KBS 2TV's 'Salimnam' brought laughter and empathy to viewers by focusing on siblings Park Seo-jin's boxing diet challenge and Ji Sang-ryeol's marriage project.

In the episode aired on the 14th, special guest Nayoung from fromis_9 appeared and responded to the title of "the idol most disliked by plastic surgeons" by saying, "Because I don't get any plastic surgery or procedures at all." Park Seo-jin expressed surprise, asking, "Are you really 'all natural'?" and humorously contrasted himself by saying he was "all plastic surgery."

Before starting the full-fledged boxing diet, Park Seo-jin and his sister Hyo-jung took a loyalty class for dieting with their one-day mentors Kim Bo-sung and Kim Yong-myung. Kim Bo-sung emphasized, "Dieting is about loyalty to the promises you make to yourself." Hyo-jung revealed that Park Seo-jin had no dating experience, and Kim Bo-sung and Kim Yong-myung asked, "Have you never been in love even once in 32 years?" Park Seo-jin named actress Park Bo-young and comedian Kim Shin-young as his ideal types, while Hyo-jung mentioned actors Lee Do-hyun and Park Bo-gum.

In the studio, Ji Sang-ryeol shared an anecdote about Park Bo-gum. He said, "While everyone was waiting to take pictures with Park Bo-gum, he came up to me first and asked, 'Can I take a picture with you, hyung?'" highlighting Park Bo-gum's thoughtfulness. Kim Bo-sung also praised Park Bo-gum's character and revealed, "I think I'll be working on a movie with Park Bo-gum this time." Park Seo-jin encouraged Hyo-jung's determination to diet by saying, "If you lose weight, ask him to let you meet once."

Kim Yong-myung confirmed a rumor with Kim Bo-sung about a past fight where he was outnumbered 13 to 1. Kim Bo-sung admitted, "I was someone who used my fists in the organization. There were many fights where I was outnumbered." He also shared a story about getting hit in the face while spinning nunchaku and needing 25 stitches.

The Park Seo-jin siblings warmed up with jump rope; Hyo-jung showed a stable posture, but Park Seo-jin revealed a lack of stamina. Kim Bo-sung joked, "Seo-jin shouldn't fight. He'll definitely get hit." In the following sparring match, Park Seo-jin was hit repeatedly at first but managed to land effective hits and performed well. Hyo-jung counterattacked with powerful punches, leading to a brawl, and Park Seo-jin surrendered, resulting in Hyo-jung's victory.

The second round was conducted as a "verbal sparring." Park Seo-jin nagged, but Hyo-jung delivered a strong blow, saying, "Honestly, without me, there's no screen time, right?" Park Seo-jin acknowledged that Hyo-jung appeared in 87 out of his 101 episodes and could not retaliate. Quoting Eun Ji-won, Hyo-jung attacked, saying, "If it weren't for me, do you think oppa could have become a regular on 'Salimnam'?" knocking Park Seo-jin down. Kim Yong-myung and Ji Sang-ryeol pointed out Park Seo-jin's complete defeat, and Kim Bo-sung concluded, "Seo-jin lost with the heart of an older brother." The siblings hugged and ended the sparring.

In Ji Sang-ryeol's daily life, Sechs Kies' Eun Ji-won and H.O.T.'s Moon Hee-joon appeared to support his marriage project. Eun Ji-won told Moon Hee-joon, "When he first said he was getting married, I thought he was going to make a fool of himself," and Moon Hee-joon acknowledged positive changes after marriage. Eun Ji-won answered about plans for children, saying, "There is a deadline."

Eun Ji-won expressed concern that Ji Sang-ryeol, who is 57 this year, is still single, saying, "At this rate, he might end up a lonely elderly person." The two visited Kim Jang-hoon, who is 64 and single, to motivate Ji Sang-ryeol. Kim Jang-hoon appeared in a flashy all-white outfit and showed his neat home. He boasted, "Because I don't have a wife, I can live like this. My monthly rent is 5 million won." Moon Hee-joon tried to portray Kim Jang-hoon as a lonely elderly man, but Kim Jang-hoon pulled out bundles of cash and said, "Seeing money makes loneliness disappear, so it's not yet time to get married." He added, "My last love was over 20 years ago."

After seeing Kim Jang-hoon's single life, Ji Sang-ryeol said, "The path of a lonely elderly person is not my path," and solidified his decision to marry. Kim Jang-hoon served 'cola boiled pork' and had an honest conversation about married life. Moon Hee-joon said he doesn't feel lonely after marriage, but Kim Jang-hoon countered, "That's not loneliness, it's boredom." Moon Hee-joon complained about the difficulty of parenting at 64.

Kim Jang-hoon prepared banquet noodles to support Ji Sang-ryeol's marriage. He said he looked up stories about Ji Sang-ryeol and Shin Bo-ram and added, "I hope you go, at least." Moon Hee-joon asked Shin Bo-ram about her thoughts on marriage, and she replied, "The older brother should talk about marriage first, then we can discuss it." In the studio, Shin Bo-ram was also evaluated as interested in marriage.

Kim Jang-hoon emphasized, "You have to catch her no matter what. If not this time, there won't be another chance." Ji Sang-ryeol said, "I was watching the timing. I thought I should show my feelings. Bo-ram knows my style, so she was waiting too." Kim Jang-hoon added, "I hope Ji Sang-ryeol is happy enough for both of us."

This episode conveyed sincere stories of men through Park Seo-jin siblings' boxing diet and Ji Sang-ryeol's marriage project. The nationwide viewership rating recorded 5.6%, peaking at 6.6%.
