Recently, it was not easy to meet family members living in nursing homes due to social distancing, but we were temporarily allowed to visit this Chuseok.
The family, who had not seen each other in a long time, held hands in the small meeting room to soothe the disappointment of the past.
Reporter Jang Se-man covered the story.

Choi Byung-rok, who has a wife in her 70s with Parkinson's disease, held her hand tightly in two months.
[Byung-rok Choi/Visitor of Nursing Hospital: Do you know who I am?
My face has improved a bit.]
I look closely at every corner to see if my condition has improved.
It has been two months since visits were banned due to the 4th level upgrade in July.
[Byung-rok Choi/Visitor of Nursing Hospital: If I didn't come here, it seemed like I had committed a big sin.
It seems I'm the only one at ease.
I think it's something I can do to come and go even here.]
Ki-soon Shim also found her 80-year-old mother with her father in about two months, and tears were in her eyes.
[Shim Ki-soon/Visitor of Nursing Hospital: I missed you, I missed my mother.
(I missed you.) Seeing you after two months, after two months, who is who?
(Your father.) Who am I?
(You are the eldest daughter.)]
[Sim Ki-soon/Visitor at Nursing Hospital: I am vaccinated, my father is vaccinated, and it is so nice to meet and touch like this.] With
the number of visits ahead of Chuseok, the time given to each family is only about 10 minutes.
As soon as we see each other for a moment, it is the moment of parting again.
When will we meet with peace of mind without worrying about Corona? The steps to turn around are just heavy.
[Sim Ki-soon/Visitor at the nursing hospital: I will be back soon, did you know?
(Don't come too late.) A lot of people love mom, I love you, don't cry.]
