This is a review article written after watching the broadcast.
'Radio Star' GREE (Kim Dong-hyun), who completed his full term of service as a corporal in the Marine Corps, showed a warm filial devotion toward his father Kim Gu Ra as his first act upon returning.
On the 4th broadcast, MBC's 'Radio Star' was presented as a 'SHOW! walk the flowery road~' special featuring Kim Won-jun, Cho Hye-lyeon, Hanhae, and GREE.
After completing 549 days of military service, GREE appeared in the studio just four hours after his discharge. With the warmth of his uniform not yet gone, GREE, appearing in a dignified manner, finished his discharge report in a strong voice and surprised everyone with an unexpected sudden action.
GREE shouted, "Marines never kneel, but I will perform a full bow once for my beloved father," and respectfully bowed to his father Kim Gu Ra. He then conveyed a short but weighty sincerity, "Father, I love you," which made the atmosphere at the scene solemn.
Known for his cold, sharp-tongued image, Kim Gu Ra broke down before the genuine emotion of his son, who had returned as a proper man. Kim Gu Ra's eyes became moist as he received his son's bow, and with a look of mixed emotions he looked at his son, showing a moving fatherly love.
The reactions of colleagues on site were also warm. Cho Hye-lyeon said, "He feels like my son," repeatedly wiping her tears with tissue, and You Se Yoon also said, "I welled up thinking of my son," unable to continue speaking.
That day Kim Gu Ra revealed an anecdote about how he once hurled a sharp remark, "What kind of ridiculousness is that," when his son said he would apply to the Marine Corps, showing both apology and pride. He sincerely congratulated his son's safe return with a warm message, "Please always respect your children's decisions."
