MBC "Home Alone" featured broadcaster Kim Dae-ho, who has been a freelancer for three months, shedding tears while meeting his mentor for the first time in 30 years. Through a reunion with the teacher he had long cherished in his heart, he opened up his deep feelings, touching the hearts of many.
On the 30th, the episode of "Home Alone" portrayed Kim Dae-ho visiting a neighborhood filled with childhood memories and going to meet his elementary school homeroom teacher. Kim Dae-ho stated, "Today, I am going to meet someone precious whom I have always wanted to see, my teacher who was my homeroom teacher for four months when I transferred to this elementary school over 30 years ago."
Although it was a brief relationship, his teacher was an unforgettable presence for Kim Dae-ho. He shared, "I had to transfer suddenly due to my father's accident, and later I heard that my teacher had personally written me a letter, which made me think, 'I must find this person.'"
Through the education office, he was able to contact his teacher after a long time, and finally the reunion after 30 years took place. The moment he saw his teacher's face, Kim Dae-ho felt as if he had returned to his childhood and burst into tears. He expressed, "The moment I saw my teacher, I heard my young voice calling out 'teacher.' It felt like I had become an elementary student within a short time."
In particular, Kim Dae-ho conveyed his feelings through a handwritten letter. He read, "I still remember the warmth you showed me by speaking to me when I was alone. I thank you for being an essential part of my life. I will live diligently so that I can remain a part of your memories." After this, his teacher hugged him warmly, and Kim Dae-ho again shed the tears he had been holding back.
At the end of the broadcast, Kim Dae-ho honestly confessed the pressure and impatience he felt since declaring himself a freelancer. He noted, "I had many desires and was not my true self. It felt like my teacher was saying, 'You did well,' and it was a healing experience." Hearing this, Jun Hyun-moo empathized, saying, "It must have felt similar to the awkwardness you felt when you transferred for three months after declaring yourself a freelancer."
Kim Dae-ho added, "I just felt really healed. It seems to be the power that teachers possess. I revert to being an elementary student in front of teachers. I will live diligently."
The reunion with his teacher, who had a brief but deep bond with him 30 years ago, was a warm comfort for Kim Dae-ho and a touching moment that marked a new beginning.
