The Sunday 9 p.m. KST episode of SBS’s "My Little Old Boy" follows Jo as she plans a surprise birthday celebration with close friend Song Ga-in, setting the stage for a heartwarming TV moment.
Jo has previously opened up on the show about life with her stepdad after her mother’s passing, sharing that her biological father died when she was five and that her stepfather stepped in to raise her and champion her dreams.
For the milestone birthday, Jo masterminds a stealth meet-up with Song Ga-in―her stepdad’s favorite singer―teasing the show’s “Mom Avengers” panel with hints of a major surprise. The plan: Song lies low at the party and pops out at just the right time. Jo also rents an entire yacht for the occasion, transforming one corner into a “for Dad only” space, with more details saved for the broadcast.
Marking their first big celebration without her mother, Jo reveals an emotional story about something her mom left behind in preparation for days like this. She also shares that she once considered legally taking her stepfather’s surname, Lee―a revelation that leaves everyone stunned.
When the big moment hits, Song Ga-in emerges from the back of the yacht mid-song, sending the party into overdrive. Jo’s stepfather―who never imagined she’d be on board―delivers a priceless reaction that even the MCs say they’ve never seen before. The night caps off with a powerhouse duet from Song Ga-in and Jo Hyun-ah that turns the deck into a mini-concert stage.
The can’t-miss surprise unfolds on "My Little Old Boy," airing Sunday at 9 p.m. KST on SBS.
