“Heart on Wheels” had viewers laughing and crying along with Lee Min-jung.

The episode aired on the 6th, showcasing the second day of the Jung siblings (Lee Min-jung, Boom, Ahn Jae-hyun, Kim Jung-hyun, and Kim Jae-won) and guest Lee Jun-young in a mountain village in Samcheok, Gangwon Province. Among them, the leader of the Jung siblings, Lee Min-jung, shed tears while listening to the stories of the village elders and burst into laughter, showcasing a surprising competitive spirit. Above all, Lee Min-jung's sincerity, as she noticed changes in her husband Lee Byung-hun and her brother Kim Jung-hyun, left a deep impression.

On that day, Lee Min-jung and Boom headed to a Korean language school for the village elders. Lee Min-jung served as a one-day Korean language teacher. She helped the elders study Korean using example sentences that included her own stories, such as ‘I was the happiest when my first son was born’ and ‘I cook well. That’s why my family likes it.’

At that time, an elder mentioned that her husband's first anniversary was approaching. Lee Min-jung empathized deeply with the elder's feelings of missing her husband, who had passed away, and shed tears. Boom also shared, “My father passed away in an accident,” adding, “If I could meet my father, the only thing I would want to say is 'I missed you.'” The sincerity of Lee Min-jung and Boom in conveying comfort to the elder made viewers feel moved.

Meanwhile, the flower boy quartet (Ahn Jae-hyun, Kim Jung-hyun, Kim Jae-won, Lee Jun-young) went to a traditional market to gather ingredients needed for the village feast. They had amusing encounters with citizens, playfully ribbing Lee Jun-young, saying, 'You should treat Geum-myeong better.' There was also a lighthearted moment with a standee of IU, with Lee Jun-young expressing his lingering affection. The quartet continued their comical eating scenes and Ahn Jae-hyun suddenly becoming a superstar in Samcheok.

Preparation for the village feast then began in earnest. On that day, the Jung siblings and Lee Jun-young chose a Western course meal that the elders typically could not easily access. Notably, Kim Jung-hyun took charge of the pumpkin soup, displaying culinary skills beyond expectations, attracting attention. Perhaps acknowledging the sincerity and effort of the Jung siblings and Lee Jun-young, the elders responded very positively. An elder they met at the Korean language school even conveyed her gratitude to Lee Min-jung in clumsy handwriting.

Additionally, the sincere conversations of the Jung siblings were revealed on this day. Late at night, before going to bed, the Jung siblings and Lee Jun-young gathered together. Lee Min-jung told Kim Jung-hyun, 'At first, you looked like you were determined to work hard, but later, it seemed you were enjoying the work, and it looked good. I feel like you are becoming healthier.' In response, Kim Jung-hyun shared, 'In the past, I was a person who preferred being alone unconditionally. That happened when I started acting. However, while doing “Heart on Wheels,” I've come to enjoy meeting people. I feel like I get good energy being around good people.'

Lee Min-jung noticed the positive change in Kim Jung-hyun. She remarked, 'An actor cannot survive alone. My husband (Lee Byung-hun) had been in a rut too, and I told him, ‘Actors portray others, so how can you act without seeing people and enjoy your time?’ At some point, my husband changed a lot.' She continued, 'Actors shouldn't be trapped. My life should be enjoyable,' adding affectionate advice to Kim Jung-hyun.

Thanks to Lee Min-jung's genuine heart, the broadcast was filled with touching moments. However, Lee Min-jung did not only evoke emotions. After dinner, when deciding on the person responsible for washing dishes through a hula hoop competition, she showcased her hilarious spontaneity by tossing her outerwear aside in a competitive spirit. As the broadcasts progressed, Lee Min-jung's charm surged forth, and the continued entertaining chemistry with the Jung siblings kept viewers intrigued and looking forward to more.

Meanwhile, a preview released at the end of the broadcast featured the chaotic Jung siblings alongside special guests Lee Chan-won and Shin Dong-yup, stealing the spotlight. Lee Chan-won is expected to lift spirits with his charming trot, while Shin Dong-yup, who rushed over for Lee Min-jung, shared stories about Lee Byung-hun. The upcoming episodes of “Heart on Wheels” are anticipated to become even richer with these special guests.

“Heart on Wheels” airs every Friday at 10 p.m.
