Jung Young-joo's father has been diagnosed with early-stage dementia, causing shock. After six months of living together, frequently losing his memory and repeating the same questions, Jung Young-joo accompanied her father to the neurology department. It was revealed that Young-joo's father had been taking depression medication for a long time due to panic disorder. During the ensuing cognitive tests, Young-joo's father could not recall words, leaving the studio in shock.

After both father and daughter celebrated the results of being 'born with a silver spoon' for a moment, Young-joo's father expressed concern, saying, 'I'm more worried about the results of my brain tests. If I suddenly collapse, my family would suffer.' The results showed some decline in memory, spatial-temporal ability, and executive function in the frontal lobe, leading to increased concern for the father and daughter. Ultimately, the diagnosis of early-stage dementia left everyone in disappointment.
