'Love on the Menu' Bae Jung-nam visits Park Yoo-na's husband's hospital room, claiming to be a relative of Gyu-young

In the broadcast video of KBS Drama 'Love on the Menu' released on September 13, 2026, a situation is depicted where Bae Jung-nam visits the hospital room of Park Yoo-na's husband. In the provided video audio transcription, a swollen face and temporary teeth in the hospital room are mentioned, and a conversation takes place where Bae Jung-nam expresses his apologies, stating that violence is never acceptable regardless of the situation. However, the other party responded by asking him to leave, saying they do not want to talk right now. Bae Jung-nam's visit led to an uncomfortable atmosphere as his intention to apologize clashed with the reaction inside the hospital room, which refused to accept it.

A limited edition watch triggers hospital room conversation

A limited edition watch also appeared as a major subject in the hospital room conversation. Bae Jung-nam mentioned the limited edition that the other party had wanted and said he had sent the warranty via message. The other party confirmed whether it was true that only three of those watches had entered the country, and Bae Jung-nam replied that it was correct. Later, when Gyu-young entered the hospital room and questioned why someone was let in so carelessly, words were exchanged inside the room to the effect that they let him in because he said he would give them the watch. As Bae Jung-nam's position of coming to apologize met with the reactions surrounding the watch, the conversation did not remain a simple apology scene.

Claiming not to be a stranger to Gyu-young

The focus of the conversation soon shifted to the relationship between Gyu-young and Bae Jung-nam. When a question was raised regarding what his relationship was with Gyu-young inside the room, Bae Jung-nam explained that he also found it strange and looked into it. He mentioned a complex blood relationship, suggesting that Gyu-young is a distant relative connected through his father's side, and claimed that he and Gyu-young are not strangers. This statement continued even after Gyu-young entered the room. Bae Jung-nam told Gyu-young that they are indeed relatives, calling himself a distant relative Oppa, and showed an attitude suggesting she should call him Oppa from now on.

Gyu-young's firm refusal

Gyu-young did not accept Bae Jung-nam's claim. She countered with the implication that she never had such an Oppa and demanded him to leave immediately, stating that the person in the hospital room absolutely needs stability. Bae Jung-nam retreated from this but said that since he came to apologize, he would only apologize and leave. He also left words to the effect of telling her to live properly since such things could happen in the future. The released materials show that Bae Jung-nam's hospital visit led to an apology for violence, a conversation about a limited edition watch, a claim of being a distant relative of Gyu-young, and Gyu-young's refusal.
