Jang Woo-hyuk, lying on his mother's lap, 'sobbing up a storm'
In the 9th episode of ENA's 'Hyoja Village', which aired on the 29th, the 'filial piety mission' with new resident Kim Buyong was unfolded, filling the home theater with laughter and emotion. In addition, Jang Woo-hyuk and his mother were revealed to be the main characters of 'Flower Viewing', a farewell ritual in Hyojachon, which was shocking and horrifying.
First, MC Ahn Young-mi mentioned the fact that she was pregnant after three years of marriage in the opening, and expressed her thoughts, saying, “I shouted pregnancy as my New Year’s wish on ‘Hyojachon’, and it really felt like a dream.” In particular, when asked about her husband's reaction, Ahn Young-mi devastated the scene by giving an unexpected answer, "My husband had psychopathic tendencies, so he asked me to get tested again the next day."
After a while, the appearance of Hyoja Village, where tension exploded with the appearance of Kim Buyong's mother and son, unfolded. Shin Seong, who confirmed the 'new face' Kim Buyong, made everyone burst into laughter by asking, "Isn't he the cartoonist Kim Poong?" He also added, "I think someone will change," sparking rumors of 'Hyojachon's elimination.' Kim Buyong, who was taken aback by the unexpected reaction, suffered a series of mental breakdowns while attending the 'filial village entrance ceremony' with eye contact with his mother and a pillow on her lap.
As 'Hyoja Golden Bell' progressed, Kim Buyong held his nerve and focused on the problems. However, as strange problems related to parents continued, he responded, “I guess the knee pillow earlier wasn’t a hidden camera~”, which made people laugh. On the other hand, Jang Woo-hyuk caused a malfunction even though the question of guessing 'mother's zodiac sign' was re-tested, and his mother shouted, "Let's go pack a bundle." In the end, Yoo Jae-hwan won the final by correctly guessing his mother's song number 18 and favorite food.
After 'Filial Son Golden Bell', the production team gathered the sons separately and gave them the biggest 'filial piety mission' of all time, saying, "We will take care of our parents all night long so that they can sleep well, and we will prepare gifts and leave them at (our parents') bedside." In response, Jang Woo-hyuk wrote a letter on the whiteboard and showed off his appearance as a 'model student and filial son', but Yoon Ki-won, Yoo Jae-hwan, Shin Seong and Kim Buyong took a 180-degree different approach by sitting around the drinking table and cracking a glass or two.
After quitting the drinking party, Yoo Jae-hwan put aside his filial piety mission and fell into a 'deep sleep', thereby overshadowing the honor of being the winner of 'Filial Son Golden Bell'. Jang Woo-hyuk was embarrassed by the 'unimaginable' incident in which his mother woke up before leaving the letter at her bedside, but he completed the mission beautifully by exchanging touching letters. After preparing couple t-shirts and letters, Buyong Kim touched the hearts of the MCs with his unexpected appearance of watching over his mother's bed until the end. Yoon Ki-won carefully cooked rice, his mother's favorite food, and also made stir-fried round pumpkins to give as a table gift just for his mother.
On the other hand, Yang Jun-hyuk, who returned to Hyoja Village at 1 a.m., received a mission upon arrival and was ecstatic. However, I worked hard to crack the walnuts using a garlic grinder. The next morning, Yang Jun-hyuk’s father said, “Why are you cracking walnuts?” but he was secretly happy.
After the '6 people, 6 colors' filial piety mission, a 'flower viewing' letter arrived to Jang Woo-hyuk's mother, surprising everyone. After a while, Jang Woo-hyuk was lying on his mother's lap by the river, and when his mother said, "Get up now," he burst into tears, saying, "I can't go, Mom." In the end, Jang Woo-hyuk and his mother sobbed as they hugged each other. Attention is focused on whether there is a story behind these mother and son that made them shed such hot tears during 'Flower Viewing'.
After the broadcast, viewers said, “An explosion of tension as to what kind of butterfly effect will occur with the appearance of Kim Boo-yong,” “Today’s wake-up brother was so funny,” and “Welcome to the return of Yang Shin and Yang Jun-hyuk!” “I hope you treat your father twice as well!”, “Jang Woo-hyuk and his mother, is this the end? They gave enthusiastic feedback such as “I’m so sad.”
ENA's 'Hyoja Village' airs every Sunday at 7:40 pm.
