Kim Jun-ho's Emotional Proposal to Kim Ji-min on 'My Little Old Boy'

In the latest episode of SBS's 'My Little Old Boy' (미운 우리 새끼), aired on December 22, 2024, Kim Jun-ho moved everyone to tears with a heartfelt proposal to Kim Ji-min. The episode featured a special appearance by Kim Ji-min's mother, who was dubbed the 'Special Mother Avengers'.

During the show, host Seo Jang-hoon asked Kim Ji-min's mother if her appearance meant a wedding date had been set. She humorously replied, "No, this is news to me, but maybe there will be some news next year." When asked about her future son-in-law's shortcomings, she expressed concern over Kim Jun-ho's smoking habits, saying, "I worry about his health. I hope he quits smoking, and he needs to manage his stamina better. He seems to be easily swayed into business ventures," which elicited laughter from the audience.

The production team then revealed the reason for Kim Ji-min's mother's special appearance: Kim Jun-ho was preparing to propose to Kim Ji-min. Just six hours before the proposal, the couple was seen undergoing a health check-up at a hospital. Unaware of the proposal, Kim Ji-min showed signs of nervousness, while Kim Jun-ho explained, "Couples usually get health check-ups before marriage to show each other their results." Kim Ji-min expressed her worries about her health, particularly her smoking and body fat, stating, "I look weaker than the older members of 'My Little Old Boy' and I'm concerned about my stamina."

After completing various tests, including ultrasound and body fat measurements, the results revealed that Kim Jun-ho was overweight and had high levels of triglycerides and cholesterol, shocking everyone. His sperm count also dropped from the 3s to 2.7, making him the lowest among the cast members. The serious results led Kim Ji-min to remind him, "Do you remember that the condition for marriage was to quit smoking? If you don't, I will have to reconsider. It affects me too."

Meanwhile, while Kim Ji-min underwent an endoscopy, Kim Jun-ho met with Lee Sang-min to finalize his proposal plans. When Lee Sang-min asked if he was serious about marriage, Kim Jun-ho smiled and said, "I’ll go ahead first," to which Lee Sang-min jokingly replied, "Just don’t go and not come back!"

Kim Jun-ho practiced his proposal with a sketchbook letter, preparing to surprise Kim Ji-min as she exited the elevator. When she saw him, she burst into laughter at the unexpected event. He confessed, "Honestly, I thought there would be no love in my life until I met you. I realized you are my last love when you stayed by my side during my tough times." He added, "I said I wouldn’t marry unless I quit smoking, right? This time, I will really quit," as he dramatically broke a cigarette and smashed a bottle of alcohol, making Kim Ji-min laugh and say, "Keep your promise."

As they reached the rooftop, Kim Jun-ho led Kim Ji-min to the final part of his proposal. She was taken aback by the romantic setup he had prepared. When a video detailing their love story played, Kim Ji-min couldn’t hold back her tears, and even her mother in the studio was moved to tears. Outside, Kim Jun-ho and Lee Sang-min were also emotional. After the video, Kim Jun-ho sang a heartfelt song before kneeling down and asking, "Ji-min, thank you for loving me, even with my flaws. Let’s love each other for a long time and get married, okay?"

Overwhelmed with emotion, Kim Ji-min accepted his proposal, saying, "Put it on me." The touching moment left everyone in tears. Shin Dong-yup reflected on how Kim Jun-ho had been a strong support for Kim Ji-min during her father's passing, saying, "He felt like he was in his rightful place."

Kim Ji-min's mother expressed her gratitude to Kim Jun-ho but also reminded him, "You’re not young anymore. If you get married, you’ll need to think about having children and taking care of your health to live a long life with Ji-min. So, please focus on your health." Shin Dong-yup humorously shouted, "Get it together, Kim Jun-ho!"
