The episode of KBS2's variety show 'Malja Show' aired on the 27th, featuring a special on 'First Experiences in Life.' During the broadcast, a concern was raised about a viewer who had a stressful trip with their parents and was asked to go on another trip. 'Malja Grandma' Kim Young-hee shared her own experiences and offered advice on resolving family conflicts.
Kim Young-hee remarked, "Family is the closest relationship, yet everything is a first-time experience," explaining that this often leads to conflicts. She recalled her first trip to Fukuoka and Yufuin, Japan, with her mother and younger brother. Despite planning a top-notch trip, she forgot to book a bus from Fukuoka to Yufuin, which disrupted the entire itinerary. "From that point, I started to feel the pressure from my family," she confessed.
Kim Young-hee shared that she eventually exploded due to her mother's constant complaints and her lack of interest in the planned itinerary, as her mother was more focused on checking stock prices. "It turned into a costly and unpleasant trip. Even when I take her to nice places, she only looks at stock prices. Parents need to understand that their words can deeply affect their children," she advised.
Guest Seo Kyung-seok shared an anecdote about his colleague Park Myung-soo. Seo recalled, "During our early days, when Lee Yoon-seok and I were popular, Park Myung-soo wasn't as well-known. However, I always thought he would succeed." He added, "Even as a rookie, Park Myung-soo would scold and yell at seniors, which got him into trouble. But from the sidelines, it was hilarious. I believed that once the right era came, Park Myung-soo's unique comedy would shine."
Seo Kyung-seok further described Park Myung-soo as a very diligent person. "Some might call him stingy, but he spends when necessary and doesn't waste money. He was so dedicated to nightclub events that we used to say, 'Even if his socks have holes, he never misses an event,'" Seo added.
The episode also featured audience members sharing their unique 'first' experiences, bringing laughter to the show. A female audience member who failed her first audition for 'National Singing Contest' recreated her performance, causing a burst of laughter. Additionally, Seo Kyung-seok, known for his appearance on 'Real Men,' gave a special lecture on saluting to three Air Force ROTC candidates who freeze up in front of instructors and seniors.
