On the March 8 episode of KBS2's Salim Namja 2 (살림하는 남자들2), Park Seo-jin (박서진) was seen visiting Wolmido with Ji Sang-ryeol (지상렬). The duo enjoyed various rides at the Wolmido amusement park, including the Disco Pang Pang and the Viking. Ji Sang-ryeol humorously remarked, "It's not an excuse; it's just that my heart races. If I make a mistake, I'm done for. Yet, I'm still riding!" 

Despite having a fear of heights, Park Seo-jin admitted, "I was really scared, but I trusted my brother when he said he would ride with me." However, just before the ride started, Ji Sang-ryeol made a surprising exit, leaving Park Seo-jin feeling betrayed. He expressed, "It felt like being stabbed in the back by someone I trusted. When a person is truly shocked, they can't even curse." 

Ji Sang-ryeol, reflecting on the incident, shared, "Honestly, it was edited out, but I rode the Pang Pang and then went to the bathroom to put on a diaper. What’s so wrong with that? My heart isn’t great, you know?" He encouraged Park Seo-jin, saying, "You’re young, Seo-jin! Youth is the best!" However, Park Seo-jin displayed a mix of fear and anger during the ride. Ji Sang-ryeol apologized, saying, "I’m sorry, Seo-jin. I’ll be turning 60 soon too," but the footage showed him laughing, which added to the humor of the situation. 

Park Seo-jin revealed, "The betrayal I felt was enough to melt my heart, which had been so supportive of Ji Sang-ryeol. I even refused to shake his hand, showing how hurt I was." Ji Sang-ryeol jokingly congratulated him on "landing in Incheon," to which Park Seo-jin responded, "I felt like I was crossing the Jordan River." 

Later, the two recharged at a pork rib restaurant. Ji Sang-ryeol stopped Park Seo-jin from grilling the meat, saying, "Seo-jin, don’t work here. I’m the youngest at home. My wish is to have a younger sibling, and then you appeared like magic, my precious younger brother." 

However, Park Seo-jin shared, "I didn’t know I would get off at that moment. It felt like a puppy being abandoned by its owner. That was the sadness I felt then." Sensing the tension, Ji Sang-ryeol remarked, "This broadcast is like pulling out a rotten tooth. It’s really the end today," and apologized again. 

Park Seo-jin concluded, "I forgot about my fear of heights," while Ji Sang-ryeol added, "But you overcame it! You’ve become the Iron Man of Incheon!" Park Seo-jin emphasized, "After going that high, I felt like I was an Iron Man without any strong emotions, all because of the betrayal." Ji Sang-ryeol humorously noted, "My mouth has gained strength. Don’t use this against me; if an attack comes, I’m in trouble!"

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."

Yoo noted that many people around him have had similar surgeries, and he humorously recounted how he had been worried about Kim's health, only to realize the reason behind the cushion was the surgery. This light-hearted exchange provided a glimpse into Kim's experience and recovery process.

The episode will highlight the first round of the final mission, the '1vs1 TOP5 Decision Match,' where the ten cover singers will compete with their 'life cover songs' to determine who advances to the second round. A notable face-off will occur between Vincent Blue and Seo Samuel. 

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.

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.

On the premiere episode of ENA's new variety show, 'Choi Hwa-jung and Kim Ho-young's I Missed You,' aired on March 8, Choo Sung-hoon opened up about his daughter, Sarang. He proudly shared that Sarang is 13 years old and stands over 165 cm tall, boasting about her long legs. 

Choo also discussed a recent video on his personal channel where Sarang cut his hair, expressing that he enjoyed the hair dyeing experience even more. He reminisced about dyeing his hair with Sarang when his mother started getting gray hair, highlighting the special bond they share during those moments. 

During the show, Kim Ho-young brought up Sarang's long-time male friend, Yuto, who comes from a family of doctors for 15 generations. When Choi Hwa-jung asked Choo how he would feel if Sarang were to marry Yuto, he responded, 'If they like each other, I have no reason to stop them. She's not just a 13-year-old; she thinks about the future and we connect well.'

On March 9, it was reported that the SBS drama Treasure Island (보물섬), written by Lee Myung-hee and directed by Jin Chang-kyu, achieved its highest viewership rating yet. The sixth episode, aired on March 8, garnered a nationwide rating of 11.2%, marking a 3 percentage point increase from the previous episode. This impressive figure secured the drama the top spot across all channels during its time slot, including Saturday mini-series and weekly mini-series rankings. In the Seoul metropolitan area, the rating reached 11%, with a peak of 12.3%. The 2049 demographic rating also stood at 2.9%, further highlighting the show's popularity.

In the latest episode, the intense dynamics between Seo Dong-joo (Park Hyung-sik), Yeom Jang-seon (Heo Jun-ho), and Heo Il-do (Lee Hae-young) created a gripping atmosphere filled with tension. Yeom Jang-seon’s ruthless ambition was on full display as he resorted to extreme measures, shocking Seo Dong-joo.

Previously, Yeom Jang-seon had kidnapped Seo Dong-joo, believing he was faking amnesia, and subjected him to torture in hopes of extracting the password to a 2 trillion won bank account. However, even under extreme duress, Seo Dong-joo remained silent about the password, leading to speculation that he truly had lost his memory. Eventually, Yeom Jang-seon and Heo Il-do changed their approach, with Heo Il-do rescuing Seo Dong-joo from his captors.

Feigning concern, Yeom Jang-seon embraced the battered Seo Dong-joo, who expressed gratitude for being saved. The ambiguity surrounding Seo Dong-joo's true memory status added layers to the unfolding drama, as both Yeom Jang-seon and Heo Il-do concealed their true intentions.

As the episode progressed, the three men began to exert pressure on one another. Heo Il-do, convinced of Seo Dong-joo's amnesia, demanded half of the political slush fund from Yeom Jang-seon, stating, "It’s better to give up half than risk losing everything." This unexpected shift in Heo Il-do's demeanor raised alarms for Yeom Jang-seon.

Meanwhile, Seo Dong-joo, whether intentionally or not, also began to confront Heo Il-do. Staying at the Daesan family home, he appeared late at night in Heo Il-do's workout space, provoking feelings of insecurity and jealousy in Heo Il-do. Seo Dong-joo escalated the confrontation by asking, "Did you try to kill me with a gun?"

In response to the mounting pressure from Heo Il-do, Yeom Jang-seon resolved to deliver an even greater shock to Seo Dong-joo in hopes of triggering his memories. His chosen method was particularly sinister: he planned to kill Seo Dong-joo's sister, Sister Agnes (Han Ji-hye), in front of him. Witnessing the tragic accident involving his sister plunged Seo Dong-joo into a state of shock, seemingly triggering flashes of his past memories.

The episode concluded with a dramatic cliffhanger, as Seo Dong-joo, reeling from the shock, faced Yeom Jang-seon, who ominously declared, "I will bring back your lost memories with an even greater shock!" This unexpected ending left viewers eager for Seo Dong-joo's retaliation against Yeom Jang-seon, setting the stage for a gripping continuation. The performances of the cast effectively captured the tension and complexity of the narrative.
