In 'Villains Everywhere,' So Yoo-jin shed tears over her son's bullying victimization.
In the episode aired on the 16th of KBS2's Wednesday drama 'Villains Everywhere' (written by Chae-Woo and Park Kwang-yeon, directed by Kim Young-jo and Choi Jeong-eun), Oh Yoo-jin (So Yoo-jin) was depicted preparing for an overseas trip for her son, who is teased for being a 'go-around student.'
Oh Yoo-jin's second son, Song Ba-da (Jo Dan), threw a fit about not wanting to go to school. Oh Yoo-jin forced him to attend school, and on the elevator, the children called Song Ba-da a 'go-around student.' 'Go-around student' is short for 'go-around student,' and is used to criticize children who are mocked for being present at school while others are on experiential learning trips abroad.
Oh Yoo-jin was furious upon learning the meaning of 'go-around student.' She asked the children where they had traveled internationally, inquiring about the capital of the country and other general knowledge. When the children could not answer correctly, she pointed out, "Even if you go on a trip, it is not really a trip," and stated, "Being present at school has the most wonderful value. It is not being a 'go-around student,' but being an attendance champion."
Oh Yoo-jin resolved not to be swayed by superficial culture, but she was worried about her son being teased, so she looked into traveling abroad. She became intrigued when she saw a 4-day, 3-night trip to Cebu, Philippines, for 200,000 won. Since Song Jin-woo (Song Jin-woo) had saved about 1 million won in celebration funds, she thought she could use that to proceed with the trip. However, Song Jin-woo had mistakenly given that money as a congratulatory gift for Kim Sang-moo's (Kim Deok-hyun) father's 80th birthday celebration. To resolve the situation, Song Jin-woo sold his cherished bicycle through a second-hand market.
The travel package Oh Yoo-jin found was the cheapest option without add-ons. If some experiences were included, it would cost 700,000 won per person, which made Oh Yoo-jin hesitate. To avoid the trip, she gave a quiz about the Philippines. When Song Ba-da failed to answer the 10th question, Oh Yoo-jin stated, "You need to study more," and "You need to prepare more thoroughly," leading her to cancel the trip. Despite her son crying and causing a scene, Oh Yoo-jin emphasized, "When it's time to be firm, one must be firm," and turned away.
Oh Yoo-jin was not at peace. Due to their financial difficulties, she shed tears when her son was mocked as a 'go-around student.' In response, her sister Oh Na-ra (Oh Na-ra) provided about 2 million won to enable the trip. Oh Yoo-jin, Song Jin-woo, and Song Ba-da packed their travel necessities and were excited about the overseas trip.
However, the trip was thwarted. The travel agency that was booked was on the brink of bankruptcy due to management issues. As a result, Oh Yoo-jin created memories by taking Song Ba-da on a conceptual trip to outer space with her family. The travel agency reached out, promising to take care of the trip, but Oh Yoo-jin remarked, "The trip is meant to create memories, and this is a memory too," with a smile.
