Former announcer and broadcaster Kim Dae-ho reunited with his mentor after 30 years.
In the episode aired on the 30th, Kim Dae-ho was seen visiting his childhood neighborhood filled with memories.
On this day, Kim Dae-ho visited Ansan, his second hometown. He said, "I decided to meet someone very important that I wanted to see for decades. I tried to be polite," raising curiosity.
Kim Dae-ho visited the elementary school he first attended and the apartment complex where he lived as a child. He then met the mothers of his childhood friends and reminisced about old times.
Afterward, Kim Dae-ho went to meet his long-missed mentor. He shared, "Actually, I only got to see the teacher for four months. After living briefly in a rental apartment, I had to move to Yangpyeong due to my father's work, but the homeroom teacher at the school I transferred to sent me a handwritten letter. I didn't know about the letter at the time, but I heard about it later. I was told, 'There is no teacher like this. Be sure to find him later,' and I carried that sentiment for 30 years."
Kim Dae-ho's expression while waiting for his mentor was filled with tension. He said, "I think I would recognize him even if we met on the street. I still remember the teacher's face."
When Kim Dae-ho saw his mentor walking from afar, he burst into tears. He explained, "As the teacher was walking towards me, I heard my childhood voice in my ear. When I called out 'Teacher,' it was the voice of the child Kim Dae-ho, not the adult. That's why I couldn't hold back my tears. In that short moment, I became a child again. I couldn't stop crying."
Kim Dae-ho reminisced while looking at the scanned photos his mentor brought. Seeing this, Jeon Hyun-moo and Park Na-rae commented, "He just looks like a fellow teacher," and "The teacher doesn't have any gray hair." Giann84 also humorously remarked, "Only time has passed for Kim Dae-ho."
