The grandson who grew up so fast from three to six years old returned
Finally arrived at the house of the grandparents in Gimpo. Every corner of the house is filled with memories of Adi when he was young. It is no wonder that the grandparents took care of Adi in place of their busy parents. They said that their hearts were empty after their grandson, who had always been by their side for three years, left for Bulgaria. The gifts they bought one by one whenever they missed their grandson have now filled up one side of the room! What will be the grandson’s reaction when he sees the gifts?
Dinner is late because we are opening presents. Grandma and Grandpa rolled up their sleeves for their hungry daughter and grandson. From sweet bulgogi to grilled flounder, japchae, and kimchi stew! A table that will break your legs. Among them, the grilled flounder was specially prepared because it was Adi’s favorite dish when he was three years old. But the grandson’s expression after tasting the grilled flounder is unusual?! He even declared that he would not eat the grilled flounder! Grandma and Grandpa couldn’t hide their bewildered expressions. We meet the grandson’s daily life that is full of ups and downs as he grows taller and his taste buds change in three years.
Grandmother’s Hanji Craft Shop, Bulgarian Grandson Becomes Daily Salesperson
The first morning spent alone with grandparents and without mom. Grandmother, who runs a store, is getting ready for work, and Mom, who has visited Korea for the first time in a long time, is busy preparing to go out with a friend. After Grandmother and Mom go out, Adi and Grandpa are left alone. There is an awkward atmosphere flowing between the two men for some reason?! Grandpa hurriedly goes out with Adi to break the awkwardness. After about an hour of driving, he arrives at an underground shopping center in Myeongdong, Seoul. It is considered a must-see for foreign tourists because you can buy various Korean souvenirs in one place.
Here, Adi’s grandmother, Lee Jeong-yeol, has also been running a hanji craft store for 20 years. The grandmother was surprised by her grandson’s surprise visit. She said that since Adi had often visited the store with his grandmother since he was one year old, her grandson’s visit at the age of six made her feel even more emotional. Meanwhile, six-year-old Adi transformed into a one-day salesperson for her grandmother’s store?! A foreign customer visited her grandmother’s store. He was interested in a wine rack with traditional Korean patterns engraved on it. Despite the grandmother’s experienced explanation, the customer continued to worry, but Adi, who had been watching her sales closely, surprised the grandmother by pointing to ‘this’ and saying, “Grandma, show me this!” What was Adi’s action that led to the customer’s purchase?
Bulgarian grandson, ‘2nd year white belt’, promoted from perennial white belt to yellow belt!
In the afternoon after a successful business at Grandma’s store, Grandma and Grandpa prepared a special place for Adi. This place where you can hear loud cheers is a Taekwondo studio. Adi has been learning Taekwondo for two years in Bulgaria. He was so serious about Taekwondo that he wore a uniform alone at the Bulgarian Taekwondo studio, which was operated like a playroom. However, despite his enthusiasm, he could not get out of the white belt for two years. Grandma and Grandpa stepped up for him. They prepared for him to learn Taekwondo in Korea, the origin of Taekwondo.
But today, when he happened to visit, was the day of the promotion test?! Adi was flustered for a moment, but he couldn’t miss the golden opportunity to be promoted from white belt to yellow belt. He diligently learned the form, and when the instructor told him to put in his spirit, he honestly shouted “Ki.hap!” and chose a different direction for his arms and legs, which surprised the instructor. However, Adi soon got into shape. He even showed his passion for taekwondo by competing against a red belt friend. After all the classes were over, all that was left was the promotion test results. Adi just watched his friends’ promotion news, but when his name was finally called, he couldn’t hide his joy. It was also a touching moment for the grandparents who watched it. Let’s meet the Bulgarian taekwondo boy Adi’s unstoppable love for taekwondo.
Bulgarian Kids Model Grandson! Takes on the Walking Challenge
A grand unveiling of the walking stage with the current model mom!
The next day, Adi, his mom, and his grandfather headed somewhere together. The place they arrived at was a children’s clothing store filled with various clothes and accessories. They visited to buy new clothes for Adi, who is interested in fashion enough to coordinate his own clothes in Bulgaria. The picky model grandson’s full-fledged shopping began, and what clothes did Adi choose after careful consideration? Today, too, the grandfather coolly paid for Adi’s gift. There was a special reason why the grandfather bought Adi new clothes today. It was because today was the day Adi took on a new challenge. The place they arrived at was a model academy that produces talented models through professional education. It was a special course prepared by his mom, Soojin, who is also a senior model, in the hopes that it would be helpful to Adi, who dreams of becoming a model like her. This is Adi’s first time learning model walking formally. We will reveal the scene of the walking class with her mom, who is a current model.
A friendly, Bulgarian popular grandson’s valley outing
My grandchild who grows differently every day, goodbye and looking forward to the day we meet again
Where did all three generations head together the next day? A valley in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-do. It was a vacation spot prepared by the grandparents who remembered their grandson’s words that he wanted to play in the water when he came to Korea. A valley full of loaches that only live in clear water. However, the fast loaches were not easy to catch. Adi, who wanted to catch fish, noticed his older sister catching fish with a net. Adi approached his older sister, whom he had never seen before, and spoke to her without hesitation, and before long, he naturally sat down next to her and caught fish together. After a while, he even borrowed a fishing pole from somewhere, showing off his friendliness.
Meanwhile, the mother and daughter are having some alone time together after a long time, watching Adi play. Daughter Sujin takes out the words she had kept in her heart. At the late age of 44, after three rounds of IVF, she miraculously met her son Adi. She expressed her regret and gratitude toward her mother who gave birth to and raised her at a younger age. Also, the grandmother shed tears as she talked about the days she spent up all night worrying about Adi and her daughter who left for Bulgaria three years ago. This conversation between mother and daughter is expected to evoke sympathy from mothers and daughters.
After playing in the water, the family came to eat a summer tonic, boiled chicken. While eating boiled chicken, Adi said, “Eating alone is not good, but it tastes better when you eat it with your family,” and suggested that they come to Bulgaria to eat together, which touched the grandparents. Before they knew it, Adi had grown up so much. The grandparents, who had to say goodbye to their grandchild again, look forward to the day they will meet Adi again.
The global grandchild empathy reality show, ‘The Bulgarian grandchild who grew up so quickly and adapted to Korea’ will air on EBS 1TV at 9:55 PM on Wednesday, August 7th.
