My Little Old Boy

Episode 493 • Hilarious Moments & Heartwarming Stories

1. Kangnam's Dramatic Weight Loss & Epic Pranks on Lee Sang-hwa

Kangnam officially became a Korean citizen after passing the naturalization exam on his sixth try! The former Japanese star lost a massive 20kg in just 4 months and shared how his wife, speed skater Lee Sang-hwa, now treats him like a baby.

“She was like my senior athlete when I was chubby… now she adores me,” Kangnam laughed. He also shared his struggles learning Korean pronunciation, especially words like “salted shrimp.”

"Husbands must make an effort too to be loved." — Kangnam

2. Joon Ho’s Wild Dream: Buying a Private Island in Tongyeong

The cast visited a tiny island called “Ddabak Island” that turns into a true island at high tide. Priced at only $130,000, the boys seriously considered buying it together.

• ✅ Stunning ocean view & private campsite
• ✅ Mudflat access (very messy!)
• ✅ Perfect for digital detox (bad cell service)
• ❌ 15% of the island submerges at high tide

Joon Ho got a reality check when he called his wife Ji Min, who was sick and immediately shut down the idea. The boys ended up setting up a hammock and roasting dried squid instead.

3. Lee Beom-soo: The Ultimate Analog Man at a Baseball Game

Lee Beom-soo, the lovable analog man, embarked on a solo journey to watch the Hanwha Eagles game in Daejeon. From struggling to buy train tickets to using a kiosk, his adventure was pure comedy gold.

He successfully bought an outfield ticket on-site, waited in line for a retro Binggrae Eagles uniform, and even tried (and failed) to use the stadium app. Classic Beom-soo moments had the studio in stitches.

"What's going on?" — Lee Beom-soo (repeatedly while watching the game from afar)

4. Legendary 1st Gen Idol Reunion: H.O.T × SECHSKIES × god

A dream lineup! Moon Hee-joon (H.O.T), Tony An, Jang Su-won (SECHSKIES), and god members gathered to celebrate H.O.T’s 30th anniversary.

Memorable Stories:

• H.O.T had ambulances and extended subway service ready for their concerts
• The Ministry of Education issued an “early leave ban” because students skipped school for H.O.T shows
• SECHSKIES fans smashed their manager’s new Grandeur car after disbandment rumors
• god’s “To Mother” brought runaway teens back home
• They all danced to their classic hits: “Full of Happiness,” “Descent of Warriors,” and “Friday Night”

The boys also shared trainee stories — from practicing in front of office windows using shadows to ordering main dishes with jjajangmyeon.
