Singer and actor Lee Seung-gi offers warm encouragement in honor of the 'Family Month' initiative.

On May 2 at 6 p.m., Lee Seung-gi will appear on KBS 1TV's 'Donghaeng' to show his support for the Hyunseong family.

An old slate house in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, built 80 years ago. There, Hyunseong (12), preparing to go to school early in the morning, is waiting. Now entering middle school, Hyunseong says many things have changed. Though not yet fully skilled, he helps his mother, Mi-ae (46), prepare breakfast, and even takes the bus to school alone, a route he used to walk with his mother. Despite his spirited nature, Hyunseong remains a source of constant worry and care for his mother.

Hyunseong was diagnosed with language and developmental disorders in the sixth grade of elementary school. Sometimes keeping up with classes is overwhelming, and due to his awkward pronunciation, he was even bullied by classmates. Whenever this happened, his grandparents and mother were always there to comfort him. Today, Hyunseong is diligently receiving treatment at a language therapy center, slowly finding his own pace.

Hyunseong has found a way to express his gratitude to his family: coffee mix. While all coffee mixes may seem similar, the family unanimously agrees that the one Hyunseong prepares is different. What Hyunseong has poured into the coffee mix is his wish for his family to stay healthy and live long without illness.

Recently, grandfather Byeong-geun (81) is filled with worry for his daughter and grandson. In fact, not only Hyunseong but also his mother has been found to have insufficient cognitive abilities. She recently completed a borderline cognitive impairment assessment and is now preparing for a review to receive an official disability diagnosis. Although he had long been aware of his daughter's limitations, the grandfather was reluctant to have her officially diagnosed. He raised his youngest of five children with great care and arranged her marriage through a matchmaker, but she eventually divorced her husband, who had concealed his debt and continued to argue with her.

The grandfather wanted to be a strong pillar of support for his disabled daughter and grandson. Recently, his health has rapidly deteriorated, yet he continues to move tirelessly for his family. Always following closely behind him is none other than Hyunseong. After school, Hyunseong heads straight to his grandfather's field. Helping with the farm work, he acts like a shadow, fetching water directly by his grandfather's side and closely watching over him. Every time he sees Hyunseong doing this, the grandfather feels filled with gratitude and pride.

To support the Hyunseong family, singer and actor Lee Seung-gi, who has maintained a long-standing connection with 'Donghaeng', steps forward. Lee visits the family's vegetable garden, which has become an important part of their lives, and meets Hyunseong and his grandfather. Together, they carry water that Hyunseong had previously struggled to fetch alone, and harvest crops that Hyunseong and his grandfather have carefully tended, doing their utmost to assist with the farm work.

Next, Lee makes a surprise visit to the Hyunseong family's home. Curious about the taste of the coffee mix Hyunseong prepares, he is served coffee with extra care by Hyunseong, more so than ever before. Lee listens to the heartfelt story of the Hyunseong family, who truly love and care for one another, and gently soothes the worries of the grandfather and grandmother. Together, they consider what kind of support the Hyunseong family needs. As the Hyunseong family dreams of a bright future and moves forward toward hope, this May, during Family Month, viewers will experience a special and heartwarming journey with singer and actor Lee Seung-gi and the Hyunseong family.
