Grandmother of singer Lee Soo-yeon expressed her warm affection for her granddaughter.
In the episode of KBS 2TV's variety program 'Shinsangchulsi Pyeonstaurant' (hereinafter 'Pyeonstaurant') aired on the 18th, Jang Min-ho was shown inviting 13-year-old trot fairy Lee Soo-yeon and her grandmother to 'Homakase'.
That day, Jang Min-ho invited Soo-yeon and made her favorite food, grilled beef intestines. Soo-yeon then said, "Grandma, Grandpa, my wedding anniversary is coming up, so I wanted to cook for you, which is why I came to find my uncle." Jang Min-ho then transformed into Soo-yeon's one-day cooking teacher. Following Jang Min-ho's coaching, Soo-yeon made her first-ever dish, Gyeongju-style cheese bulgogi and zucchini gochujang stew, which she was able to serve to her grandmother.

Jang Min-ho told the grandmother, "Soo-yeon is doing so well, you must be feeling very happy." The grandmother replied, "Even when I look at myself, sometimes I wonder if this is a dream. Since everyone around me treats me so well and I am loved wherever I go, I feel good."
The grandmother then mentioned Soo-yeon's father, who passed away when Soo-yeon was 7 years old. Regarding her father, Soo-yeon said, "I remember he was a prankster. I am a real prankster too." The grandmother added, "I don't know if Grandpa will be upset, but I relied more on my son, so I had a harder time. People ask me about it, but I can't talk about it. For about two years, I dealt with depression, social anxiety, and wondered how to care for Soo-yeon. My heart was so broken. Our Soo-yeon is the laughter virus of the house. After Dad left, Soo-yeon tried to comfort me in her own way, but at the time, I couldn't really hear her. When Soo-yeon sang, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. That's when Grandpa said, 'Should we send Soo-yeon to Seoul?'" as she recalled the past.
Jang Min-ho, thinking of the late father's reaction, said, "I think he would be so happy to see Soo-yeon doing so well." The grandmother chimed in, "He would be extremely proud. He would probably jump around like a manager."
The grandmother explained, "The reason Grandpa is still so worried is that he says he must somehow survive healthily until Soo-yeon turns 19 to take care of her. That's why Grandpa's hands are not in good shape. He has worked too much." Jang Min-ho asked, "Doesn't Soo-yeon earn an income?"
The grandmother responded, "All of Soo-yeon's income is saved. Everything is recorded with where and how much. We thought that until Soo-yeon turns 19, we should save it for her until she learns money management." This surprised everyone. Jang Min-ho added, "It seems Soo-yeon's earnings were not touched even by a single won."
Soo-yeon said, "I keep begging them to please use it, but Grandpa scolds me. He says no." The MCs exclaimed, "She is such a filial daughter."
