In the MBC variety show 'Home Alone,' Kim Dae-ho wept upon meeting his mentor after 30 years.
In the MBC variety show 'Home Alone,' aired on the 30th, the scene of Kim Dae-ho visiting the neighborhood that holds his childhood memories after more than 30 years was depicted.
That day, Kim Dae-ho revealed, "I am going to meet someone precious whom I have wanted to see today," and added, "The person I am visiting after more than 30 years is my mentor. This is the homeroom teacher who taught me at the school I attended after my APT. subscription."
Although he was only with the teacher for 4 months, it was revealed that the teacher had personally sent a letter to Kim Dae-ho when he had to suddenly transfer schools due to his father's accident. Kim Dae-ho conveyed, "I didn't know at the time but later heard that there was 'no teacher like this.' I carried a desire to find him later, living 30 years with that in mind."
He continued, "You might think I wouldn't remember someone I met for about 4 months, but I had a very special memory that made me want to visit today. I heard through the education office that I could connect with the teacher with his consent."
Soon after meeting his teacher for the first time in 30 years, Kim Dae-ho burst into tears. He explained, "The moment I spotted the teacher, I heard my childhood voice. I called out 'Teacher,' and it sounded like my elementary school voice, not the adult Kim Dae-ho, which made me cry. In a short time, I became a kid again, and I couldn't hold back my tears."
Crying like a child, Kim Dae-ho walked with his teacher and talked. The teacher revealed, "I was 25 or 26 years old at that time; it was my first assignment," adding that Kim Dae-ho was his first student, which made it even more meaningful.
Afterward, Kim Dae-ho took out a handwritten letter for his mentor and began to read it. He said, "In my memory, you always reached out to me when I was alone and showed me interest. I later learned that you sent me a letter after I transferred."
He continued, "I don't have many memories, but it is a piece that is essential to my life, so I took the liberty of reaching out. Thank you for filling my life. I will live hard to become a shining piece in your life as well. Thank you for being my teacher. Please be healthy and happy." After receiving Kim Dae-ho's heartfelt message, the teacher embraced him, and Kim Dae-ho wept.
Meanwhile, when the topic of marriage came up, Kim Dae-ho confessed, "I am not against marriage. I want to do it naturally. It has been 9 years since I dated." The teacher advised Kim Dae-ho to meet more people.
Later, in an interview, Kim Dae-ho shared, "In the recent 3 months, I had a lot of ambitions and felt anxious. There were times I wasn't myself. The teacher seemed to say to me, 'You've had a tough time,' while listening to my stories," expressing his feelings of impatience since declaring himself a freelancer. In response, Jun Hyun-moo remarked, "It must have been similar to the awkwardness you felt during your transfer three months after declaring yourself."
Kim Dae-ho then vowed, "I just felt really healed. I think that's the power of teachers. I become an elementary school student in front of the teachers. I will live hard."
