On the upcoming episode of MBC's 'Save Me! Holmes,' airing on the 26th, comedians Kim Dae-hee, Jang Dong-min, and Shin Bong-sun explore the evolving forms of K-Homes over the years. The episode will feature the trio recreating the family concept from the popular 'Need a Conversation' segment of the past comedy show, drawing attention.
They visit homes of the so-called 'Kangaroo Tribe,' adults living with their parents. This phenomenon, known as 'Boomerang Kids' in Canada and 'Full-time Children' in China, is becoming a global trend.
In the studio, the cast engages in an honest discussion about the 'Kangaroo Tribe,' with opinions clashing over whether it causes stress to parents or provides companionship. Joo Woo-jae adds fuel to the debate by suggesting that if the 'Kangaroo Tribe' members are economically active, they can share the burden, making it a positive arrangement.
The episode also features a visit to a 'Kangaroo Tribe' home in Dobong-gu, where a 1.5-pyeong personal space is filled with collectibles and a vintage radio, reflecting the resident's tastes. However, the mother of the 'Kangaroo Tribe' member humorously describes it as resembling a 'shaman's house,' sparking curiosity about its interior.
The K-Homes episode of 'Save Me! Holmes' airs on the 26th at 10 PM.
