Global grandson empathy reality program EBS. This time, we are going to Indonesia. Indonesia, a representative resort in Southeast Asia where a thousand natures and various civilizations come together! Java Island, the most populated of the 17,000 islands that make up Indonesia. Today’s grandchildren live in Surabaya, a port city located in the eastern part of Java Island.
The eldest daughter, Lee Ji-yu (6 years old), who wants to be a pretty and elegant princess, but has a heavy burden on her shoulders as the eldest daughter. And the youngest daughter, Lee Ji-hoon (3 years old), who is a cute mischievous boy who is always eyeing his sister’s toys. We take a look into the daily life of the two siblings who never have a quiet day and the Indonesian soccer family that bounces like a soccer ball.

The pride of the family is, of course, their Indonesian soccer player dad! Dad Lee Yu-jun (35 years old) is an active player for the Indonesian professional soccer team Persela Lamongan. How did the dad, who even studied soccer in Brazil, end up raising a family in Indonesia?
In 2016, Shanas Lee (34 years old), a mother studying in graduate school, accidentally found a photo of Yujun on SNS and fell in love at first sight. However, Yujun’s SNS was full of photos of him with his child, and she was about to give up thinking that he was a married man with a son! Shanas’ attitude changed 180 degrees when she saw a hashtag that caught her eye. The two became lovers thanks to Shanas, who actively contacted them. What on earth made Shanas change his steps? We introduce the special story of the couple’s first meeting.
Indonesia’s moving chaos is not easy at all
Finally arrived at the new house! But the water isn’t coming out?!
Today is the moving day of the Indonesian family! The siblings are excited as their mom and dad are busy preparing for the move early in the morning. However, the moving company does not show up even after the promised time has passed. Mom’s expression becomes darker and darker. Whether or not they know Mom’s feelings, Dad and the siblings are just cheerful and time passes by without warning! Let’s follow the unpredictable moving day of the Indonesian family.
After many twists and turns, they finally arrive at their new home. The family’s expectations start to grow with the larger living room and a room just for the kids. On the moving day, the family eats delicious Korean-style Jajangmyeon and spurs on the packing. And that evening, when the sun sets and they’re about to wrap up the long moving day! The family faces another problem with the youngest, Ji-hoon’s cry, “The water isn’t coming out!” Will they be able to complete the move safely?

‘I can’t let Dad go even if I die!’ Raising the independence of siblings
A different way to school from a new house. Dad, who arrived at the siblings’ school, doesn’t say goodbye to the kids and go back, but instead goes back into the school? That’s because today is the day that Dad, Yu-jun, has a special class. The children’s reaction to the explanation at eye level from Yu-jun, an active Indonesian soccer player, is explosive. The class ends successfully. The youngest, Ji-hoon, has a gloomy face. He clings to his dad, who says he’s going home first, and ends up crying. Mom and Dad are perplexed by Ji-hoon’s appearance. Will Ji-hoon be able to adapt to school without his dad?
In the end, the mission given to the siblings that evening. Starting today, they will sleep alone, away from their mom and dad! Ji-yu, who is still unfamiliar with sleeping alone, whines in fear. However, today, mom and dad are firm. The siblings have no choice but to close their eyes and try to sleep. At that moment, a mysterious sound is heard outside the room! The siblings end up getting up from their beds at the sound of an unknown thumping sound. Will Ji-yu and Ji-hoon be able to fall asleep safely? We watch the siblings’ first independent sleep period in their lives.
Housewarming in Indonesia, ‘Sukuran Buruma Baru’
Are all my mom’s friends fluent in Korean? Who are they?
What does a housewarming in Indonesia look like? Today is the housewarming day for a family moving house. The new house is soon bustling with guests who greet each other warmly as if they are familiar. The first thing they see is the new house and waiting for a meal together, which doesn’t seem that different from Korea. However, the unfamiliar food on the table is ‘Nasi Kuning’, a dish that symbolizes good luck. We introduce the Indonesian housewarming culture of inviting guests and eating the lucky dish together and praying for good luck to come to the new house.
Moms and friends sharing food and asking about recent events. But they all show off their amazing Korean skills? On top of that, their husbands are from Seoul, Busan, Tongyeong, and Miryang, all familiar places. In fact, another name for today’s gathering is ‘Gathering of Indonesian Wives with Korean Husbands’. Naturally, the conversation starts to turn to Korea. Favorite Korean food, experiences with unfamiliar Korean culture… and Korean men? Yujun is on the defensive as Indonesian moms expose Korean men. Will this gathering be okay?
An enchanting landscape at the end of a difficult journey! Indonesia’s active volcano ‘Bromo’
Wishing your family a new beginning! What is your family’s wish while watching the sunrise?
One day, just before their trip to Korea, a family starts moving early in the morning. Where on earth are they going? The mountain road they are driving on in a jeep becomes more and more rugged. After getting out of the car and climbing a long series of steep stairs, they arrive at this place. It is the active volcano Bromo, where the god of fire lives. It is a highland area with a chilly temperature of around 10 degrees Celsius in Indonesia, with an average temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, and it boasts an altitude of 2,392 meters. The family came here early to see the sunrise. After waiting, the dazzling sun rose, and the family made a wish while looking at the enchanting scenery. The Indonesian family of four is suddenly more affectionate about their upcoming trip to Korea without their father. What stories are contained in the family’s wishes?
