A touching story of a Canadian family from Montreal visiting Korea to show more of the world to their children, who may lose their sight, is set to be revealed.
On the upcoming episode of MBC Every1's 'Welcome, First Time in Korea?' airing on the 23rd, viewers will get to see the special Korean journey of a six-member family from Montreal, Canada.
The family consists of father Sebastian, mother Edith, and their four children. The eldest, Mia, is a caring big sister, while the second child, Leo, is a playful mood maker. Colin, the third child, stands out with his distinct charm, and the youngest, Laurent, is the beloved baby of the family. Each member's unique personality brings unpredictable energy from the start.
The family maintains their daily life through a systematic division of labor. Sebastian and Edith share parenting and household duties, showing a stable partnership. However, life with four children is never dull, and even a moment's lapse can lead to chaos at home. As Edith puts it, "Every moment is a mess," reflecting the realistic challenges of raising multiple children. The studio hosts watching the family also expressed deep empathy.
There is a special reason behind this family's journey. Three of their four children have been diagnosed with a rare condition that may cause them to lose their sight as adults. The parents decided to embark on this journey to fill their children's eyes with as much of the world as possible, choosing Korea as their starting point.
The preview of this heartfelt story quickly went viral online, garnering high views. Viewers expressed their emotions with comments like "I cried just watching the preview," "I'm already touched," and "The parents' desire to show their children more of the world is truly moving," showing deep empathy and support.
The Canadian family's journey filled with laughter and tears can be seen on 'Welcome, First Time in Korea?' airing at 8:30 PM.
