[Sportschosun Lee Woo-joo] Jang Min-ho is moved to tears by the story of Lee Soo-yeon and her grandmother on "Fun-Staurant."
On the June 18 episode of KBS 2TV's "Fun-Staurant," the kind-hearted uncle Jang Min-ho invites 13-year-old trot star Lee Soo-yeon and her grandmother to a homakase meal. The grandmother's love for her granddaughter and Lee Soo-yeon's thoughtfulness toward her grandmother reportedly brought the studio to tears, heightening curiosity.
In the VCR segment revealed that day, Jang Min-ho stepped in as a one-day cooking teacher for his adorable niece, Lee Soo-yeon. Lee wanted to make a meal for her grandparents, who have worked hard to support her. With Jang Min-ho's help, she completed the dish. Viewers are now wondering how her grandmother reacted to her granddaughter's first-ever homemade meal.
Along with the touching cooking segment, the story of Lee Soo-yeon and her grandmother was also shared. After her father died when she was 7, Lee Soo-yeon was raised by her grandparents. Her grandmother said, "People told me to bury my grief in my heart, but I couldn't. At the time, I struggled with depression and social anxiety." The broadcast also revealed how her granddaughter once made her laugh during those days filled with tears. What did the thoughtful child do to cheer up her grieving grandmother?
To support their remarkably thoughtful granddaughter, Lee Soo-yeon's grandparents have been doing everything they can. Her grandmother said, "We are saving all of Soo-yeon's income. Until she is old enough to manage her own money, we want to keep saving it for her." In fact, the two have not spent even a single won of Lee Soo-yeon's earnings and are making a separate living for themselves. Jang Min-ho expressed his support, saying, "They are truly amazing."
Lee Soo-yeon reportedly moved the studio to tears when she said, "I'm fine, so please use it," and then firmly vowed, "I will take responsibility." The reason the 13-year-old said she would "take responsibility," the love her grandparents have for her, and Jang Min-ho's feelings as he watches the thoughtful young girl will be revealed on KBS 2TV's "Fun-Staurant" at 10 p.m. on Thursday, June 18, after "North America World Cup NOW" ends.
