Kim Dong-young and Kim Ye-eun, who first met through a matchmaking agency, quickly captured viewers’ attention with the sweet rapport of a newlywed couple after just a single episode together.

In episode 89 of TV CHOSUN’s reality-documentary show Lovers of Joseon, airing on August 11, viewers will see Kim Dong-young—son of Kim Hak-rae and Lim Mi-sook—alongside Kim Ye-eun, who is seven years his junior. The pair display the heart-fluttering charm of newlyweds as they spend time together.

During the episode, the two visit a supermarket together to prepare a meal for Kim Dong-young’s parents. Their playful and innocent atmosphere, reminiscent of a couple in their honeymoon phase, was noticed by Choi Sung-guk, who couldn’t help but smile approvingly at the scene.

Before starting to cook, Kim Dong-young, taking on dishwashing duty, asked Kim Ye-eun, “Could you roll up my sleeves for me?” instantly filling the room with excitement. While Kim Ye-eun handled a knife a bit awkwardly, Kim Dong-young confidently prepped potatoes, revealing his culinary skills. “I’ve been helping out as a kitchen assistant for my parents for 20 years,” he mentioned, also citing his decade-long experience living independently—leaving everyone impressed.

As they cooked together, Kim Ye-eun struggled to tear a clumsily cut bell pepper, prompting Kim Dong-young to encourage her: “You’re doing great! Even a whale dances when you praise it.” Watching this, MC Hwangbo-ra joked, “He’s totally under her spell,” adding laughter to the scene.

The upcoming broadcast will not only capture the couple’s sweet, newlywed-like daily life, but will also reveal the result of their heartfelt efforts to cook for Dong-young’s parents.

TV CHOSUN’s Lovers of Joseon episode 89 is scheduled to air at 10 PM on August 11.
