“Grandma, Grandpa! I miss you”… Canadian grandchildren expressing their longing in the Gyeongsang dialect? Calgary, Canada → Uiseong-gun, Gyeongbuk… A long journey by a 5-year-old and 2-year-old grandchildren to see their grandparents The two grandchildren who live in Calgary, Canada, a ‘real-life winter wonderland’ where it snows for 8 months a year, enjoyed skating on the natural ice rink on Lake Louise, one of the world’s top 10 scenic spots, and enjoyed sledding and building snowmen to the fullest during the long winter… It is said that the viewers’ hearts were cooled to the core by the scenery which is the complete opposite of Korea where the summer heat has just begun! In addition, the two children who were born and raised by a Korean father and a Canadian mother have successfully captured the hearts of their ‘online aunts and uncles’ by consistently speaking Korean in their daily lives. Meanwhile, the eldest daughter, Jia, would often say “Grandma, Grandpa! The longing filled with the sweet(?) feeling of “I miss you” has raised the anticipation for the meeting with Korean grandparents and grandchildren even more. The second part of the Canadian episode, “Canadian Grandchildren Meet ‘Hometown Spring,’” which will air on Wednesday, May 29th at 9:55 PM, will reveal the grandchildren’s 18-hour journey from Calgary, Canada to Uiseong-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea, the scene of the grandparent-grandchild reunion after two years, and the week of joys and sorrows between grandparents that brings laughter and tears. ‘Hearts pounding’ at the news that the grandchildren are coming… The grandparents at the orchard house ‘welcome with tears’ While the grandchildren Jia and Noah were on their 18-hour journey by plane, bus, and train, chaos broke out at a family home in Uiseong-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do… They are preparing colorful helium balloons that would be the envy of any party venue! It's grandfather Gu Ja-gang (64 years old) and grandmother Kim Seon-hee (59 years old) who are excited about welcoming their grandchildren. The grandparents, who recalled how much they loved helium balloons when they met their grandchild Jia two years ago, willingly bought helium gas canisters for their grandchildren this time as well. On a spring evening when a drizzle was falling, the grandparents went to Gyeongju Station, an hour away from their home, to pick them up. While they were nervously waiting for their grandchildren, Jia and Noah, whom they had been waiting for so long, finally appeared after two years. The moment when their grandchildren, whom they had only seen through video calls, appeared before their eyes! We will reveal that touching moment in its entirety. The grandparents who have never rested in their orchard for 40 years, have temporarily closed for their grandchildren? The appearance of the greatest 'big shot' ever! From '100% homemade' meals to desserts! Grandchildren's Customized Breakfast Table Grandparents work tirelessly all year round in an orchard of over 4,000 pyeong (approximately 14,000 sq ft) growing peaches, apples, and jujubes, and even manage a barn of 40 Korean cattle. However, they decided to switch to 'temporary closure' mode for the first time in their lives for their grandchildren's visit this time. The grandparents made countless plans to spend a fulfilling week with their grandchildren this time. In particular, grandmother Kim Seon-hee reportedly visited all the hot places in Uiseong-gun to visit with her grandchildren! Will the grandchildren have a fun day in Uiseong-gun, Gyeongbuk, just as the grandparents planned? On the first morning that the Canadian grandchildren had in Korea, a meal of extraordinary scale was served. It was grandmother's breakfast table that proved that she was the 'big shot' of Uiseong-gun. Grandmother Kim Seon-hee carefully selected and prepared a menu that would capture the taste buds of her grandchildren, including japchae, sesame seaweed soup, barley gulbi, bulgogi, fruit salad, and napa cabbage kimchi, which she made from the crack of dawn. Even her Canadian daughter-in-law, Jillian McConnell (32 years old), who knew her mother-in-law's distribution well, couldn't help but take a lot of certification shots. As if she knew her grandmother's heart, the grandchildren began to eat without restraint, and in particular, the second son Noah was so absorbed in his grandmother's seaweed soup that he ended up eating the whole bowl. "Goodbye, mom and dad for now"... The 5-year-old and 2-year-old grandchildren are left alone with their grandparents! What is daily life like between grandparents and grandchildren? The Canadian grandchildren's [Experience! Life Scene] Picking wild vegetables x Giving small pieces of food x Even packaging apple juice? After dinner, Dad Seung-bon and Mom Jillian go out alone for a time with their grandparents and the kids - two-year-old Noah, who doesn't know that his parents are gone, and his five-year-old sister Jia, who takes care of him like an adult. How will the two grandchildren spend their daily lives with their grandparents? The grandparents and grandchildren go out to pick spring greens, which are full of the energy of Uiseong-gun, Gyeongbuk. Jia harvests 'dalrae' for the first time in her life with her hands. Unlike her grandparents who are excited, Jia's reaction is lukewarm. Grandfather Gu Ja-gang changes his course for Jia! He leads Jia to the barn to show her her favorite animals. Jia safely feeds cows that are several times bigger than her. Not satisfied with doing her part, this time she takes on a more difficult task. She decides to pack apple juice for her grandmother who has a sore back! 'Experience! Jia, a professional worker who has transformed into a 'life scene' mode! Will her five-year-old grandson be able to finish his work safely? Grandma's bucket list is fulfilled... A neighborhood tour x a playground tour in the town with her grandchildren Jia and Noah have become accustomed to spending their days with their grandparents! As the spring rain stops, the grandmother decides to fulfill a bucket list she has long dreamed of. It is to show her grandchildren around the town! While making a bouquet of chrysanthemums with her grandchildren and going around the town, the grandparents keep bragging about their grandchildren to the neighbors. Jia and Noah, who have risen to superstar status in a rural area where children are rare, are escorted by the neighborhood grandmothers and even receive a large mugwort rice cake and pocket money from the mill owner, making a proper initiation ceremony. In addition, the grandparents visited the indoor playground in the Jomun Museum, a hot place for children in Uiseong-gun, for their grandchildren. They make happy memories with their grandchildren in a place that is no less than a large kids' cafe. Farewell to the Canadian grandchildren... “Goodbye, my grandchildren.” A week with her grandchildren flew by. The time of farewell is approaching... Grandmother holds back tears and makes ‘noodles’ as her last meal for her two grandchildren who will return to Canada, and prepares helium balloons that her eldest daughter, Jia, loves so much. As the moment of separation approaches, not only her grandchildren, but also her son and daughter-in-law burst into tears, and even her grandfather, a man from Gyeongsang Province, turns around and wipes his tears. Grandmother Kim Seon-hee also ends up sobbing out of regret. How will the story of the Canadian grandchildren and grandparents, whose longing deepens with each passing watch, end? #EBS #Algorism #HereMyGrandchildren #Canada #Korea #InternationalFamily #Multicultural #Mom #Dad #Family #Love #Touching #Grandparents #Grandmother #Grandfather #Grandchildren #Jia #Noah #CanadianGuseobang #Orchard #Farming #KoreanBeef #Farewell #Tears 📺Broadcast Information 📌Program Name: Here!
