Global grandparent empathy reality program EBS. This time, we will go to ‘Bulgaria’, a beautiful country in Eastern Europe bordering the Black Sea. Bulgaria, located on the eastern side of the Balkan Peninsula in Europe, is better known to us as a country of longevity. In particular, Sofia, the capital and largest city of Bulgaria, is a place where deep history and culture are alive and breathing. The visual family of all time has appeared, turning the city of Sofia into a runway in an instant?! The Bulgarian father Philip (44 years old), who boasts a warm appearance that rivals models, the Korean mother Lee Soo-jin (44 years old), who is currently working as a Bulgarian model, and the child model Adrian (6 years old) who inherited the DNA of his model mother. Let’s meet the unique daily life of the Bulgarian family.
– Chef-turned-father X Active-model mother X Kid-model grandson
– A morning full of personality from the Visual Family
A peaceful Bulgarian morning. The first thing Adrian does when he opens his eyes is to choose his OOTD for the day. Six-year-old Adrian coordinates his own clothes every morning. His closet, organized by taste with bags, T-shirts, and pants, is said to be the envy of any clothing store. He even has his own sunglasses collection! What kind of coordination will Adrian, his grandson with a unique fashion sense, complete?
Meanwhile, father Philip shows off his extraordinary knife skills in the kitchen. Philip, who is about to open a used car dealership, is a chef with 15 years of experience. Currently, Philip, the family’s dedicated chef, presents a breakfast menu called ‘Tarator’, a Bulgarian summer tonic dish. It is a cold yogurt soup made with finely chopped cucumbers, various vegetables, herbs, etc., in yogurt, which is a must-have in Bulgaria. While the delicious breakfast is being prepared, model mother Lee Soo-jin (50) is busy in front of the mirror. As expected from an active model, she shows off her unique skin care routine. The skin care method of the mother, who is 50 years old, is revealed. In addition, Soo-jin’s transformation from an ordinary mother to a professional model with makeup skills that rival those of a professional is expected to capture the attention of viewers. Let’s meet the unique morning of the Bulgarian visual family.
– Bulgarian man ♡ Korean woman, what is the love story of a couple with an older man and a younger woman?
– The unique scenery of Bulgaria, the country of longevity, a medicinal spring in the city center
A family eating breakfast with tarator made with care by chef father Philip. However, honey drips from Philip’s eyes as he looks at his mother, Sujin, who is eating breakfast. How did Philip, who still thinks his wife is the prettiest, and model Sujin meet? The two met for the first time in Korea in 2007. Sujin, who was working at a wine import company, happened to visit a Korean restaurant while on business and Philip was working as the owner chef. The moment Sujin opened the door to the restaurant and walked in, she felt that they were destined to be together. At the time, she told a fellow chef, “I think I’m going to marry that woman!” However, Sujin pushed Philip away because of their 6-year age difference. Philip’s active expression of his feelings gradually opened her heart, and the two became a couple as if they were joking when they first met. An unexpected ordeal came to the two who were enjoying a happy time. Sujin was diagnosed with infertility. The two had to endure the pain and wait to become parents. I am living a very happy life thanks to Adrian, whom I met miraculously on my third attempt at in vitro fertilization.
Where did the family head after breakfast? A 15-minute drive away, in downtown Sofia. It is a mineral spring that all Sofia citizens can use. It is said that mineral spring water gushes out 365 days a year in the middle of the city. We will reveal a unique landscape that can only be seen in Bulgaria.

– Mom who has been living in Bulgaria for 3 years and feels the difficulties due to the language barrier
– Mom’s special Bulgarian teacher, special tutoring for 6-year-old son!
Today is the day of mom Sujin’s special class. The identity of the teacher that Sujin is desperately calling is none other than her 6-year-old son Adrian?! What could this be? The family gave birth to and raised Adrian in Korea and moved to Bulgaria 3 years ago. Because of that, Bulgaria is still unfamiliar to mom. On the other hand, Adrian conquered Bulgarian in just 6 months of living in Bulgaria! He has taken it upon himself to be mom’s special Bulgarian teacher. Mom Sujin has been living in Bulgaria for 3 years. She has an outgoing and positive personality, but she says she often feels small due to the language barrier. So why did they move to Bulgaria? The couple wanted to give Adrian, who was born and raised in Korea, a wider range of new experiences. So mom is still trying to adapt to Bulgaria today.
At the same time, on the other side of the globe, in Korea, there is someone who is studying Bulgarian?! They are Adrian’s grandmother Lee Jeong-yeol and grandfather Lee Sun-hwan. They started studying Bulgarian to communicate with their grandson. Adrian, who grew up in Korea until he was 3 years old, said that he missed his grandson even more when he left for Bulgaria because he watched him grow up every single day without missing a single moment. The grandparents are trying to console their longing through video calls. They are counting the days until they can meet their grandson.

It is to help Adrian, who is growing up, develop independence. While the mission is being smoothly delivered, father Philip’s expression is unusual. The father is worried about Adrian running errands alone, and the mother thinks he should experience and challenge himself. The father eventually accepts the mission due to Adrian’s adorable behavior while watching. The shopping mission begins after many twists and turns! Will Adi’s mission be successful amidst the crowd and items? However, while Adrian is running errands, a familiar silhouette is secretly following him. It’s the mother and father?!

Here, where an unusual cheering sound is heard. This is the Taekwondo gym that Adrian has been attending for two years. First, the adults’ older brothers and sisters’ powerful Taekwondo performance begins. Adrian looks on with eyes full of admiration. Next, it’s the kindergarten class that Adrian attends! Unlike his peers who enjoy Taekwondo freely at the Bulgarian Taekwondo gym that is run like a playroom, Adrian is so serious about Taekwondo that he even wears a Dobok. However, his skills are quite different from his energetic cheering sound. Adrian keeps kicking the air. It turns out that, despite his overflowing passion, Adrian has only been a white belt for two years. The Taekwondo instructor advises him to practice Taekwondo hard even when he goes to Korea… Will Adrian be able to get the yellow belt he so desperately wants?
Finally, the day to go to Korea after 3 years. After a tearful farewell to his father who cannot go with him due to work, Adrian heads to Korea with his mother. After running a long way, he finally meets his grandparents. When they see their grandchild, they give him a big hug to express how much they missed him. They also give him a gift with a special message that they prepared for him. What will happen next when they meet their grandchild, whom they have been waiting for so long?
