On the MBC show 'Choesusan,' comedian Jang Dong-min playfully proposed a future marriage alliance with fellow entertainer Boom, eyeing Boom's daughter as a potential daughter-in-law. The episode features Jang Dong-min, his children Ji-woo and Si-woo, Heo Kyung-hwan's niece Lia, and Boom's eldest daughter Yoon-seo on a hike up Bulamsan Mountain.

As Jang Dong-min carried his son Si-woo and daughter Ji-woo, he took notice of Boom's daughter Yoon-seo, who is the same age as his three-year-old son. This observation sparked a humorous idea in Jang Dong-min's mind to potentially become in-laws with Boom. He directly addressed Yoon-seo, jokingly saying, "Will you be my daughter-in-law? Your father-in-law will give you a lot of inheritance," eliciting laughter from those present.

Will you be my daughter-in-law? Your father-in-law will give you a lot of inheritance.

The show also features unmarried hosts Heo Kyung-hwan and Yang Se-hyung receiving marriage advice from Jang Dong-min and Boom. Heo Kyung-hwan shared his evolving perspective on marriage, stating, "I've let go of a lot. It's about living happily while compromising." He also considered planning for a second child immediately after marriage, given his age.

'Choesusan' is described as a variety show about '1.5-rank' celebrities conquering the entertainment world, airing every Sunday at 6 PM. Jang Dong-min, who married a non-celebrity six years his junior in June 2021, welcomed a daughter the following year and a son in 2024, establishing a large family. Boom married his girlfriend, seven years his junior, in 2022 and welcomed their first daughter, Yoon-seo, in 2024, with a second daughter expected in 2026.
