My first insect collecting challenge! My grandchildren’s rural experience

Inje-gun, Gangwon-do Special Self-Governing Province, is where the Indonesian grandchildren’s great-grandmother, Choi Pil-bun (84 years old), lives, and it is a place filled with memories for the entire family. When the great-grandmother heard that her granddaughter-in-law and great-grandchildren had come from Indonesia after two years, she came out barefoot to greet them and warmly welcomed them with a big hug. That is how the family’s two-day, one-night rural experience began. While mother Shanas spent time with great-grandmother, the siblings enjoyed nature on the path their father walked with his grandfather when they were young. Then, the grandchildren followed their grandfather, who is an expert at catching insects, and set out to collect insects themselves. Will the siblings succeed in catching insects for the first time in their lives? Let’s take a look into the Indonesian grandchildren’s rural experience.

A healthy country meal full of great-grandmother’s cooking

Mom Shanas has one mission from her dad. It is to learn her great-grandmother’s recipe for side dishes. Mom takes the lead herself for her husband who has always missed the taste of her great-grandmother’s cooking. She starts cooking by boiling the vegetables she picked from the garden with her great-grandmother. Mom is faced with a challenge with the feast of unfamiliar ingredients such as kelp, anchovies, and deopori (bandeng). Will she be able to pass on her great-grandmother’s side dish recipe to her husband? She presents her great-grandmother’s recipe that no one can imitate.
A sumptuous feast made with great-grandmother’s side dishes and grandfather’s grilled meat. It captivated not only the grandchildren’s tastes but also the taste of Ms. Shanas. This gathering of four generations was a special moment for great-grandmother. Ms. Shanas promised to meet her great-grandmother again, happily watching her great-grandchildren eat. They shared a warm meal that reminded them of the simple meals of the countryside and family affection.

A letter from Indonesia that made my grandmother cry
Goodbye, my grandchildren, looking forward to seeing you again

The time of farewell has come. From nutritional supplements for their soccer player son to herbal medicine for their grandchildren, the grandparents are only worried about their family’s health until the end. While they are busy preparing one more thing to send, the mother, Shanas, suddenly leaves. She takes out a small letter from the luggage she brought from Indonesia and hands it to the grandmother. It is a letter written by her son, Yujun. As she reads the heartfelt words of her son, the grandmother soon bursts into tears. What will the last moments of the Korean grandparents and their Indonesian grandchildren look like?

The global grandparent empathy reality show EBS’s ‘Korean outing of Indonesian soccer hopefuls’ will air on EBS 1TV at 9:55 PM on Wednesday, September 11, and can be viewed again on the EBS homepage.
