Joo Woo-jae really grew up surrounded by so much love

Joo Woo-jae’s mother was the mystery trip planner, and hearing her voice letter left him sobbing.

Who planned the trip in this Hangout with Yoo spinoff that seems really well put together

They do a Hangout with Yoo spinoff almost every holiday (this time it was the whole What's This, What's Going On thing)

They sent Haha, Joo Woo-jae, and Heo Kyung-hwan on a trip together

They thought they were heading off on a free trip, but once they got on the train, they were told there was a trip planner

And this was the bag the planner sent

It had 500,000 won in cash, a car key, a camera, tapes, and stuff inside

The second they saw it, they were like, who the hell is it?

The guesses were flying everywhere—Jae-suk hyung? Kwang-kyu hyung? lol

Anyway, they arrived in Yeongju and got into the car the planner had prepared, and even the destination was already set in the navigation

The first stop was a forest healing center, yep

It was already booked, and they picked up their supplies and headed up the mountain

They said it was supposed to be a free trip, so what is this?

They complained like crazy the whole way up

But when they actually got there, a yoga instructor was waiting, so they took a class lol

Then it was hammock time

All 3 took a nap and seemed pretty satisfied

(+) While traveling between stops, they also had fun listening to the cassette tapes from the planner's bag

They're enjoying the trip while wondering if even the track list might be a clue

The next stop was a pork cutlet restaurant

It brought back memories for all of them in its own way

Then they started guessing again—was it some celebrity who knows Yeongju really well? Who could it be?

The accommodation had already been booked too

On the way there, they stopped at a single-log bridge and took photos with the digital camera

They lounged around during their free time at the accommodation, then found another cassette tape

They were lying there relaxing while listening to songs by Kim Yeon-woo, a singer, when the tape suddenly crackled and cut out

??? Then they suddenly heard something outside, so they went out and

the actual Kim Yeon-woo appeared and sang live for them lolololololol

What even is this all of a sudden lololol

Joo Woo-jae, who's genuinely a huge Kim Yeon-woo fan, went into full panic mode lololol

And so the god Kim Yeon-woo sang a few more songs

then handed them a tape the planner had asked him to deliver and left

(He seriously came all that way just to sing and leave lol, hahaha)

Once they finished tidying up and gathered again, they played the tape

& after waiting for quite a while, they heard a woman's voice ......

Whoa, son??

And then you see Joo Woo-jae's expression...

You seemed like you were struggling because you've been so busy lately and haven't even been able to travel, so I planned a trip for you

I wonder if you had a fun day with the hyungs today...

This summer was so hot, and it broke Mom's heart watching you go from shoot to shoot without getting even one day off

I always felt bad that you were always spending money on the family

so at least today, I hope you can travel for yourself with the spending money Mom prepared

>>>Joo Woo-jae starts sobbing the second he hears his mother's voice lol 😭😭😭

Yep

It was a voice letter from Joo Woo-jae's mom, who had planned the whole trip 😭😭😭

(When Joo Woo-jae was little, his mom was really stressed because he barely ate, but she said she remembered that whenever she packed pork cutlets for him, he would finish every bite)

On the trip itinerary the owl planner prepared for Woo-jae

the on-screen caption changes to say these were the stops his mother prepared for her son

(+) And on top of that, the cassette tapes in the bag were songs Woo-jae's dad personally picked out...

His dad chose songs Joo Woo-jae used to love and made a playlist

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Joo Woo-jae...

keeps tearing up and can barely speak 😭😭

Apparently the production team had been meeting with Joo Woo-jae's parents for several months to prepare all this, and even on the day, they kept his mother updated on everything in real time lolol

Joo Woo-jae... really did grow up surrounded by so much love... 😭😭😭

+ Heo Kyung-hwan calling his own mom after the planner's identity was revealed

LOLLLLLLLLLLLL

Sigh... what is this

At first I thought it was Yoo Jae-suk, but no, omg 😭😭😭

They were seriously determined to make us cry. How are you supposed to watch this and not cry? 😭😭😭

Heo Kyung-hwan lol. Seeing how comfortably Heo Kyung-hwan talks to his mom like that, they must be really close too lol
