'I've grown up but I won't go out' rapper Jijo declared his independence.
On the 1st, the MBC every1 MBN program 'I've grown up but I won't go out' featured a special birthday party for rapper Jijo's mother, Lee Soon-woo, to celebrate her 68th birthday.
His father was, as always, a romantic. He prepared a bouquet of beautiful pink flowers from the morning and presented them to his wife with a kiss on the cheek. The father said, 'I gift flowers every time for my wife's birthday. It's a present to make her even prettier, just like these flowers.'
In response, Jijo said, 'It's a bit hard to watch. I can't see it, but it is hard to watch,' showing an unhappy expression about his parents' affectionate relationship. Haha noted, 'If it's hard to watch, you should just leave home,' which made Jijo go quiet.
The father and son set out to create the perfect birthday for their mother. However, it seemed that the mother was not satisfied at all. Unable to endure his mother's nagging, Jijo said, 'Mom, just eat and sleep today, and just speak,' and 'Aren't we trying to make you comfortable? If you stay here, it won't end well. I've made a reservation. Go out for a bit,' pushing his mother toward the salon he had booked. The mother added, 'You must take me to the dermatologist next time,' not forgetting her special request, which brought smiles.
The father prepared tteokbokki and seaweed soup for the mother. However, the ingredients were unique. The seaweed soup was made with wild matsutake mushrooms and the tteokbokki contained shiitake mushrooms.
The father said, 'When Jijo was growing up in his mother's womb, he said he wanted tteokbokki. I once had a delivery of tteokbokki from a street vendor,' and added, 'So I made it for him as a reminder of our newlywed days,' preparing the meal with a truly sweet reason.
The mother was quite satisfied, and while Jijo was quietly looking at her, he invited Haha. Haha is the president of Jijo's agency and made the mother smile widely by bringing her a scarf from brand B.
However, on this day, Jijo's independence was declared. Haha noted, 'When we signed the contract with Jijo, he promised that he wouldn't stand in front of his father unless he was successful. This meant he would definitely stand up. As a year passed, and as time went on, the guilt increased, so we only occasionally communicated, but he didn't step up,' adding, 'Jijo is the first friend I signed a contract with when I founded the company. He is a founding contributor,' and expressed gratitude, saying, 'Jijo is more than a colleague; he is family and a comrade.'
Haha said, 'I said you can always come back. We could check each other's feelings,' adding, 'It's a bottom that you need to carve out for yourself, and I have some shortcomings too. Don't worry too much. If you look back, I will be there.' He wholeheartedly supported Jijo's decision.
In response, the mother laughed and said, 'So if you don't have an agency, doesn't Jijo get to keep all the appearance fees?' to which Jijo calmly responded, 'From my mother's perspective, it's like being lucky. I get to keep all the net profit,' echoing her words.
