The story of a large family from Montreal, Canada, suffering from a rare disease turns the show 'Welcome, First Time in Korea?' into a sea of tears.
Today's (30) broadcast of the MBC Every1 variety show Welcome, First Time in Korea? (abbreviated Welcome) reveals the Korean travel diary of a large family from Montreal, Canada.
Among the four siblings from Montreal, Canada, three suffer from a rare hereditary condition that will cause them to lose their eyesight by the time they reach adulthood. As a result, the parents decided on homeschooling and world travel so the i-dle can have as many experiences and memories as possible before losing their sight, and the whole family came to Korea.
Among them, they visited a calligraphy class in Insadong, Jongno District, Seoul, to try traditional brush calligraphy. The first sight of the four treasures of the study and the calm atmosphere of calligraphy was a challenge for the large family. Especially the second child Leo and the youngest, Laurent, caused laughter by joking around from the start of the class. However, even with clumsy skills they carefully completed the characters and were said to have fallen for Hangeul and brush calligraphy.
In particular, the large family from Montreal, Canada, recorded each of their dreams in carefully written brush calligraphy. Among them, the dreams of mother Edith and father Sebastian moved the Welcome production team and cast to tears. The mother, who said she would support the i-dle's dreams to the end, and the father's wish, "All together, strong," soothed the anxiety of children who may lose their sight at any time and revealed sincere family love.
Welcome MC and father of two daughters, comedian Kim Joon-hyun, especially empathized. He choked up, saying, "If it were me, I would have denied God." Singer Byul, who appeared as a special guest and is also a mother of a large family who married broadcaster Haha and gave birth to three children, Dream, Soul and Song, cried uncontrollably during the actual recording.
This raises even more anticipation for how the genuine feelings of the large family from Montreal, Canada, will be revealed on Welcome. The hopes pressed into each stroke of their brush calligraphy are expected to move viewers. <
