In Omniscient Interfering View, the scene of Sean's perseverance—carrying 70kg of briquettes on a traditional carrying frame and walking straight up to the house at the top of the hill—is revealed. To raise Korea's temperature by 1 degree, the dignity of true sharing that has continued for the past 12 years delivers a moving resonance.
Today (the 10th) on MBC's entertainment program Omniscient Interfering View (abbreviated as '전참시') episode 380, Sean, his wife Jeong Hye-young, and their four children — the whole family — transform into 'briquette Santas' for the 184th 'Korea 1-degree increase' project. While everyone else prepares excitedly for Christmas Eve, Sean's family, as always, shouldered briquettes and made the end of 2025 the hottest one yet.
Sean, who began briquette volunteer work in 2014 and has never stopped since, has had more than 10,000 volunteers sweat alongside him, including celebrities such as Song Eun I, Yang Se-hyung, Yoo Byungjae, Kim Sook, Park Bo Gum, and Sandara Park, and the donations he collected amount to 1 billion won. More than a one-time event, his steadfastness in quietly standing by marginalized neighbors over many years leaves the studio commentators astonished.
This volunteer effort, becoming 'briquette Santas' on Christmas Eve, is made more meaningful by the participation of his wife Jeong Hye-young and their four children. In particular, Sean drew attention by volunteering to deliver to the house at the top of the hill where not even a briquette truck can enter and where even volunteers hesitate. Even so, he carries 19 briquettes at once, each weighing 3.65kg, a total of about 70kg—roughly the weight of an adult—on his carrying frame and walks straight up the steep slope with both hands.
Even when out of breath, Sean silently climbs the hill to bring warmth to his neighbors with superhuman energy that takes viewers' breath away. Joined by his children who follow their father in carrying briquettes and the dedication of his wife Jeong Hye-young, their 'Korea 1-degree increase' on Christmas Eve is expected to wrap living rooms battered by the cold wave in unforgettable warmth. After appearing on '전참시', Sean revealed that donation inquiries surged more than tenfold, showing his true 'Sean-like influence,' according to reports.
Sean's unending 'Sean-like influence' and the dignity of true sharing written by his whole family will be broadcast tonight, Saturday, at 11:10 p.m.
