Comedian Park Na-rae had an emotional moment while organizing her grandparents' house, filled with everyone's memories. She was accompanied by her supportive two older brothers, Jeon Hyun-moo and Ki-an 84.
In the episode of MBC's entertainment program 'I Live Alone' aired on the 26th, Park Na-rae was depicted visiting her late grandparents' house.
After a long time, Park Na-rae found it hard to step forward as she stood in front of her grandparents' house. Carefully, she greeted, "Grandma, Grandpa, Na-rae is here," and opened the door, but instead of the warm smiles that used to greet her, only the overgrown weeds spoke of the passage of time. Eventually, Park Na-rae sat down and burst into tears.
Park Na-rae shared, "After my grandparents passed away, I didn't have a healthy mourning period. I dream about them every day, and in my dreams, my grandma is very healthy. When I wake up, I think it's real, but then 10 minutes later, I remember, 'Oh, my grandma has passed away,' and I suddenly cry. That's why I couldn't go home, thinking my mental state would collapse."
She wept, saying, "I came too late," as she pulled out the weeds with her bare hands, and soon the yard was piled high with the weeds she had removed. Just then, her strong support team, Jeon Hyun-moo and Ki-an 84, who are like her real brothers, appeared.
Upon hearing that Park Na-rae was organizing her grandparents' house alone, they readily volunteered to help. This was their first visit in about eight years since 'Summer Na-rae School.' Jeon Hyun-moo and Ki-an 84 expressed their affection, saying, "It's a place that holds memories for us too, even if not as much as for Na-rae," and comforted her.
While organizing the house, Park Na-rae found her grandmother's kimchi container in the refrigerator, which brought her to tears again. The kimchi held special memories, making her tears flow even more. Jeon Hyun-moo and Ki-an 84 quietly stayed by her side, offering silent comfort, even though they were clumsy.
Later, Jeon Hyun-moo declared, "I will pull out the roots," and fought against the weeds that had taken over the yard, while Ki-an 84 showcased his 'Dolsoe84' side by effortlessly moving heavy items. Despite the rain pouring down, the three continued to organize the house, and Park Na-rae expressed her heartfelt gratitude. At the end of the broadcast, they even recreated a scene that recalled memories from eight years ago, bringing smiles amidst the tears.
This episode allowed Park Na-rae to confront her memories with her grandparents and have a mourning period, supported by her two brothers. Tears and laughter coexisted, highlighting the strong friendship of the rainbow family as they comforted and supported each other.
Immediately after the broadcast, viewers reacted passionately, saying, "I cried along while watching," "This is what real family and friends are," and "I can totally relate to Na-rae's emotional reaction to the kimchi container."
