Yoo Se-yoon implemented an ingenious teaching method for her son who said he didn't want to write a diary.

MC Yoo Se-yoon of Channel A's 'Family Beyond the Line' reveals the unusual teaching method of a 'comedian dad', saying, "I asked my son, who hated writing a diary, one strange question every day and made him write the answer."

In the 24th episode of Channel A's 'Family Beyond the Line', which airs at 9:40 pm on the 8th, the 'Nordic Hygge Life' of Jihee Son The scene of the large family party of 'Mexican 12 Siblings' by Hanna Kim and Rigoberto, 'Sunnum Fam' in Chicago, USA, is unfolding. Studio guests include Leo from Finland, Christian from Mexico, and Sam Hammington from Australia, an expert on Southeast Asia, who provide insightful insights into the characteristics of each cultural region.

Among them, Jihee Son and Mark, who in the last broadcast captured attention by giving a tour of the 'Lego Headquarters' where husband Mark works and live in 'Lego Headquarters Village', said on this day, "We will show the representative 'hygge culture' of Northern Europe this weekend." He reveals his daily life of enjoying leisure time with his family. They gather together in the front yard of the house to bake and eat snowbrød, a ‘Danish-style twist,’ and then set up a ‘kimchi mat’ indoors and try ‘Korean-style Lego assembly.’ Mark begins assembling various ‘masks’, including Korean-style kimbap, Hahoe mask, and Gaksi mask. The studio exclaims, “It’s so different!” at the result, completed with the technician’s delicate touch.

MC Yoo Se-yoon also adds his own experience to the special teaching method of Son Ji-hee and Mark, who learn Korean culture naturally by assembling Lego. He explains, "When my son Minha was in elementary school, he had to keep a diary, but he hated it. After thinking about it, I changed the method to asking him one random question a day and letting him answer, and he quickly adapted." He continued, "I once asked my child, 'If you couldn't see from tomorrow, what would you want to see for the last time?' and my son's answer surprised me." The message evokes admiration.

Jihee Son and Mark's family invite family members of their co-workers who enjoy 'hygge gatherings' to their home and take on the challenge of making Korean-style dumplings. The family even forgets to ask questions and focuses only on making dumplings. Yoo Se-yoon, who was frustrated with the quiet atmosphere, asks, “Can’t you just giggle?” He joked, “Isn’t it necessary to sometimes add wasabi to the dumpling filling to make it even better?” In response, Leo from Finland declared, “It doesn’t fit the hygge feel so it’s banned!”, making the scene burst into laughter.

The results and 'taste test' of K-dumplings made by international families together, as well as the identity of their unique hygge culture, can be seen in the 24th episode of Channel A's 'Family Beyond the Line', which airs at 9:40 pm on the 8th.
