In "O Eun-young Stay," Ko So-young transforms into "Home-Cooked Go Teacher," making sandwiches early in the morning for the participants, impressing the scene with her dedication as she transports sandwiches from Seoul to Ssanggyesa Temple in Hadong, Gyeongnam.
The fifth episode of the MBN 30th anniversary national consolation project "O Eun-young Stay," airing at 9:10 p.m. on the 21st, will feature the final stories of the second season participants, along with the introduction of new faces from the third season. In particular, the third-season participants reveal deeper and more shocking stories.
In relation to this, Ko So-young, the "kind housekeeper" of "O Eun-young Stay," prepares lunchboxes at home the day before heading to the filming location, pouring her sincerity into them. Ko So-young carefully chops fresh vegetables to prepare the filling ingredients before waking up early on filming day to make sandwiches and meticulously pack them, completing a hearty meal.
The participants, receiving the lunchboxes, exclaim phrases like "It's such an honor," "I hit the jackpot," and "You're not only beautiful but also an excellent cook," while Moon Se-yoon also notes, "It's a treat to eat Ko So-young's cooking here," but Ko So-young responds, "It's just a survival thing," showing witty humility that provokes laughter.
Additionally, while filming a self-camera, Ko So-young bursts into laughter when Jang Dong-gun unexpectedly lends his voice. Upon hearing Jang Dong-gun's voice while cooking, Ko So-young hurriedly responds, "I can hear your voice!" leading to an unexpected moment of real couple chemistry as Jang Dong-gun quickly mutes the microphone.
Meanwhile, on this day, O Eun-young mentions her late father, becoming emotional and solemning the atmosphere. While talking with a funeral director participant, O Eun-young shares, "My father passed away last year at 94. Everyone around says it was a good death, but there's no such thing as a good death for a child. I can't even express how much I've cried," which resonates with many. She particularly adds, "My father was a veteran of the Korean War," and confesses, "He's a national hero, and we will now lay him to rest at the national cemetery," adding a heavy resonance. Anticipation builds over how O Eun-young's personal confession will bring comfort to the funeral director participant.
The production team stated, "As the time for the second season participants passes, the journey of the third season participants with deeper wounds begins," adding, "Their sincere confessions and the process of change will deeply resonate with viewers."
Meanwhile, the MBN 30th anniversary national consolation project "O Eun-young Stay" features stories of individuals who have not had the opportunity to fully recover from unexpected pains in life, participating in a temple stay to spend 1 night and 2 days searching for comfort, empathy, and various solutions. It airs every Monday at 9:10 p.m.
