A dispute with his mother led Hwanhee to finally break down in tears, drawing attention to the background of the incident.
Hwanhee prepares a special event for his mother and breaks down in tears on television for the first time.
On Sat. at 9:20 p.m., KBS 2TV's Mr. House Husband will air an episode revealing Hwanhee's preparations of a "filial piety full course" as he plans to move in with his mother.
That day Hwanhee declares a "filial piety day," taking responsibility for everything from gifts for his mother to meal preparation and washing blankets. Especially inexperienced in cooking, Hwanhee attempts kimchi fried rice but astonishes his mother with his outlandish cooking skills. He also stretches unspun blankets on the drying rack, turning the house into a sea of water, revealing his clumsy household skills and prompting laughter. Watching this, MC Eun Ji-won said, "He's a genius at getting airtime. He's a new bundle of incidents," reportedly clicking his tongue.
Next, Hwanhee takes his mother to a photo studio. He suggests taking passport photos for his mother, who said she had never even been to Jeju Island, and with his mother finally taking her first passport photos in 74 years, interest grows over whether Hwanhee and his mother will at last take their first overseas trip together.
But at the photo studio, Hwanhee's mother's unexpected sudden action continues. Learning of the situation belatedly, Hwanhee bursts into tears upon seeing his mother. Having never once shown tears on broadcast since his debut, Hwanhee sobs aloud like a child, and his mother, taken aback by seeing her son for the first time like that, also wipes her eyes.
In the studio, Eun Ji-won and Park Seo-jin, watching this, also burst into tears and could not hide their solemn feelings. Attention is focused on what sudden action by Hwanhee's mother moved everyone to tears.
Earlier, from the time Hwanhee first joined Mr. House Husband, he showed major conflicts with his mother. Admitting he was an "unfilial son," he tried to get closer to his 74-year-old mother, but it was not easy.
He persuaded his mother and even led her on an outing to a traditional market together for the first time in about 20 years. Upon arriving at the market, Hwanhee tried to show a caring son by offering to carry the bags, but his mother, watching her son's reactions, could not easily choose an item, and she revealed, "It was a little uncomfortable," creating an awkward atmosphere.
Especially on the way home after shopping, while watching her son's reactions, the mother handed Hwanhee a mysterious white envelope. It contained cash equal to the amount Hwanhee had spent at the market. When the mother had withdrawn the cash, Hwanhee said, "There's no place for a child to be indebted to a parent," unable to hold back his hurt and upset feelings, and he ultimately got angry. He raised his voice, saying, "Why are you always apologizing to me? That's just how people live, how families live. Did I spend a million won there? You can't stand that either. Mom's personality is too… she's not a stranger. Are you acting like someone else?"
As the conflict between mother and son deepened, Hwanhee suddenly broke down in front of his mother, leaving people curious about the real story. <
