On the November 8 broadcast of SBS's "My Little Old Boy," a new bachelor joined the cast.
On this day's broadcast, Shin Dong-yeob introduced the new son as "a truly real 'ugly duckling' who is older than Tak Jae-hoon." The member he introduced was none other than singer Kim Jang-hoon.
During the episode, Kim Jang-hoon soothed his boredom over the phone. He called HAHA and kept the conversation going by any means possible, holding on to HAHA—who was trying to hang up—for about 30 minutes.
He then warmly welcomed junior singer Lee So-ra, who visited his home. Lee So-ra, who rarely leaves her house all year, had paid a personal visit to look over stage outfits for her close friend Kim Jang-hoon.
After helping him select his stage outfits, Lee So-ra surprised everyone by tidying up Kim Jang-hoon's home and doing his dishes as if it were second nature, taking care of housework just like his mother.
When the two finally sat down side by side, an exhausted Lee So-ra asked Kim Jang-hoon if she could at least get some water. Only then did Kim Jang-hoon realize that he had not served anything to his guest, drawing bursts of laughter.
The two continued their conversation, catching up on each other's lives. Kim Jang-hoon drew attention by sharing, "My pension is coming out soon. Starting the year after next, the subway is free for me too."
To this, Lee So-ra joked, "Wow, then does that mean you don't have to sing anymore?" Kim Jang-hoon caught people's eye by replying, "I can donate it all. I was trying to save money, but I decided to donate again."
Speaking of "donation king" Kim Jang-hoon, Lee So-ra recalled how he had handed out taxi fares to the audience in the past after the recording of her show finished.
Kim Jang-hoon explained the reason behind covering their cab fares: "That was probably your second recording. Because of trial and error, the shoot wrapped up at dawn, and I felt so sorry for the audience."
He then surprised everyone by adding, "20,000 won for Seoul, 30,000 won for Gyeonggi-do. I handed out taxi fares to each and every audience member."
The two also reminisced about their past romances. Kim Jang-hoon surprised everyone by saying, "You are the last dating rumor I ever had."
The close friends had indeed been swept up in dating rumors in the past. To this, Kim Jang-hoon shared an anecdote, saying, "But wasn't it impossible not to think that? The two of us walked around Daehangno like that," explaining that citizens were bewildered seeing them boldly strolling through Daehangno while showing physical affection.
Seeing Kim Jang-hoon look noticeably lonely, Lee So-ra asked what kind of woman he wanted to meet. Kim Jang-hoon expressed his wish, saying, "I want to meet someone who can multitask—someone who can be a friend, a mother, and a daughter."
Lee So-ra then delivered a reality check, saying, "That's going to be hard to find. You should probably just live alone," drawing laughter.
Meanwhile, at the end of the broadcast, a preview caught viewers' attention by teasing a combined 100th debut anniversary celebration for singers Nam Jin, who marked his 61st debut anniversary, and Seol Woon-do, who marked his 44th debut anniversary.
