In the second episode of Channel A’s entertainment program ‘Dad is a Middle-aged Child’, which aired on the 25th, Shin Seong-woo was seen preparing for the entrance ceremony for his eldest son Tae-o, who was just one day before the elementary school entrance ceremony.
Shin Seong-woo prepared snacks for his two sons as usual and then sat down with Tae-o. He then apologized, saying, “I don’t think my dad will be able to go to Teo’s entrance ceremony.” Shin Seong-woo, who has been serving as a university professor for eight years, confessed about not attending his first child’s entrance ceremony, saying, “If I neglect the responsibilities entrusted to me due to personal reasons, I will not be setting an example for my children.” Immediately after, Shin Seong-woo confidently asked Tae-oh, “You can get along well with Mom, right?” and Tae-oh courageously replied, “Yes.”
Shin Seong-woo, who finished the conversation with Tae-o, made Bomdong geotjeori (spicy fish cake) and radish vegetables with red pepper powder in the hope that Tae-o, who cannot eat spicy food, would adapt well to school lunches. At this time, his second son, Hwanjun, who was 20 months old, chewed raw chives, a cooking ingredient, and ate them, making the ‘flower daddies’ burst into laughter. After finishing his meal with dad’s spicy food and boiled pork, Teo walked to school with his dad.
I also bought school supplies at a nearby stationery store and stopped by a snack bar. Shin Seong-woo, who saw an old-fashioned hot dog, was lost in memories and said, “My dad came to Seoul when he was 12 and lived alone. My grandmother told me to study in Seoul…” and remembered her mother who left 500 pieces of briquettes at the tea house. Regarding this, he said, “I couldn’t catch her because her mother had to work for her. After that, she lived alone until she graduated from college.” After hearing this, ‘Flower Daddy’ MC Kim Gu-ra felt sorry and said, “This is unimaginable these days,” and Kim Won-jun also expressed sorrow, saying, “It must have been lonely.”
Shin Seong-woo, lost in memories of those days, visited his alma mater elementary school with his son for the first time in 45 years. He went on to confess his pain at that time, saying, “The day I transferred to school, I greeted my friends in dialect, and they all laughed and made fun of me for being a hillbilly.” He said, “At that time, my mother bought me a radio, and we became friends, so I started doing music.” He added, “My mother is sick and currently in the hospital, and the reason I decided to do this program was because I wanted to show her my grandchildren.” By the end of the conversation, I had tears in my eyes.
Shin Seong-woo returned home and talked with Tae-o while gathering school supplies. At this time, Tae-o gave him a handwritten letter asking him to pass it on to his grandmother. Shin Seong-woo shed tears as he hugged Tae-oh, saying, “Her grandmother would have wanted to go to Teo’s entrance ceremony, so I’m grateful for her consideration.”
Shin Seong-woo said, “I learned a lot from the child in an instant. I thought I had forgotten these things.” The next day, Tae-o attended the entrance ceremony with her mother and called her father in a cheerful voice. Seeing Tae-o’s proud appearance, Kim Won-jun said, “I guess this broadcast is a special for Shin Seong-woo,” and Ahn Jae-wook was moved, saying, “It was even more touching because (the child) didn’t ask him to do it.”
