Singer Jang Woo-hyuk went on a desperate 'flower viewing' with his mother.
In the 10th episode of ENA's 'Hyoja Village', which aired on the 5th, Jang Woo-hyuk's mother and son were depicted spending their last day at Hyoja Village due to the unexpected flower viewing.
On this day's broadcast, Kim Buyong's mother woke up at an early hour. On the other hand, Kim Buyong was still wandering in his dreams because of the filial piety mission he completed last night and complained in his sleep, "I want to go home." Buyong Kim's mother said, "Let's have deep words with each other," and took out a bucket list she had written in advance. Unlike his mother, who was very excited, Buyong Kim grumbled, “What are you doing this morning?” However, Buyong Kim went for a walk, which was one of his mother's favorite things to do.
While Kim Bu-yong and his mother started living in the filial village, showing off their bickering chemistry from the first day, Jang Woo-hyuk and his mother prepared to say goodbye. Jang Woo-hyuk started by preparing breakfast for his mother as usual. The production crew briefly called the mother and handed her a flower viewing envelope. Regarding the unexpected farewell, MC Ahn Young-mi gave a deep insight, saying, "Isn't that how life is? The moment of separation comes at random, without any rules." Jang Woo-hyuk and his mother set out a table of seaweed soup that Jang Woo-hyuk made for the first time and opened the flower envelope together. At the same time, Jang Woo-hyuk held his mother's hand tightly and conveyed a touching confession, "Mom, I love you."
After saying goodbye to the residents of Hyoja Village, Jang Woo-hyuk and his mother went out to see flowers. Jang Woo-hyuk and his mother, who took pictures with flowers along the way, arrived at the last filial piety place set up by the river. The mother, who sat down with her son, left a final request, saying, "Live well. Live comfortably as the flow goes by. I wish you could live like others live. This is my sincerity. It breaks my heart." Jang Woo-hyuk, who heard this, collapsed on his mother's lap and shed tears, saying, "I can't go. How can I leave my mother alone?"
In the end, the mother cried and cried out her son's name, and Jang Woo-hyuk comforted her, saying, "It was so hard." But the mother said, “No, it was good to have you,” and conveyed her deep sincerity, making everyone sob. Jang Woo-hyuk promised, "I'll live well, Mom," in response to his mother's continued urgings, "I'm fine. You just need to live well." The mother pushed her son's back, and Jang Woo-hyuk kept looking back to see his mother's last appearance. The mother shed tears that she had been holding back since sending her son away. Jang Woo-hyuk wailed, saying, “What should I do? I feel sorry for my mom, so I should have treated her better, but I don’t know what to do.”
After viewing the flowers, Jang Woo-hyuk said about his mother's tears, "I've only seen her cry twice. It also appears in the song 'My Mother' I wrote during HOT, and she came to my room in the middle of the night and sobbed while stroking my head." He added, "I should have held back (during the flower viewing), but I cried without realizing it because I felt like I was leaving. That's why my mother cried and it was heartbreaking." Jang Woo-hyuk's mother said, "I thought a lot about raising Woo-hyuk when I was young," and added, "The most thing about living in Hyoja Village was having my son cook and live with me. I loved it. "
MC Yang Chi-seung, who shed tears non-stop throughout Jang Woo-hyuk's mother's flower viewing, said, "I wonder what it would have been like if I had met 'Hyojachon' a year ago. It's so heartbreaking. It's been half a year since my mother passed away, but I still haven't been able to clean up the house she bought. I turned off the lights and came out, but it was empty. “I thought about it when I came out after seeing the house and the album,” he said, unable to continue his words and sobbing. Defconn also cried, saying, “I was deeply touched. It was an experience I had never felt before.”
