In Gyo-jin and So Yi-hyeon fight and run away from home

Actor In Gyo-jin confessed his concerns.

In the 28th episode of MBC's 'Fathers Who Crossed the Water', which aired on the 16th, Haneul, the daughter of Chinese father Zhao Lijing, was shown participating in an English speaking contest.

Chinese father Zhao Lijing's daughter Sky wrote her own English manuscript, prepared gestures, and burned with passion to participate in the English speaking contest. Zhao Lijing asked her British father, Peter, to check on Haneul, who had worked hard to prepare for the competition.

Haneul used English freely, naturally explaining to Peter that he wrote the manuscript himself. Peter carefully reviewed the manuscript, corrected vocabulary, and checked one-point pronunciation, stress lessons, and actual speech presentations.

On the day of the English speaking contest, Haneul headed to the competition venue fully prepared, not only for speaking but also props and costumes. When Haneul arrived at the competition venue, she looked a bit nervous. Zhao Lijing, who was also nervous, gave advice to the child without stopping, making everyone laugh. Jang Yun-jeong joked, saying, “I should have gone with Uncle Peter.”

When it was Haneul's turn to go on stage, she showed off her speech, hand gestures, voice, and even facial expressions perfectly as she had prepared, as if she had never been nervous. Father Zhao Lijing, who was watching this, was moved to tears again as if he was moved by his child's efforts. Yin Qiaojin, the father of the 'foolish daughter', was in sync with Zhao Lijing and shed tears together, devastating the scene. Jang Yun-jeong said, “It’s a waste of money,” but gave her toilet paper.

The result of the Sky Speech Contest was the grand prize. Haneul expressed her feelings after completing her first speaking contest, saying, “I have a greater desire to take on the challenge next time.”

Instructor Kim Mi-kyung joined the childcare neighborhood meeting. Dads in their 40s continued to discuss their concerns. Alberto confessed, “I’m turning 40 next year, and I’m already feeling anxious,” and “I have a lot of worries about how I should live in the future.” Instructor Kim Mi-kyung said, “‘I’ as a parent and ‘me’ as an individual must grow together in a balanced manner. “Home is a space where children and parents should grow together,” he advised. At the same time, he compared marriage to ‘starting a business’ and children to ‘affiliates’ and said, “The headquarters should be like the headquarters. He emphasized once again, “It’s so important to grow together.”

In Gyo-jin, another father in his 40s, said, “I had a fight with my wife and left home, and I felt depressed because I felt like I was alone. “What should I do in this situation?” he asked. Instructor Kim Mi-kyung said, “This is very good. He comforted me by saying, “The depression that comes to me sometimes without knowing the cause is because my mind is smart and has something to say to me.”
