Baek Il-seob on 'You're My Destiny': "Lee Soon-jae and Kang Boo-ja Tried to Stop My Jolhon"

From the candid confession of actor Baek Il-seob, the first celebrity to undergo a jolhon (a marriage graduation), to the special life of Lee Jang-won and Bae Da-hae living with a 100-year-old roommate, a variety of stories are coming your way.

On the episode of SBS 'You're My Destiny' airing on the 21st, special MC Baek Il-seob will share behind-the-scenes stories of his jolhon, and the daily life of Lee Jang-won and Bae Da-hae, who are returning to the show after two years, will be featured.

Baek Il-seob, who has a 62-year acting career, participated in the studio recording and reminisced about his heyday as the original "cool guy" and "nation's father," while also honestly opening up about the time he became the first celebrity to declare a jolhon.

In particular, he drew attention by revealing that close senior actors such as Kang Boo-ja and Lee Soon-jae scolded and tried to dissuade him, asking, "Why are you leaving your wife behind?" Despite this, Baek, who did not bend his will, sparked curiosity by sharing his honest feelings about his own free jolhon life, saying, "It feels like I'm living out on a sleepover."

Meanwhile, Lee Jang-won and Bae Da-hae, who are in their 6th year of marriage, are reappearing on 'You're My Destiny' after two years to share their update as a family of three. Their new roommate is none other than Lee Jang-won's 100-year-old grandfather. The couple will reveal for the first time on broadcast the behind-the-scenes story of moving in together, along with the grandfather's customized healthy diet, exercise routines, and special habits—a "100-year-old longevity routine"—that left the studio in awe.

Along with this, a historic meeting between the 100-year-old grandfather and his 99-year-old friend and his wife is set to captivate viewers. As members of the 9th class of the Korea Military Academy, the group, with a combined age of 300, will share memories of their time as cadets 80 years ago and vivid recollections of experiencing the Korean War. It is said that the studio cast could not hide their emotions when the touching greeting, "We survived," was exchanged and the class roster, marked by the passage of time, was revealed.

The touching story of an 80-year friendship that spans modern Korean history and the candid behind-the-scenes story of Baek Il-seob's jolhon will be revealed on 'You're My Destiny,' airing on the 21st at 10:40 PM.
