Yu Jun Sang serves up as the happiest Master in the House.

As the four butlers from Master In the House awaits for their next master, little did they expect their new Master is a show-man. His daily schedule is packed with activities including dancing, singing, practising, music instruments, jazz, ballet, art, drawing, boxing...etc. Everything you named it! They were instructed to change to tight fitting tops and leotards as what ballet dancers would wear. They felt so embarrassed but nonetheless received an important hint from Miss A's Suzy who tells them the Master is an inspirational person to her. The Master has even walked on the red carpet in Cannes Film Festival.

Some guessed who the identity and some looked confused. They were brought to a warehouse they heard people singing away and their new Master is no other than actor/musical singer Yu Jun Sang. He has appeared in numerous hit dramas and movie flicks. Now he is concentrating hard on his musical career. On the spot, he tested the butlers on their singing skills. Sung Jae found himself immersed in musical while Seung Gi and Se Hyung were just cracking up. Sang Yun the awkward duckling is lost at words and didn't know how to sing. Jun Sang brought them to his lovely big home where they met his wife actress Hong Eun Hee. Their age gap is pretty big still they are a happy couple. Jun Sang literally has a man cave his basement where he has tons of music instruments to art calligraphy. The four butlers were given assignment to draw and write whatever they have reflected in their lives. It turns out Sung Jae is rather poetic and talented. Next assignment is preparing the 10th year anniversary friendship party for Jun Sang's fellow musical friends- Uhm Ki Joon, Min Kyeong Gi and Kim Bup Rae. Fans named them as UmYuMinBup club. So butlers named themselves as SangSeungHyungJae using their own first or second names.The event was prepared within 24 hours in a rush whereby Seung Gi and Sang Yun accompanied Jun Sang practising his scripts until 3.00 am. Sung Jae and Se Hyung tucked in to sleep early with sweet dreams. The next day they arrived at Chung Am Art Hall whereby 10 years ago, the four friends performed together in the musical stage of Three Musketeers. Until today they remained as good and close friends. Sang Yun's role is a waiter serving drinks, Sung Jae escorts the VIP and also a photographer while Seung Gi and Se Hyung are the emcees. One by one turned up with Min and Kim laughing away knowing the reaction from their crankiest member Ki Joon. Though Ki Joon is the youngest, but he can be negative but puts his best when he does things.

The butlers tensed up wondering how Ki Joon will react upon seeing this laid out. Indeed he was flustered and kept laughing away. They predicted right- the first thing he ever said was 'What is all this?' while laughing away in embarrassment. He even pointed out Jun Sang has calculated wrongly as it's only their 9th year together...not 10th! Aah... the two emcees were surprised. Asked how were they feeling, the three just laughed out of embarrassment. Even with Jun Sang's teary message to his friends, Seung Gi pointed out none of his members even shed a tear, instead they just shook their heads. It's Jun Sang who is the over emotional one. Hah! 

The friends were expecting some special performance from girl group or so. Ki Joon hoped Suzy will come while Min pronounced wrongly Blackbank instead of Blackpink! 

However the lucky draw special performances were actually all the same- it's 3 Musketeers theme song 'We are One'. But the veteran singers gave their best to perform in front of all.

Next is game time- sound decibel for each team. The higher the decibel sound the team wins. Both tie for the first round so second game is drinking Sumac tea. Oh-oh!

Go-Sam cha is bitter enough to drive one insane...however Sumac is certainly an upgraded version. Sung Jae brought out two bowls of Sumac tea with some drinking hose! They laughed thinking where the straws have been! Ki Joon tested and his whole expression was shocked with how bitter the tea was! Butler team smirked because they have Sang Yun who is Mr. No Pain as he can easily chew through lemons and drink bitter tea like water! The veterans were just lost wondering why on earth are they drinking bitter tea and doing funny things with the younger generation. 

But nothing can stop the 10 year friendship of 4 friends who drank the tea so fast winning over Butler team. Seung Gi and Sung Jae hardly sipped it while Sang Yun was nice enough to drink a fair bit of it. 

As they celebrate their 10th...oops...I mean 9th year anniversary, the butlers also celebrated their 200 days together in this program. Wow! Time really flies.

The average age between the four friends were like 47 with Jun Sang being the oldest hyung among all but Ki Joon holds the power between them. 

And this show makes me wonder and reflect how many true friends we have in life that we have stayed sincere together through thick and thin. In life, we don't have that many great friends but wouldn't it be lovely to have such wonderful people to support and love you to the end?
