MBC Omniscient Interfering View will reveal the special bond between Yu Seun-geun, South Korea's first Olympic snowboard "big air" medalist, and her steadfast supporter, Venerable Hosan.
The MBC variety show Omniscient Interfering View, airing today (21st) (planned by Kang Young-seon; directed by Kim Yoon-jip, Jeon Jae-wook, Kim Hae-ni, Jeong Dong-sik, Lee Da-woon; writer Yeo Hyun-jeon) episode 390 shines a light on Olympic snowboard "big air" bronze medalist Yu Seun-geun and the deep bond with Venerable Hosan, head monk of Bongseonsa, the "godfather of the snowboard world," who has sponsored snowboard prospects for 23 years.
Venerable Hosan is the organizer of the country's largest Buddhist-sponsored "Dalma Cup snowboard competition," and he drew attention as the emotional pillar not only for Yu Seun-geun, who competed at this year's Milan Winter Olympics, but also for parallel slalom silver medalist Kim Sang-kyum. When the two reunited after the Olympics, they greeted each other warmly, showing grandfather-and-granddaughter chemistry. In particular, Venerable Hosan revealed his "ardent fandom," saying, "I couldn't sleep at night and even skipped meditation," to watch Yu Seun-geun's Olympic performance, which reportedly filled the venue with laughter.
The triumphant return scene of "Dalma kids" Yu Seun-geun also captured attention. At the appearance of the "Olympic hero," the scene at the "20th Dalma Championship" quickly turned into a fan meeting atmosphere, and Yu Seun-geun gave cute fan service by signing autographs and taking commemorative photos for aspiring snowboarders. Watching this, Venerable Hosan said, "Thanks to Seun-geun, the Dalma Cup is getting more attention," expressing gratitude and pride and adding warmth to the moment.
Also revealed is Venerable Hosan's surprising board skill. As soon as the monk mounted the board, he waved his monk's robe while showing high-level jumps and a refreshing slope run, drawing cheers from the commentators. The event featured the "rail jam" discipline, in which competitors slide down rails to showcase tricks, and Yu Seun-geun performed a demonstration on the "50,000-won" discounted board that had drawn attention at the Olympic stage, inspiring the young prospects.
The meaningful companionship between Yu Seun-geun, who wrote a miracle for Korea's alpine sports, and Venerable Hosan, who quietly lit the way, can be seen on Omniscient Interfering View today (21st) at 11:10 p.m.
