The SBS flagship entertainment program is shaken by the possibility of cast members leaving. This is because Lee Sang-min and Kim Jun-ho, who are active at the center of 'My Little Old Boy' and 'Divorced Single Men,' are both facing the possibility of departure due to 'marriage.'

On the 30th, SBS stated, 'It is right for Lee Sang-min to remarry a non-celebrity.' The process of Lee Sang-min’s remarriage is expected to be revealed through 'My Little Old Boy,' which will be broadcast on May 11.

On that day, a media outlet reported that Lee Sang-min would marry a younger non-celebrity this summer. According to the report, Lee Sang-min has been secretly preparing for marriage with his partner, with whom he has been having a good relationship, and it is predicted that the wedding date will be earlier than July, when Kim Jun-ho and Kim Ji-min are getting married.

As Lee Sang-min’s remarriage is confirmed as a fact, he will be setting up a family again after 20 years. He married singer-turned-broadcaster Lee Hye-young in 2004 but divorced the following year. Lee Hye-young remarried in 2011 and has two daughters.

With Lee Sang-min's remarriage following Kim Jun-ho's, there is 'double joy,' but the situations for 'My Little Old Boy' and 'Divorced Single Men,' in which they are participating, are not simply to be laughed about. This is because the 'marriage' status of the cast members in both programs could lead to their 'departure.'

'My Little Old Boy' is a program where mothers observe their sons' daily lives and record moments through the device of a parenting diary. Although it is called a 'parenting diary,' it has been interpreted as a departure due to 'marriage' because many so-called 'bachelor' entertainers who have not married have appeared since the early broadcasts.

'Divorced Single Men' is also similar. Described as a talk show for four men thirsty for happiness, it features 'divorced' male entertainers showing their daily lives and recently has showcased the guests they invite for discussions. Since the cast members of 'Divorced Single Men' are 'divorced,' members involved in 'remarriage rumors' are naturally engulfed in 'departure rumors.'

A typical program like this is MBC's 'I Live Alone.' Reflecting the rising trend of single men and women and single-person households, it is a documentary-style entertainment program that captures the daily lives of famous individuals living alone, and since marriage means setting up a family, it leads to departure. Lee Jung-wan, along with Lee Si-eon, is a representative member who departed due to marriage, and recently, Lee Jang-woo has been engulfed in departure rumors after mentioning marriage.

So, will Lee Sang-min, who is remarrying, also depart from 'My Little Old Boy' and 'Divorced Single Men'? Regarding this, SBS noted, 'There have been no discussions about future appearances on the currently participating programs.'
