Lee Sedol jokes about Kim Sook's age after weight reveal

During the 331st episode of KBS2's "Problem Child in House" on the 20th, Lee Sedol joked that Kim Sook is the same age as him after she revealed she weighs 60kg.

An unexpected chemistry between guests emerged on "Problem Child in House," where Kim Jong-kook offered marriage advice to Lee Sedol, a man married for 21 years, leading to a humorous confrontation.

In the 331st episode of KBS2's "Problem Child in House" airing on the 20th, "world-class Go player" Lee Sedol and actor Heo Sung-tae appear as guests. They will join Song Eun-i, Kim Sook, Kim Jong-kook, Hong Jin-kyung, Yang Se-chan, and Joo Woo-jae to engage in talk and quizzes, showcasing different charms. Much attention is focused on how Lee Sedol, known for his cool-headed competitor image, will behave in a variety show setting.

During the broadcast, Lee Sedol reveals unexpected personal tastes despite his commanding aura, stating that he prefers people to treat him casually rather than making him feel difficult to approach. Upon hearing this, Kim Sook immediately launches a barrage of blunt questions, heating up the atmosphere by asking, "Honestly, you weigh less than me, right?"

Lee Sedol does not back down from the potentially embarrassing question, instead countering by asking Kim Sook how many kilograms she weighs. Kim Sook answers without hesitation, revealing, "I am 60kg." As the studio focuses on her straightforward answer, Lee Sedol draws laughter by responding with the unexpected remark, "Oh, you are the same age as me." The conversation shifts abruptly from weight to age, turning the studio into a sea of laughter.

While Lee Sedol calculates countless possibilities on the Go board, he shows his presence in the variety show through unpredictable wit. Kim Sook also demonstrates her variety skills by leading the atmosphere with direct questions rather than carefully observing the opponent's reaction. The bickering chemistry between the two, who both boast strong verbal skills, is a key highlight of the episode.

Lee Sedol's unexpected charm continues into the discussion about married life. Kim Sook asks Lee Sedol, who has been married for 21 years, whether he can see "a few moves ahead" regarding his wife's intentions, just as he does in Go. While the ability to read an opponent's next move determines victory in Go, whether such insight works in a marriage is a different matter. Lee Sedol shakes his head, admitting the difficulty of real marriage by stating, "I can never know my wife's moves."

At this moment, newlywed Kim Jong-kook confidently interjects. He suggests a solution for married life, claiming, "While I can't read the moves, there are a few correct answers." However, the atmosphere shifts when Yang Se-chan continues to press him with persistent questions using specific marital scenarios. Kim Jong-kook, who was comfortably giving advice, eventually admits he is a "low-level player," stating, "Just thinking about it makes me break into a sweat," adding to the laughter.

The episode humorously reveals that neither the Go genius's ability to read moves nor the newlywed's confidence works easily when faced with the realities of married life. The talk is enriched by the combination of Lee Sedol's honest answers after 21 years of marriage and Kim Jong-kook's reactions as he is still becoming accustomed to various marital situations.

The meeting between Lee Sedol, who sets aside his competitor's charisma to show a friendly side, and the "Oktap Kids" who lead the atmosphere with bold questions, is expected to stimulate viewers' laughter through topics ranging from Kim Sook's weight reveal to the unexpected age comment and the failed attempts to read the "moves" of married life.
