On the August 25 broadcast of SBS's "You're my destiny," former baseball player Yoon Suk-min and his wife Kim Soo-hyun joined the show as a new couple.

During the broadcast, Kim Soo-hyun, the wife of Yoon Suk-min, exposed her husband's alleged power trips. She surprised everyone by saying, "My husband acts like he holds all the power. In a dynamic where there is someone in charge and someone submissive, people around us say I am not the submissive one, but rather someone way beyond that, and I think so too."

In response, Yoon Suk-min expressed his frustration, stating, "I have heard people say I look like a bigfin reef squid, but I have never gone anywhere and abused my power in my life." However, Kim Soo-hyun maintained that Yoon Suk-min is indeed the one holding the power, while Yoon Suk-min continued to deny it, drawing attention.

On this day, Yoon Suk-min irritated viewers with his contrarian way of speaking. He told his wife things like, "This was bought with money I worked hard to earn," prompting the panel to criticize, "His way of speaking is not great, he could rack up a mountain of debt with just his words."

Nevertheless, Yoon Suk-min continued to act boastful toward his wife, asking, "Where else could you find a man as great as me?" He explained, "I would never act like this outside. I only do it because my wife accepts it all."

Eventually, a counterattack from his wife followed, prompting Yoon Suk-min to leave his seat and end the argument. However, his wife's revelations continued afterwards.

Kim Soo-hyun said, "He boasts so much and keeps taking credit for everything, so it is not cool." She added, "He tells me to say, 'Thank you for letting me live in this house,'" shocking everyone.

In response, Yoon Suk-min explained, "We are a married couple, so what does it matter who is better or worse? But since my wife reacts excessively to what I say, I find it entertaining so I keep doing it."

On this day, Yoon Suk-min suddenly invited a guest over. In response, Kim Soo-hyun said, "Inviting guests is fine. But I just wish you would tell me in advance." Yoon Suk-min then stated his own reason, saying, "If I tell you in advance, you start preparing three days before. That is why I cannot tell you in advance."

Kim Soo-hyun cooked a meal for the visit of close acquaintances Lee Dae-eun and Truedy. Upon seeing this, Truedy caused laughter by saying, "Unnie, is anyone else coming besides us? Is this a birthday party today? This is for exactly 21 people."

Truedy then offered a solution for the couple. Seeing Kim Soo-hyun get hurt by Yoon Suk-min's words, which consistently output the opposite of what she expects, Truedy said, "I will teach you how to use Yoon Suk-min." She added, "Yoon Suk-min is a really easy man. If you just give him a round of applause, he will do everything. The only thing he wants is a reaction." This made Yoon Suk-min empathize.

In response, Lee Dae-eun took Kim Soo-hyun's side, saying, "But if you keep clapping, you get exhausted. And even if you clap, he does not realize you did." Truedy then laughed and said, "We have to clap excessively," demonstrating the reaction Yoon Suk-min wanted.

Truedy and her husband Lee Dae-eun then expressed heartfelt support and affection for each other and told the other couple to try it as well.

In response, Yoon Suk-min said, "It is all thanks to you. Thank you so much for being born. We always support each other and I love you," creating a heartwarming atmosphere. However, that mood was short-lived. Yoon Suk-min showed lingering resentment by saying, "But you did not say thank you to me for being born," and brought laughter by delivering a harsh remark, "Ultimately, marriage is hell."
