On the 9th special anniversary of the SBS variety show My old babyThe actor Yoon Shi Yoon took a memorable journey to Mongolia with his mother, marking his first appearance on television.
While appearing at the airport, the study buzzed at the sight of the elegant mother of Yoon, her youthful appearance was astonished everyone. The show panel has affectionately nicknamed it to “True beauty” and joked, “Are you really your mother or a dramatic actress?”
The segment highlighted the contrasting travel styles of the duo: Yoon Shi Yoon arrived with two large bags and a detailed itinerary, while her mother traveled on the light. His insistence on rigid programs and compulsive organization has led to the tension, in particular due to a certain habit not mentioned by his mother who visibly anguished him. The observers in the studio commented, “Now let’s see why he doesn’t go to his son’s house!”
But the real emotional weight of the episode came when Yoon and his mother discussed their past.
His mother, who became a parent at a young age, shared that she had been forced by financial difficulties to leave Baby Yoon, only 100 days – to her grandmother’s house. The excruciating result? The young Yoon could not even call her “mom” in public.
He also remembered a painful moment from his school days. Unable to participate in his sporting day because of the work, he rushed during a short break only to attend a heartbreaking scene, one that still brings tears to his eyes. Moved by her pain, Yoon comforted her, finally sharing the emotions she had held for years.
The conductor Shin Dong Yeop was visibly emotional, noticing similarities with his childhood.
The complete episode aired on August 17th at 21:00 KST and resounded deeply with the spectators, offering a rare and sincere look in the personal life of the typically cheerful actor.
