideal type by a 16-year-old high school singer provided both a strange tension and fun throughout the show. In particular, Oh Yu-jin's direct expression of affection toward Eun Ji-won, coupled with his flustered reaction, brought laughter to viewers.

The episode involving the difference in titles between 'Uncle' and 'Oppa' between Park Seo-jin and Eun Ji-won was a moment that showcased Oh Yu-jin's honest personality. After confirming that the mother of 09-liner Oh Yu-jin is younger than Lee Yo-won, who also appeared, Eun Ji-won could not hide his surprise, showing how he felt the generational shift. The cast members continued the friendly atmosphere by constantly exchanging jokes about each other's appearance and titles.
