On the Aug. 17 episode of SBS’s 'My Little Old Boy,' the actor encouraged his mother to meet someone new.
During the broadcast, Yoon urged his mom to try a blind date and even phoned his aunt for backup to help persuade her.
His aunt recalled a past attempt that fizzled, laughing as she said, “The guy was into it when I told him about her, but your mom was like, ‘Oh my God, oh my God.’ He was a bit bald ― she’s very particular.”
“I’ve been nudging her nonstop,” Yoon admitted. “Just meet someone. If there’s no spark, you can be friends. If the conversation clicks, maybe he becomes your boyfriend.” His aunt was all in on the plan.
Yoon’s mother hesitated, saying, “It feels too late for romance.” Yoon and his aunt pushed back: “People live to 100 these days ― it’s not too late,” they cheered, rooting for her second act.
Yoon then revealed, “Since I was 20, I’ve dreamed of you remarrying, Mom” sharing that she’s been on her own for 38 years. He added a playful ultimatum to sweeten the deal: “Mom, if you date, I’ll start dating too.”
