Jang Woo-hyuk formally asked actress Oh Chae-i, who is 16 years younger, about his intention to date her officially. On the broadcast of Channel A's "Groom School" on the 27th, Jang Woo-hyuk was shown on his third date with Oh Chae-i. That day, Jang Woo-hyuk decided to have a date at a kids' cafe with Oh Chae-i, who was taking care of her nephew. Before the date, he called Moon Hee-jun, a father of two, to seek advice. Moon Hee-jun said, "From the perspective of the person you're dating now, it might be a kind of test. Seeing how well you get along with the child, you can start imagining the future. You start to envision it."
Moon Hee-jun continued, "I became seriously curious. Are you thinking about marriage?" Jang Woo-hyuk replied, "Watching your YouTube, my thoughts about marriage have become more positive. Seeing Jamjam and Hee-yul, the eldest kids, is so lovely." Jang Woo-hyuk expressed his desire for children, saying, "I once talked about this while drinking with you. Don't you want to raise a child born from your DNA?"
Moon Hee-jun honestly shared his feelings, saying, "It feels like I'm seeing my childhood. Exactly the same. Doing the same things I did when I was young." Seeing this, Lee Jung-jin wondered, "Meeting the family is great and wonderful, but are you meeting the nephew before meeting the elders?" Lee Seung-chul emphasized, "That kid will do great things later. If you get hugged, the future father-in-law will like it."
Later, Jang Woo-hyuk met Oh Chae-i and her nephew Lee Jun at the kids' cafe and played with them wholeheartedly, following Moon Hee-jun's advice. Lee Da-hae expressed regret, saying, "I can't have any conversation with Chae-i at all," but Jang Woo-hyuk said, "If I do this, I earn points with Ms. Chae-i, so I'm doing my best." While Oh Chae-i and Lee Jun stepped away, Jang Woo-hyuk, lost in thought, said, "It felt like doing 'We Are The Future' five times. I think I zoned out without realizing it. Ah, so this is what parenting is like? I really respect all the mothers and fathers in Korea."
When Lee Jun returned, Jang Woo-hyuk stood up again and proudly said, "Hee-jun told me not to show that I'm tired. On the contrary, I made the child tired." Oh Chae-i asked, "Is uncle cool?" and Lee Jun, seeming to like Jang Woo-hyuk, answered immediately, "Yes." Then Oh Chae-i said, "Actually, I packed a lunchbox. For the child. I worked hard to pack it this morning," and took out a homemade lunchbox. Jang Woo-hyuk praised her, saying, "Packing a lunchbox is impressive, but look at this quality."
Moon Se-yoon asked, "You must have imagined a lot. This lunchbox is for Jun now, but when it's packed for me, it will be even prettier, right?" Jang Woo-hyuk honestly replied, "I just see the future. Don't all men think they'd like to be with someone who cooks this well?" Feeding Lee Jun, Jang Woo-hyuk succeeded in being called "uncle-in-law," and Oh Chae-i said, "Isn't this the first time you've ever been called uncle-in-law? Why do you listen to uncle so well? I was really surprised."
Jang Woo-hyuk proudly said, "That day, I was called uncle-in-law 100 times. And I heard that I'm still called that at home. And they look for me like that." Moreover, while feeding Oh Chae-i, he jokingly said, "Honey~." Lee Jun's mother and Oh Chae-i's older sister appeared and took Lee Jun away, and Jang Woo-hyuk, who kept appealing as "uncle-in-law" until the end, complimented, "You look alike. She's very beautiful." Oh Chae-i said, "My sister looks a bit more glamorous," and Jang Woo-hyuk said, "I'm surprised how much you resemble each other," then suggested, "If you have time, shall we go for a second round?"
Jang Woo-hyuk said, "Today was really fun," and Oh Chae-i replied, "I'm glad. Thank you so much for your help." Jang Woo-hyuk admired, "Why is the baby so cute and obedient? Isn't looking after a nephew actually a job and hard?" Oh Chae-i said, "That's right. But since he's my nephew, I like him, so it's not hard at all." Jang Woo-hyuk said meaningfully, "Is this what married life is like? An indirect experience."
The two moved to a cozy pub, and Jang Woo-hyuk said, "As Hee-jun said, it's not all hard. There seems to be something gained. Definitely. Because Jun is so lovely." Oh Chae-i said, "Jun must really like it," and shared, "My sister and brother-in-law always have a drink after putting the child to sleep. Even just one can. It's nice to see them cozy together."
Jang Woo-hyuk asked, "Is it nice when the two of you drink beer? Do you talk about things like this?" Oh Chae-i revealed, "Actually, they call me a lot." Jang Woo-hyuk was curious, "Do they give you a lot of advice? About marriage or having a baby, newlyweds, or dating?" Oh Chae-i said, "Of course. My sister definitely tells me to meet a caring man. My brother-in-law, being a man, says if there's someone, bring them over, I'll verify."
Jang Woo-hyuk cautiously asked, "Have the three of them ever talked about me?" Oh Chae-i honestly said, "For now, they see you positively. My brother-in-law is still a bit..." Jang Woo-hyuk said, "From what I see, Jun seems like a lucky charm," and admitted, "I didn't even know I liked kids that much." He asked, "Since you really like babies, what kind of mother do you want to be?" Oh Chae-i said, "A mother who can make her child feel loved. A mother who can give a lot of love like a tree that gives without holding back."
Jang Woo-hyuk said, "Basically, I think love is everything. Everything in this world is made up of love, and with love alone, I think you can do anything," adding, "I tried hard to give love like that, and because I tried, it naturally happened." Oh Chae-i responded positively, "It's definitely the third time we meet today. Maybe because of the nephew? I feel we've gotten really close. I've seen many new sides of you."
Jang Woo-hyuk said, "Seeing you with the nephew, it felt like a mother and son. Watching you handle the baby so skillfully, I actually fell a little." Watching this, Shim Jin-hwa brought up the "November wedding rumor," saying, "They said they'd meet in July and marry in November, according to tarot." Lee Seung-chul added, "The weather in November is really nice these days. Ah, I'm so excited!"
Oh Chae-i said, "As I mentioned when we first met, I'm not the type to just date for dating; I need to see a future for the relationship to progress." Jang Woo-hyuk said, "I'm also a very serious person like you, Chae-i. This is the third meeting after the first and second, and though it was a short time, I had many thoughts. So I want to ask if you would seriously consider dating me from now on."
