Jeon Hyun-moo and Lee Joo-seung Shine on I Live Alone

In the latest episode of MBC's I Live Alone (나 혼자 산다), Jeon Hyun-moo and Lee Joo-seung showcased their comedic chemistry through a chaotic badminton match and a surprising sleeping arrangement, hinting at the birth of a new 'best couple.' Meanwhile, Ahn Jae-hyun celebrated his 20-year friendship with his buddies through candid conversations and nostalgic memories.

The episode aired on May 9, 2025, as part of the 'Spring Rainbow Refresh' special, featuring Jeon Hyun-moo's 'Immunity Boosting Project' and Ahn Jae-hyun spending time with his long-time friends.

According to Nielsen Korea, the highest viewership rating of 6.7% was recorded during a segment where Jeon Hyun-moo and Lee Joo-seung engaged in a 'slow jogging' session from Gangnam to Seongsu-dong, which had viewers in stitches as they resembled glitching video game characters.

Jeon Hyun-moo kicked off his day at 6 AM, embarking on his immunity project by trying out the trending 'Cold Plunge' method, inspired by Jennie’s health tips. After experiencing the invigorating cold water, he enthusiastically recommended it to his fellow cast members, describing it as a sensation that awakened his cells.

Later, Jeon challenged Lee Joo-seung, his badminton mentor, to a lunch bet. Despite Lee's confident declaration that comparisons were beneath him, he was hilariously taken down by Jeon’s unexpected tactics and cheeky excuses, leading to a laugh-out-loud moment when Jeon claimed victory.

Jeon then suggested 'slow jogging' as a cooler alternative to running, and they made their way to a popular restaurant where Jeon indulged in bossam and kalguksu. Overcome by drowsiness, he decided to take a break at Lee's house.

The studio erupted in shock when a scene showed Jeon and Lee lying side by side on a super single bed adorned with deep green bedding. Jeon remarked on how rare it was to lie next to someone, while Lee comically scrambled out of the bed, eliciting laughter from the audience. Their playful banter and teasing led viewers to react positively, dubbing them the new best couple.

In another segment, Ahn Jae-hyun was seen with his friends, greeting their parents and unexpectedly getting involved in farm work. Unlike his friends who worked effortlessly, Ahn struggled, sweating profusely while wielding a heavy axe, which provided comic relief.

His friends, treating him like a younger brother, patiently demonstrated the tasks, creating a warm atmosphere. After their labor, the trio enjoyed a feast of Korean beef, steamed crabs, and grilled clams, reminiscing about old times.

Ahn's friends humorously shared stories from his past, including a time when he was too shy to accept a confession, which made Ahn squirm in embarrassment. They also revealed that during tough times, he had avoided contacting them, claiming he didn’t want to see them happy.

Ahn expressed gratitude for his friends who supported him during his struggles, reflecting on how much he appreciated their friendship. He concluded that he felt optimistic about his future, thanks to their unwavering support.

Next week, viewers can look forward to a special segment featuring the tiger triplet brothers Lee Jang-woo, Ryu-un, and Stray Kids' Lee Know hosting a beef party, along with musical actor Kai showcasing his artistic and elegant lifestyle.
