On the March 8 episode of MBC's entertainment show Point of Omniscient Interference (전지적 참견 시점), hosts Jeon Hyun-moo and Lee Young-ja shared their thoughts on marriage. The episode featured YouTuber Shim Eui-ddeum and comedian Shin Gi-ru. Shim Eui-ddeum, showcasing her athletic physique, humorously claimed she could lift Shin Gi-ru but noted that she couldn't do the same for Lee Young-ja due to her brother-in-law, Hwang Dong-joo, being present, which elicited laughter from the audience.

Shim Eui-ddeum's husband and manager, Kim Hyung-cheol, expressed his happiness in being her partner, stating, "Living as Shim Eui-ddeum's husband is fulfilling. We work out together every day, and I've become healthier because of her." He humorously added that they do laundry three to four times a day, with Shim Eui-ddeum accounting for 90% of the laundry, and boasted about her extensive knowledge of leggings from various brands.

Shim Eui-ddeum's day was packed; she started with intense stretching before going for a 10km run with Sean and Ko Han-min. Comedian Yang Se-hyung praised her performance, noting that while he aimed to complete the run in 50 minutes but fell short by 30 seconds, Shim Eui-ddeum finished in an impressive 49 minutes during her first competition.

Later, Shim Eui-ddeum returned to her company, which manages five different brands related to diet foods, products, applications, and YouTube content. Her manager mentioned that they have 30 employees, each representing different aspects of the business. Shim Eui-ddeum shared her journey, stating, "Since entering college in 2009, I've read every book on dieting and tried all the products to provide valuable insights as a creator."

Shin Gi-ru consulted a fortune teller about her prospects for the year, who indicated that she would experience significant changes in her living and working environments, suggesting that she would thrive in a water-energy location.

Upon hearing this, Jeon Hyun-moo remarked, "I believe in fortune-telling. It even predicted my win at last year's entertainment awards." When Hong Hyun-hee asked if that meant he had no luck in marriage, Jeon Hyun-moo replied, "That's why I believe in it; no one has ever told me I would marry soon." He then turned to Lee Young-ja, asking if she had any marriage luck. Lee Young-ja playfully responded, "It's all up to my mindset. When someone I like appears, my feelings change."

Park Han-byul is set to return to the entertainment scene after a six-year hiatus, joining the cast of TV Chosun's variety show 'Dad and Me' (아빠하고 나하고) Season 2. This marks her first appearance on television since her husband, Yoo In-seok, was embroiled in the Burning Sun scandal. The production team announced that Park has already completed filming and will share her daily life with her father, although the broadcast date is still under discussion.

The new season of 'Dad and Me,' premiering on March 11, focuses on the complex relationship between fathers and their children, allowing them to express their feelings and work towards understanding and forgiveness. Park Han-byul, the only daughter of former soccer player Park Chae-hwa, will be featured alongside her father, which has generated significant interest as they have rarely appeared together on a variety show.

Park's return to the entertainment industry comes after a challenging period. She married Yoo In-seok, the former CEO of Yuri Holdings, in 2017 and welcomed a son. However, in 2019, Yoo was implicated in the Burning Sun scandal, leading to a suspended prison sentence of one year in 2020. At that time, Park expressed her concerns about separating her husband's past from her own life, stating, "I felt it was impossible to completely separate the past of someone I would spend my life with from myself, but I was in a very cautious position as the investigation was ongoing. I apologize."

Following the scandal, Park halted her entertainment activities, with her last project being the MBC drama 'When It Hurts, Love' (슬플 때 사랑한다) in 2019. The drama aired during the height of her husband's controversy, resulting in calls for her to step down, but she completed the series. Afterward, she moved to Jeju Island with her son and started a new life, even opening a café.

In October 2021, she hinted at a possible return to acting by re-signing with her former agency, EL Park, which expressed support for her comeback. However, the contract eventually ended without any significant developments. In 2023, Park launched her personal YouTube channel and signed with a new agency, Chan Entertainment, in December 2024, signaling her return to the industry. She emphasized her commitment to returning to acting through short-form dramas and confirmed her comeback to variety shows with 'Dad and Me.'

Additionally, in November of last year, Park invited her close friend, comedian Hong In-kyu, to her YouTube channel, where they discussed her husband's situation. She asked if there were any questions he wanted to ask about the controversy, to which he cautiously inquired about their relationship. Park reassured him that they were doing well, addressing the divorce rumors circulating about them. Hong noted that he felt relieved to hear that everything was resolved, and Park humorously gestured that she was keeping a close watch on her husband.

As Park Han-byul returns to the variety show scene with her father, many are curious if she will openly discuss the emotional struggles and challenges she faced during the Burning Sun incident.

Having previously teamed up in the 'Duet Tag Battle,' the stakes are high as one of them must be eliminated in this final mission, adding to the suspense for viewers. Seo Samuel expressed his emotions before his performance, stating, "This is a song I wanted to sing for someone I love, and I will be getting married soon. I will sing it thinking of my wife." This heartfelt sentiment raises anticipation for his performance. 

Vincent Blue, on the other hand, chose to cover Park Jin-young's (박진영) 'Swing Baby (스윙 베이비),' emphasizing that the song contains elements he excels at. However, as he begins his performance, unexpected challenges arise, leaving the outcome uncertain. 

Additionally, Jeon Geon-ho, who faced criticism from 'TOP Listeners' in previous rounds, showcases a transformed persona. Acknowledging past mistakes, he stated, "I have learned a lot about being human and want to show my new self," as he covers Dear Cloud's (디어클라우드) 'Ice Fortress (얼음요새).'
