Jin Seon-kyu and Park Bo-kyung to appear together on variety show

Actors Jin Seon-kyu and Park Bo-kyung will make their first joint variety show appearance as a married couple on MBC's 'Where Is My Home' on the 5th. The couple will visit Daehangno and an award-winning house in Ihwa-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, while sharing family photos and stories about their children.

Actors Jin Seon-kyu and Park Bo-kyung will make their first joint variety show appearance as a married couple, revealing family photos and memories from their dating days. The broadcast is expected to feature humorous moments, including Kim Sook's exclamation that there are "three Jin Seon-kyus" due to the children's striking resemblance to their father, and Jin Seon-kyu's playful disappointment over his daughter's affection being directed solely toward her mother.

In the upcoming episode of MBC's 'Where Is My Home' airing on the 5th, the couple will join Yang Se-chan and Joo Woo-jae to search for an award-winning house recognized for its architectural value. This marks the first time the couple—characterized by Jin Seon-kyu's warm image and Park Bo-kyung's calm yet charismatic presence—will appear together on a variety program, offering a glimpse into their daily lives away from their professional roles.

The four participants will visit Daehangno, a location holding memories of the couple's dating period. While walking the familiar streets, Jin Seon-kyu will have an unexpected encounter with the teacher who coached his Japanese for his role as Sato Shinichi, a Japanese Director-General, in the drama '100 Days of Deception.' Jin Seon-kyu expressed his joy at the unexpected reunion.

Jin Seon-kyu revealed that he stayed in Japan for approximately two months to study Japanese intensively to prepare for the role. He is expected to discuss the efforts made to achieve natural Japanese acting for the production, as well as an unexpected individual he referenced while researching the character, showcasing his meticulous preparation process.

Park Bo-kyung recalled a special anecdote from Daehangno that made her realize her husband's fame. She shared that when she visited Daehangno carrying their first child, people reacted by saying, "Oh? It's Jin Seon-kyu!" even though her husband was not by her side, noting that the child's face was so similar to his father's that people recognized him immediately.

The subsequent reveal of family photos brought further laughter. Seeing the children's strong resemblance to Jin Seon-kyu, Kim Sook could not hide her surprise, stating, "There are three Jin Seon-kyus." The children's "spitting image" appearance, with three versions of Jin Seon-kyu within one family, drew significant attention, revealing the father's genes in contrast to his intense acting persona.

During the field inspection, the team will examine a unique commercial-residential building located in Ihwa-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul. This building is a renovated space created by purchasing an entire 40-year-old house. The owner operates a cafe on the first floor and uses the third and fourth floors as residential space, allowing work and life to coexist in one building.

The European-style interior created an atmosphere distinct from typical commercial-residential buildings. While looking around the kitchen, Yang Se-chan expressed admiration for the unique interior, noting, "This feels like a place where pasta topped with arugula suits better than kimchi stew." The transformation of the old building and its use of space captured the cast's interest.

While exploring the house, Jin Seon-kyu shared realistic parenting concerns. Upon discovering a room door that cannot be locked from the inside, he reacted like a typical father, remarking, "This will be great when the kids hit puberty." He also confessed a sense of disappointment regarding his daughter's recent change in affection, noting that she has begun expressing her love only to her mother, Park Bo-kyung.

The MBC program 'Where Is My Home,' featuring the first joint variety appearance of Jin Seon-kyu and Park Bo-kyung, their look-alike children, and a special house in Daehangno, will air on the 5th at 10:00 PM.
