‘Dads from across the water’ Chinese father Zhao Li-jing said he was worried that the ‘four bottles of elementary school’ would come to his daughter Haneul, and went on a trip alone with his daughter before puberty. Jang Yoon-jung, In Gyo-jin, and Kim Na-young agreed that children should prepare for their puberty period.
In the 8th episode of MBC’s ‘Dads Who Crossed the Water’ (directed by Im Chan), which aired on the 16th, the 2nd episode of the trip to Jeju Island of Chinese father Zhao Li-jing and daughter Haneul-i and the joint parenting of South African father Andy and Indian father Tumul was drawn.
The best minute was the scene where fathers sweat because of Laila and Dana, who forgot to sleep, and recorded 2.4% (Nielsen Korea, metropolitan area standards).
Chinese father Zhao Lijing said, “I was surprised to hear that puberty sometimes occurred when I was in the fourth grade of elementary school. Haneul is in 4th grade, and it was sad that she only told her mother the secrets of friendship. She went on a trip alone before puberty,” he said.
In Gyo-jin said, “At our time, it was called the 2nd bottle, but these days, it is called the 4th bottle. The period of puberty has accelerated.” Kim Na-young asked regarding her father’s teenage years, saying, “Raising two boys makes me scared every day they grow up.”
“My puberty came late around the age of 20,” said Andy, a South African father. Everyone hated it,” he recalled. Azerbaijani father Nihat said, “I wanted to do the opposite of what her mother said,” and Italian father Alberto said, “I fought every day and I was unconditionally opposed to what my father said.”
Kim Na-young, who listened carefully to the fathers, said, “I think I will cry when I imagine the puberty of children. I’m worried I’ll get hurt,” she said. In Gyo-jin said, “So when puberty comes, my assertion will become stronger, so I brainwash myself every day to respond coolly.” Jang Yoon-jung said, “That’s right. You have to be prepared,” she agreed.
Zhao Lijing and Haneul started their trip wearing orange couple looks. In particular, her father prepared a mandarin orange hat and put it on Haneul. Italian father Alberto, who saw this, said, “Heaven is definitely not a teenager. If it were puberty, she would have said, ‘What is a dad?'” he said, making everyone smile.
Then, as if remembering a class episode, Kim Na-young said, “CNU has gone to a new institution. Usually I cut my hair short, but this time, he got angry and said, ‘How am I going to get there with this haircut? When she insisted strongly, she felt sad that the child had already grown this much,” she said, drawing attention.
Like a schoolboy, Haneul took the role of a daily guide by writing down the history and characteristics of Jeju Island in her notebook for a trip with her father. Their first date course kayaking was canceled due to strong winds. Skye tried to hide her sad heart. After that, her daughter and daughter ate mackerel sashimi and sea urchin soup, and rode a cart. At this time, Haneul boasted a high tension that she had never seen before, burning her desire to win and gathering her attention.
On the other hand, the joint parenting of South African father Andy and Indian father Tumul faced a major crisis. Layla and Dana had a subtle nervous battle over the doll. Lila tried to take her doll from her baby, and she ended up yelling at her, “It’s Layla,” creating a sweaty situation in her hands. While the children were in a nerve war and reconciled, the throwing water in the middle was sweating and causing a salty smell.
Jang Yoon-jung said, “When I tell the children not to fight, one of them complains. In my family, when I say, ‘I can’t raise both because the kids fight,’ Do Kyung-wan accepts, ‘If we fight in the future, let’s throw one away’. Then Yeon-woo and Ha-young look at each other and play well.”
After that, the two families ate a delicious barbecue prepared by Andy and spent time to calm down like a war. The two fathers drank beer in their spare time with their children who do not intend to fall asleep, forming a sympathy for parenting. And the next day, we finished the joint childcare for 2 days and 1 night by riding the kick board that Andy had prepared.
At the end of the broadcast, two million YouTubers Sam Oliver and his daughter Cherry were expected to appear, raising expectations.
The global parenting community association ‘Dads from across the water’ is broadcast every Sunday at 9:10 pm following childcare work.
