SHINee's Minho unveiled a luxury apartment with a Han River view, creating the best one minute of 'Home Alone.'
On the 11th broadcast of the MBC entertainment program 'Home Alone,' SHINee's Minho's unquenchable 'fireman' daily life and Im Wooil's visit to his hometown for his injured mother were revealed.
On the 12th, Nielsen Korea reported that the household viewership rating for 'Home Alone,' which aired the previous day, was 5.5% based on the metropolitan area, making it the top-rated program overall on Friday. The key 2049 viewership rating, a major indicator for advertisers and a benchmark for channel competitiveness, also ranked first among all programs on Friday at 2.9% (based on the metropolitan area).
The best one minute featured Minho, who participated in 'Ironman' training, clearing the notorious 'Three-tier IU Hill' (23:49–23:50) and sucking down ramen he cooked as part of his own '6-minute ramen challenge,' cleaning the table in a 'firework cleaning' scene (24:01–24:02). The viewership peaked at 6.7%.
As the protagonist of 'Rainbow Live,' SHINee's Minho appeared in the 'Home Alone' studio and expressed his concern among close friends 'Left Code Kunst, Right Key,' saying, 'The biggest worry is what these two will say,' promising a lot of laughs. Minho, who started his morning with alarms ringing every minute, stated that he often has trouble waking up, saying, 'I set a minimum of 20 alarms and a maximum of 40,' shocking the rainbow members.
After about 20 minutes of waking up, Minho arrived at the sports center. He, whose life motto is 'Let's challenge,' noted that he is preparing for an 'Ironman' competition and expressed his goal to reach the podium (top 3) in the upcoming competition in November, drawing attention. Despite being on an empty stomach, Minho demonstrated 'fireman spirit,' diving into national team-level hard training from swimming to cycling, impressing many. Key remarked, 'If he messed up the choreography or lyrics while preparing for SHINee's activities, I would have told him to stop exercising. But he's doing just fine,' showing respect for Minho’s passion in both his main job and training.
After a lengthy workout on an empty stomach lasting 6 hours and 30 minutes, Minho returned home and presented his own '6-minute ramen challenge,' boiling ramen while showering, which Kian84 commented, 'He turns everything into a sport.' After enjoying a 30-minute nap following his meal, Minho dressed up and headed to the gym again, starting a new workout that left the rainbow members astonished. Minho's remark that he is preparing for a competition led Code Kunst to joke, 'Seems like all he needs to do now is participate in 'Squid Game,' adding that he was 'glad he went crazy' with their friend Minho.
Minho stated, 'I can’t do this unless I’m happy. I push myself to feel a sense of accomplishment after finishing my workout,' and added that 'when I have a busy schedule, I feel anxious on the days I take off. When I return home after working out, I think, ‘I achieved something today. I brought happiness to myself.' He also mentioned, 'Today, I did three sessions, but sometimes I even do four,' and when he said, 'My ultimate goal is Ironman,' Key reacted with, 'Seriously, what is going on?' which evoked laughter.
Meanwhile, Im Wooil, who captured attention with his raw charm after his first appearance on 'Rainbow Live,' returned and continued to attract the spotlight. He brewed new coffee using the coffee he had neatly stored in the refrigerator and filled a bag of purchased ice with homemade ice cubes, showing his consistent thriftiness. Im Wooil, noting he received messages from viewers concerned about bacteria, humorously declared, 'I’ll show you it’s not me.' In preparation of the first air conditioner activation, he cleaned the air conditioner filters and set off for a motorcycle ride with his ‘recycled’ coffee.
The sight of Im Wooil with long hair flying while wearing a motorcycle helmet made Park Na-rae call him 'Bacteria' and provoked laughter. After a long ride, he arrived at the Shihwa Narae Rest Area, which overlooks the west sea. Upon seeing a cute seagull, he purchased shrimp snacks, but an unexpected and aggressive welcome from the seagulls led to a hilarious situation. Especially, his startled reaction when attacked by seagulls, as if playing a guitar, sent the studio into fits of laughter.
Afterward, Im Wooil rode his motorcycle to his destination, his hometown where his mother and pet dog Bongsun reside. Im Wooil, who visits his hometown every week to help his mother, who injured her foot, inhaled his mother’s cooking and engaged in a full 'filial duty mission.' He nonchalantly handed his mother a wad of pocket money and bought a bouquet of fruit for the elderly at the community center she attends.
At the moment when Im Wooil, carrying a watermelon and a fruit box, was about to enter the elevator with his mother, the elevator door closed, leaving him alone to call out, 'Mom!' eliciting a feeling of sympathy. In response, Im Wooil remarked, 'I experienced that multiple times when I was young,' describing how he and his mother 'survived on their own' at the market, which brought about laughter. After a series of twists and turns, Im Wooil arrived at the community center with his mother and held an impromptu autograph session for the welcoming mothers, returning home to complete the remaining 'filial duty missions.'
Next week, Kian84 will be seen doing a large summer cleaning and receiving tutoring from a one-day Japanese teacher, Gangnam, while Red Velvet's Joy visits her younger sibling's newlywed home, raising expectations.
