During the broadcast, Kim Jaejoong expressed concern about his mother's health, mentioning the condition of her knees, pelvis, and ankles. Kim Jaejoong's father expressed his apology to his wife, saying, "I said I would let you live without getting a drop of water on you, but I only made you suffer." Then, Kim Jaejoong's mother shared stories from her past. Some of these stories were new even to Kim Jaejoong, leaving all the cast members astonished.

After marriage, Kim Jaejoong's father worked in the transportation business and lived a stable life, but he suffered a major failure due to business proposals from acquaintances. In the 1980s, he incurred a debt of 100 million won, which was an enormous amount at the time. Kim Jaejoong's father recalled, "I was so shocked by that incident that people didn't recognize me. They called me mentally ill." Kim Jaejoong's mother reminisced, "My husband went through many turbulent hardships. He faced life-threatening situations many times."

Kim Jaejoong's father developed a mental illness from the great shock and lived in a temple for a while. During that time, Kim Jaejoong's mother had to support the livelihood of nine siblings. She made a living by selling goods and working in restaurants. Kim Jaejoong's mother said, "When I think back, even if I wanted to die, I couldn't." Nevertheless, she continued to work hard for her family and found a life-changing opportunity by chance when she started a restaurant. She opened a restaurant in Gongju with a menu featuring jokbal (pig's trotters), sujebi (hand-pulled dough soup), and barley rice, achieving success through word of mouth. She recalled crying with her husband after paying off the entire 100 million won debt within a year.

After hearing his mother's story, Kim Jaejoong expressed amazement and emotion, saying, "Mom, you're amazing." On that day, Kim Jaejoong felt the love of family while making sujebi with his mother. He also made jokbal with his own tips added to his mother's recipe. Their cooking styles and love resembled each other.

Park Tae-hwan also showed fantastic chemistry while cooking with his mother on the broadcast. He visited the family home he bought for his parents when he became world number one in swimming at the age of 19. He hugged his mother tightly and showed affection. It was said that Park Tae-hwan and his mother shared similar athletic abilities and competitive spirit.

The "Mom's Hands Special" is a program where national filial sons, including Kim Jaejoong and Park Tae-hwan, share family love. This special is scheduled to air on Friday the 26th at 8:30 PM. According to reporter Kim Sun-woo, this broadcast is highly anticipated.
