[SBS Special] Seven years after the Pepe family's madness ②
Will the Pepe family go on a family trip again today in 2020?
In the SBS special broadcast on the 18th, under the subtitle '7 years after the crazy things of the Peppa family','The Peppa Family', who went on a family trip that no one thought of seven years ago, was illuminated.
Seven years ago, Dong-ik Choi, the father of the Pepe family, left Ulsan on a modified bus with his family and went on a one-year trip across the Eurasian continent.
In particular, this trip was a trip in which all three children had to drop out and leave, and some drew envy and others criticized it.
And what kind of life do they live now after 7 years?
Second, Jin-young Choi admitted that after his trip seven years ago, a lot of changes have been made to his life.
He said, "I thought it was natural to graduate from school and work in a company, but it seems like I have a broader view of doing what I like and finding a different direction in my life, not the existing framework."
Choi Jin-woo, who was a middle school student seven years ago, is 23 years old this year.
What does traveling 7 years ago mean to him?
He said, "It's romantic, but I want to go back, but if I tell you to go back, I won't go."
Choi Dong-ik, the organizer of this trip.
He recalled the past, "I said this was crazy, but we thought it was crazy and reckless."
My mother had a similar idea.
So why did the father, who planned this trip seven years ago, make that decision?
Mr. Choi Dong-ik explained, "I didn't have much memories of looking in one direction with my wife until then. I made that decision while thinking about what I could do with my family that could become a turning point with various thoughts piled up."
And the mother said, "I was delighted the moment I heard the story of the trip," he said. "I had school problems, but I asked the children what to do and made a decision. I was worried, but I was excited about leaving."
Choi Dong-ik, a couple recently active as travel video creators.
He said, "I am currently uploading a video of my wife and their domestic travel," and "I hope this goes well so that more people can see and relate to the Eurasia travel video."
Before going on a trip, he sold his apartment, made a bus Mutali, and built a pep house with his family with the rest of the money.
The design and the process of building the house were created by five families.
Jinwoo, the youngest son, who is in charge of editing the videos filmed by the couple, edited the family travel video of the last 7 years and produced 55 videos.
In response, Mr. Jin-woo said, "At first, it crumbled, so it was difficult to see the video. But after watching it for a few months, I lost my mind. It seems that it was attractive in its own way," he said about the past travel video.
And the video he made attracted tens of thousands of subscribers.
In response, Mr. Choi Dong-ik said, "When I started uploading the video, I wrote a family contract. I didn't even have an advertisement, but I started writing the contract," he said. "When there was a profit, we divided each stake. I also put in a phrase to keep each other secret."
His wife explained the proceeds, saying, "It's up to you to think about it, but I'm satisfied and grateful. It's not a lot, but I think I bought what I wanted to buy and the rest of it seems to be helping the house."
Second, Choi Jin-young, who became a social worker due to his underweight, said, "I get stressed. I don't tell fat people that I'm fat, but that's stressful because I keep talking about skinny."
Dayun, my first daughter, who was 19 years old seven years ago, said she now sees something she didn't think about.
He said, "I think of my parents first. I just liked it because I was with my family. Nana and my younger siblings just enjoyed the trip and didn't have to think about anything else." Said.
And he said about the trip seven years ago, "Others would say it was a trip, but for me it was a life rather than a trip. I lived that way for a year."
In addition, the youngest said that he had no regrets about the trip seven years ago, and said, "It is regrettable that I did not live in junior high school, but I have no regrets for that because I finished 3 years in high school. High school is enough."
Second, he said, "I wonder if it would be happier to live a life that fits the frame," he said, and that he is happier in his life now.
Children who dropped out of school and took the GED instead of going to school.
In response, the father said, "We have no talent for studying at school, and we have no children. But there are talents on the other side," he said. "My children will not be able to go to a good university through study and contribute to society. It will be a boon to society," he said, showing his trust in children.
The first daughter who said that building a house together as part of a family trip, called crazy, was the driving force in her life.
Will he leave if he travels again in 2020?
My mother said, "Of course I like it. I may say that my mother is too mature, but I liked the time."
And my father said, "Obviously, the kids are good, so I'm going to go with them. I want to go on a trip again."
What do the children think?
Second, he said, "I go anywhere under the premise that my family is going with each other. I won't go even if three of us are told. I won't go unless all five people get together."
Are your sister and younger brother the same mind?
The youngest said, "I didn't have bad memories at that time, but I don't know about traveling around the world. I don't think I'm going."
And first, he said firmly, "I don't think I will go.
However, as only those who risk going far can know how far they can go, only the Pepe family will know what they have learned through travel.
