The viewer rating was 6.6% based on Nielsen Korea's national tally, and Seo-jin's scene of being surprised by the amount of money ordered by his parents for kiosks showed the highest viewership of 7.8%.
In particular, the ratings are the second-largest in all programs, including dramas, entertainment, and liberal arts, including terrestrial, cable, and general programming channels, and 2049 ratings, a key indicator of advertising officials, also recorded high numbers, proving their steady popularity.
Park Seo-jin's video was released with the main character of the group THE BOYZ as a special guest on the day. Park Seo-jin's parents, who are staying at Park Seo-jin's house ahead of the move, were uncomfortable because they could not turn on the induction. Hyojung taught her mother how to use induction and then made bibimbap with fried eggs for breakfast together. Ju-yeon saw Hyo-jung perform a bibimbap mukbang with a spatula and said, `It would be so cute to have a younger brother like that. If you eat that well, you'll want to buy it for me," he said with a smile. Seo-jin responded, `No, I can't. I'm getting sick.'
Park Seo-jin then mentioned that his father said he wanted to travel to Ulleungdo at the 70th birthday party. Park Seo-jin was surprised to receive a call from his brother Hyo-young to go on a trip first. I think my brother has changed a lot since the 70th birthday party." After that, Hyo-jung asked her father what he thought about traveling abroad, and he refused, saying, `It's uncomfortable to go abroad because it's expensive to travel abroad and I can't speak English.' However, since then, the father has made "Seojin's sweat by playing the janggu, but his parents must not be generous." So what I thought of was Ulleungdo."
Park Seo-jin then asked about Ulleungdo Island using artificial intelligence (AI) ChatGPT, and his parents were surprised to see AI talking naturally like humans. AI said of Park Seo-jin "Park Seo-jin is warm. But it's not idol-style handsomeness. My mother-in-law would like it" he explained. When Hyojung asked about the completion of Park Seo-jin's plastic surgery, he answered that "Park Seo-jin's plastic surgery completion is quite high." Following the detailed description of the plastic surgery part and cost, there was also an evaluation that it was not possible to see the physiognomy from the perspective of a physiognomist, as evidenced by the joke that he did everything except ears and eyeballs," he said, drawing laughter by giving a specific answer.
Afterwards, Park Seo-jin taught her parents how to use the taxi app for their digital adaptation. Looking at Seo-jin's parents who have difficulty using the app, MC Eun Ji-won sympathizes greatly and "I'm also new to the taxi app. The taxi surprised everyone by confessing that he had only caught it by waving his hand. Baek Ji-young responded to Eun Ji-won, saying, `You must meet a woman with a lot of life. (Wife-to-be) You have a life history, right?" asked, and Eun Ji-won responded, "Well, then, it's all crisp in that direction," drawing attention.
The next day, Park Seo-jin prepared a special mission to help her parents adapt to digital. He "My parents were hesitant and afraid of new things. I wanted to help you overcome it because I can't be next to you every time. He said, expressing his realistic concerns and sincerity. Juyeon also added words of support, saying, `I think it will be very useful if you learn it.'
The first mission was to use the app to take a taxi to reach the restaurant, the place of appointment. My parents tried to use the taxi app as they learned from my brother and sister, but in the end, they failed, and "I couldn't do it well maybe because I was nervous." Eun Ji-won, who was watching the video, said "I also feel lost thinking about it. When did this era come. If I'm not used to using digital devices, I'm annoyed and give up, but the elderly will be dead."
Eventually, my parents arrived at the restaurant with difficulty by catching an empty taxi in person between the reserved vehicles, but another mission was waiting soon after. Ordering food using kiosks. Parents were greatly embarrassed by unexpected variables such as unfamiliar screen composition, selection of various options, and initialization due to timeouts, and when his father tried to find and press the 'employee call', Park Seo-jin stopped it and made them laugh.
However, thanks to the waiting and support of the siblings, the parents did not give up and finally succeeded in ordering the kiosk. Excited by the joy, he even ordered more than 300,000 won worth of food, surprising everyone, but the family enjoyed the food together and shared another warm smile. Park Seo-jin said "I wondered how patient my parents would have waited and raised me when I was young. Now, I'm going to be patient and tell you a lot about it,' he said.
The digital mission prepared by Park Seo-jin and his siblings for their parents on this day was a meaningful challenge to narrow the digital gap between generations beyond simple experiences. The appearance of parents courageously approaching unfamiliar and difficult but necessary changes left deep sympathy and lingering feelings for many viewers, and the video solved the digital alienation problem in real life cheerfully and sincerely, showing that broadcasting can be a healthy content that leads to understanding between families and communication between generations.

Park Seo-jin, who was delivering various tips to Ji Sang-ryul, stressed that the biggest gift is to reveal new relationships. The MCs mentioned Kang Ye-na, a ballerina-turned-actor who created a pink atmosphere earlier, and Ji Sang-ryul told Park Seo-jin "You talked about Hyun-sook a lot last time?," he said, drawing laughter by saying new relationships one after the other.
The motivated guide Ji Sang-ryul struggled and led the trip, but he was criticized for his sloppy appearance. He was criticized for his lack of parasols and poor photography skills. In response, Ji Sang-ryul took off his clothes and rolled around the sandy beach to express his anger, and eventually made people laugh by his unpredictable behavior of jumping into the sea.
Later, Ji Sang-ryul enjoyed delicious food with her in-laws and revealed a rare strong and affectionate family relationship between her in-laws. In particular, his brother-in-law's siblings thanked him, mentioning an episode in which Ji Sang-ryul stopped by the hospital to wipe his parents' hands and feet when his parents were alive.

Ji Sang-ryul attempted to make a video call for the sisters of Park Seo-jin, who claimed to be a fan of Park Seo-jin, and made the family laugh at Park Seo-jin's witty remarks and unusual fan service.
Next, I headed to the temple where my sister-in-law's parents were enshrined. They conveyed their family history at the temple and expressed their gratitude for the hard work of their sister-in-law Ji Sang-ryul. Instead of my sisters living abroad, my sister-in-law, who had struggled for about 40 years, taking care of not only her parents for 30 years but also all the adults in-laws, shed tears as she confessed for the first time, saying, `It's just that I haven't said anything, but it's been really hard.'
Eventually, the sister-in-law recalled the past when she collapsed from angina while caring for adults. He said "I remember Uncle Sang-ryeol 'My sister-in-law, I'm here. Don't worry about it. The words 'nothing will happen' touched my heart so much. I was so grateful for that." In addition, Ji Sang-ryul and his sister-in-law's family cheered for his brother, who is about to undergo brain tumor surgery.
