Singer Shin Seong went out to ‘view flowers’ with his father.
In the last episode of the first season of ENA's 'Hyojachon', which aired on the 19th, the flower viewing of Shin Seong's father and son and the final appearance of the first season cast were depicted.
At the opening of the day, 3 MCs Defcon, Ahn Young-mi, and Yang Chi-seung expressed their concerns about the previously announced second flower viewing. The three people complained of the aftereffects, saying, "It hurt so much when I let Jang Woo-hyuk and his mother go that I feel sad just hearing the word flower viewing."
With the second flower viewing event behind us, the morning dawned like usual at Hyoja Village. As soon as Yoon Ki-won woke up, he prepared breakfast for his mother. At this time, he poured barley tea instead of alcohol at the dinner table, and the MCs warmly welcomed his unique appearance, saying, "He has changed." On the other hand, Kim Buyong, who joined Hyojachon late, aroused regret by refusing when his mother asked him to hold hands and take a walk, saying, "We can just go home and hold hands."
Kim Buyong’s mother went out alone and headed to Yoo Jae-hwan’s house. Yoo Jae-hwan showed his sincerity by serving pizza bread to Kim Buyong's mother who visited his house. Youngmi Ahn was proud as she exploded into cheers from the soccer middle class, saying, “Everyone, our Jaehwan did it.” Yoon Ki-won's mother and son Shin Seong, who were walking together, all joined in and a neighborhood group was formed.
Among them, the parents who gathered separately shared stories about the last separation in their lives and consoled their hearts. On the other hand, the sons made everyone laugh by having a stomach-stopping contest while preparing lunch. Yoo Jae-hwan and Kim Buyong, who lost the match, ended their meal by serving black bean ramen to their parents.
The production team quietly summoned Shin Seong’s father. The MCs said, “Isn’t that just flower viewing? It’s like a lightning strike.” After returning home, Shin Seong's father gave Shin Seong an envelope to view flowers. Shin Seong quietly looked at this and shed tears, saying, “Now I can’t see (my father) even if I want to.”
After a while, Shin Seong and his wife came out of the house they had been staying in and said goodbye to the residents they had become so attached to. After father and son Shin Seong left, Yoon Ki-won said, “My mother can’t be by my side forever, so I hope that time comes a little later.”
Arriving at the flower viewing location, Shin Seong carried his father across the valley. On the last seat, the father gave his final advice, saying, "You have never offended your father since you were young. I am relieved that you have grown up well. Stay healthy." In particular, to my son who tearfully asked, “What do I do when I miss you?”, I told him, “You just have to live well. You can forget a little bit.” Shin Seong hugged his father, saying, “Can you stay a little longer?” and his father burst out in tears, saying, “You’re the reason I’m crying, too.”
After viewing the flowers, Shin Seong returned to the house he shared with his father and sat quietly in the seat where his father's warmth remained, taking in the various places with his eyes. Shinsung sighed, saying, “I just want to do better.” Defcon agreed, saying, "I've experienced many programs, but I think it makes me feel emotions I never had before."
Even after Father Shin Seong left, a new day dawned again in Hyoja Village. Buyong Kim took his mother on a motorboat ride. Yang Jun-hyuk and his wife spent time catching memories together at a fishing spot. Yang Jun-hyuk expressed his gratitude, saying, "I went fishing with my father for the first time in 45 years. I was far away from my father, but now we have become a lot closer." Yoo Jae-hwan walked along the Cosmos Road with his mother carrying a guitar and wrote a song he composed for his mother.
Meanwhile, the first season of 'Hyojachon' ended with a warm and heartwarming feeling. Yang Chi-seung said, “Filming for the second season has already been completed.” He then hinted, “In the second season, an incredible number of people will come who will be able to see the end of filial piety and the end of unfilial piety.”
