The story of Choo Sarang, daughter of Choo Sung-hoon, failing her first modeling audition and her journey of overcoming it has been revealed.

On the broadcast of ENA's Sunday variety show 'My Child's Private Life' (hereafter 'My Life') on the 6th, the story unfolded of Sarang, who completed her first modeling audition, and the Dodo siblings, Yeon-woo and Ha-young, who took their grandparents, celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, on a grandchild tour to Gyeongju.

Sarang, who was challenging her first modeling audition, made it to the second test. Based on the feedback from the first test, she showed a much-improved version of herself, which moved not only the studio's Yano Shiho but also the viewers. Unfortunately, the result was a failure, but it became a valuable experience and a growth opportunity for Sarang.

Her mother, Yano Shiho, shared her own audition story from her twenties, offering warm comfort by saying, "There is always a shadow for a shining person. After falling, you rise again." She then humorously sent a serious message to the designer who rejected her daughter, saying, "One day, Sarang will be picked by that person. Just wait, Minju Kim!"

Later, at Yano Shiho's photoshoot, Choo Sung-hoon arrived with kimbap. While Yano Shiho was shooting a luxury jewelry photoshoot that she received as a gift from Choo Sung-hoon in the past, she expressed her affection by saying, "I prefer kimbap over diamonds." Leaving Yano Shiho, who had to continue shooting, Choo Sung-hoon and Sarang went on a date. Yano Shiho gifted her card to the two, who were going on a date after a long time.

Choo Sung-hoon, despite saying, "I'm so busy I might collapse," took a day off just for Sarang. In return, Sarang prepared a date course for her dad. Inspired by a girl who traveled the world by small plane at the age of 14, Sarang went to ride a small plane with her dad. The two met in the sky, each on different planes. Sarang read a letter she had written in advance to her dad through the radio.

In the letter, Sarang expressed, "It's okay that you're busy, Dad. You look cool when you work," and conveyed, "Dad is Sarang's superhero." Choo Sung-hoon replied, "I'm sorry I don't have time to spend with Sarang, and being busy is temporary, so I want to work hard, earn a lot of money, and make many memories with Sarang. Please wait a little longer."

Seeing them, Yano Shiho mentioned, "I fixed the chat with Grandpa at the top of Sarang's messenger app," and added, "After experiencing separation, I think she feels that there is no time left to convey her feelings." The warm story of the Choo family, who conveyed their feelings to each other, moved the viewers and reminded everyone how important it is to express love even among close relationships.

Meanwhile, the Dodo siblings, Yeon-woo and Ha-young, planned a special trip to Gyeongju, the honeymoon destination for their grandparents, who were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Although there was a mishap of missing the train, they showed perfect execution after arriving. Yeon-woo, who reserved the vehicle himself, created a rich itinerary that included a Korean buffet perfectly suited to their grandparents' tastes and Bulguksa, filled with memories of the Do family.

Additionally, remembering his grandmother's wish to wear a dress, Yeon-woo planned a reminder wedding photoshoot for the couple. Dressed in a beautiful dress and suit, the two posed as a lovely couple, and Do Kyung-wan, who was watching, shyly remarked, "It's the first time I've seen my parents so close together."

Yeon-woo's gifts didn't end there. He pre-recorded a congratulatory video message from his dad, Do Kyung-wan, to present to his grandparents. Upon seeing it, his grandmother shed tears, saying, "Kyung-wan is a late child who lost a child and had a hard time having him. He is a precious being that cannot be exchanged for anything," while his grandfather expressed, "He is a proud son who always makes me happy, and I have nothing more to wish for."

At the end of the shoot, the grandfather requested a separate portrait from the photographer. The studio became a sea of tears at the grandfather's wish to leave a beautiful longevity photo on that day. Do Kyung-wan expressed gratitude for Yeon-woo's thoughtfulness, saying, "I'm thankful that we can prepare for separation so beautifully." Even if they face separation someday, the warm memories of that day will remain in the hearts of the entire Do family for a long time.

Meanwhile, in the preview released at the end of the broadcast, Do Ah was seen going on a temple stay with the puppy, Seong-tan, capturing the viewers' attention. ENA's Sunday variety show 'My Child's Private Life' airs every Sunday at 7:50 PM.
