During the fourth episode of 'Contract Marriage' aired on the 19th, Jeong-hwan expressed an American-style view of family by suggesting he could be a good uncle rather than a stepfather to Yu-jin's child.

The fourth episode of 'Contract Marriage', which aired on KBS Joy and MBC every1 on the 19th, recorded a combined peak viewership rating of 2.0% per minute among paid television households nationwide, according to Nielsen Korea.

Jeong-hwan and Yu-jin woke up the morning after Jeong-hwan had become heavily intoxicated the previous day, with Yu-jin preparing a meal early in the morning.

As Jeong-hwan recalled his actions from the previous day one by one, he carefully watched Yu-jin's reaction, and the two went out to explore the neighborhood wearing couple looks prepared by Yu-jin.

Conversations regarding children and family also took place during the broadcast. Jeong-hwan asked about the childbirth process and, mentioning the burden of childbirth and childcare that women must endure, stated, "My wife doesn't have to give birth to a child if she doesn't want to."

He further shared an American-style view of family, saying, "You can just think of me as a good uncle rather than a new stepfather. Ultimately, it is human to human, and I am a member of the family."
