Bae Jung-nam's brick-hauling wedding fund rattles Love on the Menu

"There is no high or low in professions," Bae Jung-nam reveals the source of his money

In the September 12, 2026, broadcast of the KBS drama Love on the Menu, a playful bickering match between Bae Jung-nam and his mother over marriage expenses and a camera was depicted.

During this broadcast, Bae Jung-nam revealed that he had already prepared the costs, including wedding expenses and penalties for the honeymoon. When his mother asked where he got so much money, Bae Jung-nam replied, "It is money I saved by not wearing and not using [things]." He mentioned various jobs, ranging from designated driving to parcel delivery, carrying bricks, catching shrimp, and work related to eggplants, sharing the process of how he worked diligently without discriminating against any task.

Mother's scolding and the camera commotion in the drawer

Despite Bae Jung-nam's sincere attitude, his mother's reaction was firm. According to the subtitles, the mother scolded him, saying he had blown away money earned like blood, to which Bae Jung-nam retorted that since he had settled the accounts with her, she should no longer pass on the words of shamans or fairies.

The conversation continued with a camera found in the corner of Bae Jung-nam's room drawer. The mother made a comment to the effect that she had broken the camera that was in the corner of the drawer, and while Bae Jung-nam initially reacted as if she had done well, he became flustered, asking why the camera was there in the first place.

The mother continued her joking reprimand, reminding him that she had warned him not to go near the camera and jokingly claiming she wouldn't even eat curry because she hated the word "camera" being included. She then left a strong warning that if he went near the camera again, she would remove him from the family registry, and the situation concluded with Bae Jung-nam maintaining a reaction of not knowing until the end.
