A sudden farewell to his great-grandfather… The Turkish grandson hurriedly boarded a plane to Korea
Turkey Kocaeli → Gyeonggi Ansan Daebudo, 10-hour journey to meet grandparents
Global grandparent empathy reality program EBS. On the episode titled ‘Turkish ‘Vegetarian Fairy’ Aishesu’ that aired on Wednesday the 17th, the appearance of a Korean♥Turkish grandchild who pursues vegetarianism with her own firm philosophy despite being only six years old was revealed. The main character is Aishesu (6 years old), who lives in ‘Kocaeli’, a port city that is an hour and a half drive from Istanbul, the capital of Turkey.
Not only does she have a unique food philosophy, she also shows off her ‘lover’ side by showing endless affection to people and animals alike, which drew cute exclamations from many viewers. Furthermore, she showed a unique relationship with her Korean grandfather that was ‘close but not so close’, drawing even more attention to her Turkish grandson’s trip to Korea.
However, the day before the Korean♥Turkish international family was to board the plane to Korea, they received unexpected sad news. Korean mother Im Su-jeong (33 years old)’s grandfather (Aishesu’s great-grandfather) passed away. Su-jeong, who was planning to show Aishesu and her second great-grandchild Noah (7 months old) on this trip to Korea, was in tears because she could not greet her grandfather earlier.
While the funeral is being held in Korea, will the Korean♥Turkish family of four board a plane to Korea and safely make the long 10-hour flight?
Grandmother came out to meet her grandchildren right after the funeral! ‘Recharged with energy’ at the reunion with her grandchildren
Meanwhile, Korean grandmother Jeong Hyeon-suk (56 years old) and grandfather Im Sin-cheol (62 years old) are also doing their best to welcome their two grandchildren Aishesu and Noah from Turkey. As soon as they finish the funeral procedures that took place over three days, they prepare to meet them without any rest. The grandparents, who prepared the balloons and dolls that grandchild Aishesu likes, and the two people dressed up nicely head to Incheon International Airport in a large 32-person camper van.
However, they ran into an unexpected problem: the grandparents had no place to park their camper van. The grandfather kept going around and around until the grandchildren came out of the immigration hall, and eventually the grandmother went inside alone to wait for the grandchildren.
After an endless wait, Aishesu can finally be seen running towards her from afar, shouting “Grandma!” and a smile appears on the grandmother’s face, which had not smiled for the past three days. Following this, the grandfather, who had been waiting for his grandchildren to appear outside the immigration office, is finally reunited with them. The grandfather is not interested in his daughter or son-in-law and only cares about his first grandchild, Aishesu! The grandson-grandchild relationship, which was awkward for a while, soon becomes close thanks to the Elsa doll that the grandfather gave him as a gift.
A Turkish grandson and his Korean grandfather have different dreams. A six-year-old grandson who ran away on the mud flats?
Grandfather Im Sin-cheol, who decided to “become close to his eldest grandson, Aishesu” on the occasion of his grandchildren’s visit this time. It’s understandable, because Aishesu usually didn’t open up to his grandfather who played pranks. Seeing his grandson only looking at his grandmother and not his grandfather, the grandfather felt a sense of crisis and began the ‘Getting Close to His Grandchild Project’ with thorough plans.
While Grandmother is out working, Grandfather takes Aishesu and his Turkish son-in-law, Klić Onur (32 years old), on an outing. The outing location is the clean Daebudo mudflats, where clams and other things are strewn everywhere! The three generations board the ‘mudflat bus’ (a tractor converted to act like a bus) that carries people to the middle of the mudflats, and finally challenge themselves to their first mudflat experience.
Aishesu was full of laughter at the unfamiliar mudflat experience. At the moment when her grandfather’s plan seemed to be successful, Aishesu suddenly screams. Eventually, she calls her mother, Soo-jeong, who showed up late, and leaves the mudflat, leaving her grandfather and father behind. Grandfather and father Turkiye were left alone in the empty mudflat. Why was Aishesu surprised?
‘I want to see my Korean kindergarten friends’ Special event for grandparents in Turkey for their grandchildren
Meanwhile, during the filming period, the grandparents made a secret plan for their grandchild Aishesu, who was celebrating her sixth birthday. They planned to throw a surprise birthday party for Aishesu with her kindergarten friends from when she was living in Korea! Aishesu, who had always missed her Korean friends since she returned to Turkey, spent the weekend without even knowing about her grandparents’ plan.
While Grandmother Jeong Hyeon-suk goes out with Aisha, Grandfather Im Sin-cheol quickly begins decorating the house. Dad and Mom also lend a helping hand to Grandfather’s sincerity. Soon, a birthday party venue that is as good as any party room is completed.
Aisha Su returns home without noticing anything. She is puzzled by the commotion coming from outside the front door. Only after entering the house does Aisha Su encounter happy faces! Will she be able to enjoy the surprise birthday party prepared by her grandparents?
Two grandchildren who returned to Turkey “Goodbye, my grandchildren Aishesu and Noah”
Time with grandchildren flew by. The grandparents can’t hide their regrets about their two grandchildren who have to return to Turkey in a hurry because of their father and mother’s jobs. In particular, grandfather Im Sin-cheol, who has become much closer to his eldest grandchild, Aishesu, continues to express his affection for his grandchildren by saying, “Let’s live together in Korea.”
Nevertheless, the time of farewell has come. Grandfather and grandmother try hard to hold back their tears and say their final goodbyes to their grandchildren and daughter and her husband. The moment of farewell is all the more heartbreaking because they cannot expect to meet again. How will the story of the Turkish grandchildren and grandparents end?
The global grandparent empathy reality show EBS ‘Making Grandfather’s Memories for His Grandchildren in Turkey’ will air on EBS 1TV on Wednesday, July 24th at 9:55 PM.
