Hwanhee’s Mother Reveals Shocking Reason for Secret Late-Life Divorce on ‘Mr. House Husband’

Hwanhee is getting even closer to his mother as they share their honest, inner feelings.

In the May 23 episode of KBS 2TV’s ‘Mr. House Husband Season 2’ (hereafter ‘Mr. House Husband’), the second part of Hwanhee and his mother’s first-ever trip to Jeju Island will unfold.

On the second day of the trip, Hwanhee visits an amusement park with his mother. Visiting an amusement park for the first time in her life, his mother is overjoyed like a child, releasing a burst of dopamine that had been stored up for 74 years through activities like the Viking ship and rail sleds. On the other hand, unlike his charismatic stage presence, Hwanhee shows a surprising side by being terrified in front of the rides, turning the scene into a sea of laughter.

However, the joy is short-lived as his mother becomes emotional while remembering her own mother who passed away recently. She opens up, saying, “Coming to Jeju makes me think of my late mother a lot. It’s a regret that I never brought her to a place like this.” Hwanhee then reveals that he planned this trip to comfort his mother, who had been depressed after her mother’s passing, touching everyone in the studio.

Notably, this episode will reveal the story of Hwanhee’s father for the first time, a topic that has sparked much curiosity among viewers since Hwanhee began appearing on ‘Mr. House Husband’. After much deliberation, his mother confesses a shocking truth that she had to endure alone: “There’s something I handled without telling you guys,” and “I’ve been divorced for two years.”

What was the real reason his mother, who spent her whole life devoted to her family, eventually decided on a late-life divorce? Curiosity grows over what heartwarming words of comfort Hwanhee offered his mother, who felt sorry for her children, saying, “I didn’t want to burden you anymore.”

The final part of Hwanhee and his mother’s Jeju trip, filled with heartfelt confessions, can be seen on KBS 2TV’s ‘Mr. House Husband’ on May 23 at 9:20 PM.
