TV CHOSUN 'Dad and I season 3' marks the Lunar New Year as Jeon Soo-kyung joins a meeting of Korean War veterans who include her 97-year-old father. Also, Jun Hyun-moo X Han Hye-jin X Hyun Joo-yeop X Jeon Soo-kyung X Soobin share their experience stories about "holiday nagging."
The episode of TV CHOSUN 'Dad and I season 3' airing at 10 p.m. on Wed., the 18th, features Jeon Soo-kyung's father, who attracted attention for his lively daily life despite his advanced age of 97. Born in 1930, Jeon Soo-kyung's father, who has vision, hearing and stamina that are youthful, visits the office of the Korean War veterans association where he serves as vice chairman.
At a gathering of members with an average age of 95, Jeon Soo-kyung's father proposed a special face-off to check their health, saying, "Let's arm wrestle one by one." The veterans association president pointed to the 98-year-old eldest member, saying, "This gentleman is No. 1." Then the 97-year-old, Jeon Soo-kyung's father, taunted, "Let's try once. I won't do it for nothing. It has to be for money," and provoked the younger man, prompting the 98-year-old veteran to accept the challenge after being flustered, asking, "Shall we bet 50,000 won?" The 1929-born veteran and Jeon Soo-kyung's 1930-born father moved their seats and properly set up for the arm wrestling, and other veterans in their 90s and even the 81-year-old youngest secretary-general focused their eyes on the match. At the sight, Han Hye-jin burst out laughing, saying, "Suddenly they look like elementary school kids," at the quarrel among the 90-something members that rivaled children. The studio also focused intense attention on the spectacle that can be seen only on 'Dad and I.'
Meanwhile, Jeon Soo-kyung visited the veterans office that day and delivered Lunar New Year gifts for national meritorious people. At his daughter's appearance, Jeon Soo-kyung's father's shoulders rose to the sky. When Jeon Soo-kyung handed out the gifts, smiles brightened the faces of the members. In particular, Jeon Soo-kyung, who drank coffee personally poured by a 94-year-old elder, created laughter with a look of being at a loss between apology and gratitude. The veterans also shared bitter anecdotes about the "irregular forces" who fought in the war without service numbers, and Jeon Soo-kyung, relating those stories to her father, revealed her complex feelings. The vivid firsthand accounts of the veterans' experiences during the Korean War that cannot be heard without tears will be revealed in the broadcast.
In the studio, stories about experiences of "holiday nagging" erupted for the Lunar New Year. Jun Hyun-moo asked, "When it comes to holidays, you can't leave out nagging. What's the most annoying nagging you hear?"
In response, Hyun Joo-yeop answered, "My mother nags a bit. She told me to lose weight because I was fat, but now that I'm too thin she tells me to gain weight. The nagging never ends." Hyun Joo-yeop lost about 40kg amid emotional distress from controversies such as power abuse allegations, shocking everyone. He was embroiled in allegations. Afterwards he filed a lawsuit seeking a correction and damages against MBC's 'True Story' that reported on this, and the court ruled partially in his favor.
Meanwhile, Jun Hyun-moo said, "It's the same for me. There's hardly talk of marriage anymore... When I go home, they fiercely give me lots of food and fruit. When I eat it all and pat my stomach, they say, 'What's with that belly? Exercise. Lose weight.' When I say my mother gives me a lot, they say, 'You don't get fat from what you eat at home.' It makes no sense at all," grumbling to elicit laughter. Han Hye-jin also said she strongly empathized with the stress of holiday nagging, saying, "Even now, if I'm a little absent from broadcasting, they often say things like, 'Why aren't you on?,' 'You haven't been around lately; what are you doing?'"
