The Sept. 6, 2025 KST broadcast of KBS2’s ‘Mr. House Husband Season 2’ (hereafter ‘Mr. House Husband’) delivered both humor and heartfelt moments as it showcased Lee Min Woo and his family preparing to welcome new members into their home.
The broadcast featured the first reveal of Lee Min Woo’s fiancée, a third-generation Korean-Japanese woman, and her six-year-old daughter as they prepared to move to Korea. Previously, Lee Min Woo had surprised his family by declaring that he would live with his parents and sister in their Seoul home after marriage. On this episode, he startled them again by announcing that his fiancée and daughter would be arriving in Korea the very next day.
He explained his late disclosure: “If I had told my parents earlier, they would have tried to prepare everything. I didn’t want to burden them, so I only spoke up at the last minute.” The moment highlighted his concern for his parents, while also showing their worry for his financial situation, creating an emotional exchange of family care.
As the news of his marriage preparations spread, some viewers reacted critically online, using phrases like “poverty cosplay” and questioning how a member of a once-famous idol group could be living in such modest circumstances. Comments included: “Even if the group’s popularity has faded, isn’t it strange for a former idol to live like this?” and “It feels uncomfortable to hear him talking about not having money so openly on TV.”
In response, Lee Min Woo clarified during the show: “I’m not pretending, and I’m not doing this for attention. It’s just that right now, I can’t afford a newlywed home, so I’m saving as much as possible. Of course, there are inconveniences.”
Meanwhile, his parents prepared wholeheartedly to welcome the new family members. His mother, mindful of her pregnant daughter-in-law, cooked a variety of dishes and shared: “I feel for her. I want to make her delicious food and buy her whatever she wants.” His father prepared a teddy bear as a gift for his granddaughter.
After wrapping up their life in Japan, Lee Min Woo’s fiancée and her daughter finally arrived in Korea. Standing in front of his home, he admitted: “It’s my house, but why am I this nervous?” His parents greeted the newcomers with warm hugs, filling the moment with emotion.
The episode ended on a touching note, leaving viewers curious about how the family will adapt to life under one roof, balancing both challenges and joy.
