Lee Hye-won from Channel A's 'Family that Crosses the Line' honestly admits, "When raising children in Europe, there were many 'field trips' with their dad, and I often argued with the busy Ahn Jung-hwan."
In the 84th episode of Channel A's 'Family that Crosses the Line,' airing tonight at 8:10 p.m., the 'Danish Family' Son Ji-hee and Mark will appear alongside the Morgan-Robin sisters, engaging in a field trip to explore Odense, the hometown of Hans Christian Andersen, the author of 'The Ugly Duckling,' 'The Emperor's New Clothes,' 'The Little Mermaid,' and 'The Princess and the Pea.'
That day, Son Ji-hee and Mark introduce the Nordic educational system while picking up their two daughters from school on their bikes. The 'Danish Family,' which previously caused a 'culture shock' by saying, "In Danish kindergartens, children are taught to raise chickens and even to butcher them for the dinner table," explains that when children turn 6 and enter elementary school, they go through 10 years of primary and secondary education, and subsequent higher education is optional.
The 'Danish Family' then states, "Morgan's school has a curriculum where families go on field trips based on specific themes and present them in writings or drawings," and announces, "In line with this week's theme of 'fairy tales,' we plan to go to Odense, the hometown of Andersen."
Watching this, Lee Hye-won expresses, "When raising children in Europe, there were always such field trips, and parents were required to accompany them. Moreover, there were experiences that involved 'dad.' But isn't this dad (Ahn Jung-hwan) too busy?" He starts venting frustrations, revealing, "That was the part where we argued the most when we first raised our children together." Ahn Jung-hwan rebuts, saying, "I did a lot too," but Lee Hye-won quickly retorts, "Later! (You did, right?)," displaying the genuine couple's chemistry.
Meanwhile, Lee Hye-won shares, "Actually, when raising children in Europe, I wanted to tap into my 'Korean mom' instincts and push for 'premature learning.' However, I found it frustrating because there is no concept of 'textbooks' in schools." In contrast, Song Jin-woo points out, "That's why children have no stress."
On the other hand, upon arriving in Odense, the 'Danish Family' begins their exploration at Hans Christian Andersen's childhood home, visiting an 'immersive museum' where they can experience Andersen's fairy tales through all five senses. Additionally, they check into the 'Lego Castle Hotel,' a reconstruction of a medieval castle made of blocks, to showcase this unique space.
The whimsical outing presented by the 'Danish Family' can be seen in the 84th episode of Channel A's 'Family that Crosses the Line,' airing tonight at 8:10 p.m.
