[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Hee-eun Park] Poppin Hyun-jun and his family spent a heartfelt time honoring their late father.

On the 11th, on KBS 2TV's "Men Who Do Housework Season 2" (hereafter "Sallimnam2"), Poppin Hyun-jun visited the place where his father rests with his mother and family.

First, Poppin Hyun-jun visited a sheep ranch with his mother and family. His daughter Yesul happily played with the sheep and said, "It was so amazing to see them in person."

Then, the family got into a car and headed somewhere else. His mother, looking puzzled, glanced out the window and said, "Isn't this the way to where Dad is? How did you think of coming here?" but also expressed her affection by saying, "Then you should have brought something."

He laid his father to rest in a tree burial site in the forest next to a temple. Poppin Hyun-jun described the place as "the spot Dad liked the most during his lifetime." He added, "Dad passed away in 2005 and donated his body. Until the very end, he donated his body for others."

That day, Yesul, who came to see her grandfather, sang the children's song "Sando Kkaebi" and gifted a drawing she made to her grandfather. The family looked at granddaughter Yesul with admiration.

Poppin Hyun-jun’s mother, who came to see her husband, shed tears saying, "If only I had endured a little longer, I could have seen such a beautiful sight. I'm sorry for living to see only the beautiful side. I miss him."

In an interview, the production team asked the mother, "When did you miss your husband the most?" She revealed her feelings, saying, "Before we had navigation systems, my husband was like a human GPS. Now that I travel alone on the roads we used to take together, I talk to myself in the car, saying, 'Hyun-jun, Dad, I’m passing by here.'"
