Ahn Jae-hyun Lights Up the Grill and Hearts on ‘I Live Alone’

Ahn Jae-hyun, the stylish actor known for his quirky charm, is turning up the heat—literally and emotionally—on the latest episode of MBC’s hit reality show I Live Alone. Airing on June 9 at 11:10 p.m., the episode features Ahn reuniting with his close friends of over 20 years for a feast of Korean premium beef (Hanwoo) and heartfelt memories.

Bringing out an impressive Hanwoo full-course set, Ahn kicks off a sizzling backyard barbecue party complete with rib fingers (Jebichuri), chuck tail flap (Tosalsal), skirt steak (Anchangsal), and top blade (Saewoo-sal). The friends work up an appetite through some old-fashioned manual labor—digging and chopping wood—before diving into the meat feast that appears almost too good to be true.

The banter is as juicy as the steak. From peeling crab legs to feeding Ahn like a beloved son, one of the friends showcases his ‘K-dad’ instincts, prompting a chuckle from Ahn: “No wonder dads are different.” The pure, affectionate gestures draw both laughter and a sense of heartwarming nostalgia.

While the savory dishes fuel their bellies, emotional reflections nourish their hearts. The episode dives deeper into their shared history—from school days to Ahn’s challenging path as an aspiring model. He opens up about a period of distant communication with his friends and delivers heartfelt thanks for their unwavering support during his lowest moments.

As laughter mixes with moments of quiet reflection, Ahn Jae-hyun’s rediscovery of brotherhood makes this episode of I Live Alone not just about meals, but memories. Catch it tonight on MBC for a flavorful blend of friendship, fire, and food.
