MBC 'Omniscient Interfering View' godsaeng final boss 'trot goddess' actress Lee El-liya and parenting final boss 'K-animal dad' Lee Kang-tae moved living rooms with waves of emotion through a miraculous trajectory achieved with sincerity and enthusiasm.
On the Apr. 4 (Sat) broadcast of MBC variety show 'Omniscient Interfering View' (planned by Kang Young-seon, directed by Kim Yun-jip·Jeon Jae-wook·Kim Hae-ni·Jung Dong-sik·Lee Da-un, writer Yeo Hyun-jeon), episode 392 gave the first public showing of the surprising 'godsaeng' of actor Lee El-liya, who began a second life as a trot singer. Even during the 'Miss Trot 4' competition she balanced drama filming and graduate school studies, and a behind-the-scenes story revealed that she was awake for 22 of the 24 hours. In the midst of that, she handled phone recruitment responses, schedule adjustments, and appearance fee negotiations, and 'self-manager' Lee El-liya's adept handling of work drew admiration. Yeong-ji, a former member of Bubble Sisters who watched this process after becoming connected as vocal teacher and student through 'Miss Trot 4,' volunteered to be a temporary guardian, saying, "I felt so sorry watching her struggle alone."
Behind Lee El-liya's 'godsaeng-ler' daily life was sincerity and patience that made her give her best to what she wanted to do. In fact, her singing ability did not emerge overnight. She majored in music at Korea National University of Arts, and although she was a talent who received love calls from major agencies such as SM and Big Hit, she experienced the setback of giving up her dream because of vocal cord nodules. Even when she again challenged herself as a singer on 'Miss Trot 4,' pharyngitis cracked her voice and past trauma overwhelmed her, but she never stopped practicing and persisted to the end.
Lee El-liya said she received many casting offers in the past and surprised everyone by saying, "I received a lot of street casting. I got an SM business card, and I had a direct meeting with Bang Si-hyuk of Big Hit. At the time, my parents told me to prioritize going to university."
Park Seon-woong, a professor in the department of psychological convergence science at Korea University, added an anecdote. In her first essay assignment to express herself, she chose the weather and likened herself to a rainbow, expressing endurance as an important keyword in life, which led him to be convinced that Lee El-liya "wasn't there just to get a degree." As a result, she achieved not only perfect attendance without tardiness but also a perfect-score first-class psychological counselor certificate.
The passionately similar Jang Geun-seok said, "I'm proud that people are coming to know Lee El-liya's sincerity, skill and charm." The two, who met three years ago through the drama 'Decoy,' followed parallel paths from actors to singers and on to master's and doctoral studies. Jang Geun-seok, who encouraged her to "give it a try" on this 'Miss Trot 4' as well, offered the sobering reality advice that "you'll walk a very lonely road," while sincerely supporting Lee El-liya's passion.
The video of 'K-animal dad' Lee Kang-tae began with a benevolent influence that spread more widely after his first appearance. Donations increased, and a total of 19 rescued animals were adopted. Not only commentators such as MC Jun Hyun-moo, who seriously considered adopting them into his parents' home, and Hong Hyun-hee, who joined the donations, but also actor Lee Dong-hwi and 'Napoli Mafia' chef Kwon Seong-jun delivered donations, expanding the wave of change.
At 'Kangtopia' house an even more astonishing scene unfolded. After the guardian's death, Jo-cheong, who gave birth to seven alone in a cattle shed, and her puppies, along with 13 baby kittens rescued from shelters nationwide, expanded into a large family of 28 in total. Despite the exhaustion of waking at dawn to feed and stimulate bowel movements every two hours for a one-month-old kitten, Lee Kang-tae's extraordinary devotion, saying "I'm proud," was fully conveyed.
The rescue center 'PocketMung Center' also expanded. Coincidentally, a proper cattery was built in the space left by a pet shop. It was improved into a more stable protection environment with individual room spaces, a boiler, cat doors and individual hygiene supplies for territorial animals like cats. There, animals wounded by abusive humans who had closed their hearts or become disabled were given another chance to walk and accept touch thanks to other warm humans, and commentators including famed cat caretaker Yoo Byungjae were moved to tears as the animals met happy families.
The highlight of the day was the celebrity mixed-breed dog Dada and the first birthday party of the much-asked-about 'Dada baby' 10 siblings. When Dada appeared the children went straight up, wagging their tails to show their joy, and Dada, comfortable enough to lean into people, entered strict discipline mode at rude behavior. Her enduring maternal instincts, such as offering water first to thirsty children, moved hearts. As the 'tiny ones' who once caused mischief grew up and even completed the difficult group photo with dignity, living rooms were filled with warm emotion.
Meanwhile, next week's broadcast will feature Ji-movie, the No. 1 creator of a movie review channel with 3.97 million subscribers. Viewers will see the workaholic daily life of 'the man who lives with movies,' from his luxuriously decorated home to his focus on narration and editing. Following that, the refuge of national rocker Yoon Do-hyun and the special relationship with manager Kim Jeong-il, who has been with him for 30 years, will be spotlighted. The moving narrative of the two, who stood by each other through long struggles with illness and triumphed together, and Yoon Do-hyun's rock'n'roll life after returning to the stage are also highly anticipated.
