Episode 52
* * *
The long-awaited release day of the one-act drama 【Strange Family】.
All the GLEET members sat together closely and started a live broadcast.
[Lee Doha: Hello, Glow everyone. We’ve met often through individual live broadcasts. But it’s been a while since we’ve done a group live broadcast like this.]
[Weon: It’s really been so long!! No, we want to do them often. But everyone has too many individual schedules.]
[Eon: We can just do them often from now on.]
[Yeonho: (nods)]
-Guys ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ ahh ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ it’s been so long since we had a group live stream ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-It’s nighttime now, aren’t you tired..? Go to bed quickly..ㅠ
-Dohayam, I have finals tomorrow, please give me some encouragement just onceㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Honey!! It’s my birthdayㅠㅠㅠㅠ Say happy birthday to meㅠㅠㅠ
-ENG plz
[Lee Doha: The reason we gathered together after such a long time is. Everyone, have you been enjoying watching the reality show we appeared in recently, 【Glittering Baby House】?]
[Eon: If there’s anyone here who still hasn’t watched it, get out quickly. I’m going to be upset.]
[Weon: Hey hey hey. That’s a bit harsh!! There’s no way such a Glow exists?! You don’t trust our Glow!? Our Glow isn’t that kind of Glow!!!]
-(guilty)
-My sister couldn’t afford the Wonder Box subscription this month because she’s in the red,, I’ll go pay for it right away ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Of course I watched it;;; Where are the people who didn’t watch it, the whole nation watched it
[Lee Doha: Haha, trusting that everyone has already watched it… What did we do there, Yeonho hyung?]
[Yeonho: We worked as Yewon’s daily managers. Filming 【Strange Family】.]
[Lee Doha: Yes, that’s right. And… today is the day that one-act drama 【Strange Family】 airs, where our Yewon challenged herself with serious acting for the first time.]
[Weon: Waaaah!! (applause) Actually, we haven’t seen the edited version yet either!!! We just did some sneaky watching by following along to the filming set. We were really so curious about the final product!! No, since we’ve never tried acting~ we were so curious about what kind of result would come out!!]
[Eon: So today I poked the members’ sides a bit to watch and react together with you all. I did well, right Glow?]
-Really our filial son Eon is all we have;;
-ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Eonni really understands how we all feel..
-Where’s Yewon?? Sleeping??
[Lee Doha: Yewon is sleeping in the next room right now. So we’re going to try filming a reaction just among ourselves.]
[Eon: Glows, everyone turn on 【Strange Family】 and watch together with us.]
-Turned it on right away!!!!!
-I’ll try to help with the viewership ratings,, heave-ho
Like that, a small relay screen of the one-act drama appeared on one side of the screen.
When the drama started, Yewon appeared on screen with eyes full of story, completely different from her usual bright appearance in 【Glittering Baby House】.
[Lee Doha: ….]
[Eon: …!!]
[Weon: No. Is that really the Yewon I knew? Where did that Yewon who threw a tantrum asking me for jelly at the lodging last time go?]
[Eon: You were the one who threw the tantrum. You asked Yewon for jelly and now you’re framing someone else.]
[Weon: …Shut up, man!!]
[Yewon: Birthdays, Christmas, New Year’s Day, New Year… it’s okay that dad isn’t there on those days. Because he’s never been there even once.]
[Yewon: But, what’s really hard for me is… When I’m talking with friends, when I’m the only one who’s never been to an amusement park, when I’m the only one who doesn’t know what a grandmother’s house in the countryside is, when everyone knows how to ride a bike but I have no one to teach me. I… that’s so hard for me.]
[Yewon: So, mister, you should go too. Just because you stay with me a little on days like this, I don’t like it at all. I hate it.]
[Yewon: If you’re not going to be with me every single day, I don’t need you. Not you, mister. Not mom either.]
When the scene came out where Yewon in the drama dropped tears and pushed away the fake father, the eyes of the members on the live broadcast screen began to change little by little.
[Lee Doha: ….]
-Is Lee Doha crying…?
-This is the first time I’ve ever seen Doha make that face, seriously…ㅠ
-This nephew-in-law ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
[Eon: …Since Lee Doha is out of it right now, I’ll do the reaction. Yewon really acted well without a single NG when she was acting.]
[Weon: She was really amazing?!?!?! No, you really have to see that on set!! Goosebumps all over. For real.]
[Eon: Talent really does exist.]
Like that, time passed in the drama.
Young Bora played by Yewon disappeared and adult Bora appeared.
Accordingly, the reactions were about to quiet down a lot.
At the end of the one-act drama, narration began to come out.
Specifically, in Yewon’s voice.
[Lee Doha: !]
[Weon: Huh!?!?!!? Isn’t this Yewon’s voice?!? It’s not adult Bora’s voice?!]
[Yeonho: It sounds like the child’s voice.]
[Yewon: …My childhood self used to think, am I burning up like firewood right now?]
[Yewon: I could clearly feel the sensation. That something inside me was burning. Something I had never fully possessed, but also didn’t want to throw away, was burning with crackling sounds.]
[Yewon: To such a me, the existence of fake father was a completely different fire. A fire where I didn’t have to burn my own things.]
[Yewon: So now I want to tell my childhood self.]
[Yewon: That you as an adult are no longer burning yourself up.]
[Yewon: That you are now sleeping beside a warm campfire.]
[Yewon: Not beside fake father.]
[Yewon: But beside the campfire called real family.]
Like that, with the scene of the much older fake father and adult Bora becoming real family and facing each other.
【Strange Family】 came to an end.
[Lee Doha: ….]
Lee Doha, for the first time in a live broadcast, burst into tears.
And the members, beside such Lee Doha, patted his back without saying anything.
Even without words.
Because they knew how much Lee Doha had been waiting for ‘real family’.

Title: GLEET Lee Doha crying loudly while watching his niece’s acting
(Screenshot)
(Screenshot)
Yesterday he really cried genuinely while watching his niece’s broadcast..
There’s speculation that he cried because it seemed like his and his niece’s story
└There are rumors that Lee Do-ha himself also grew up alone without family.. So when his nephew acted out a character similar to himself like that, he probably got teary-eyed ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└Honestly, when Taeyoung left there was so much noise that GLEET didn’t look good either, but my thoughts are changing a lot lately, the kids seem really kind
└└222 At least it seems certain that they really care for their niece
└└└3333
Title: Honestly, at first I was like WTF
Even when Glittering Baby House first started
I was like they’re desperately trying to clean their image, legendary overacting; but
They really seem like niece fools x4 so I just laugh every time I watch
└And Yewon is also so precious and mature for a baby that I’m surprised
└└For real… Honestly Glittering Baby House is a show carried entirely by Yewon
└└└Really so many people watch because of the baby
Title: At first I just watched because I was curious about Lee Doha’s family situation
But I’m gradually becoming a fan
The baby acts so well too
Even though her parents passed away so early, she’s strong and mature so she’s completely a precious mouse,,
└What are you saying? She’s a precious rabbit
└└She’s a soft rice cake rabbit
Title: 【Strange Family】 with good ratings for a one-act drama (Lee Doha’s Niece supporting role)
(Screenshot)
A whopping 2.7 percent
Real-time peak viewership went up to 3.8
Considering how extremely difficult it is to get good drama ratings these days, this is really good
└Wow; these are really insane numbers, at this level lol
└Definitely got a lot of promotion and articles came out so it was good
└The subject matter isn’t even that fresh, but this level is really holding up well
Title: But every time I see Lee Doha’s niece
I get startled
She looks exactly like Lee Doha
└Yesssss lol she looks exactly like what Lee Doha would look like if he were a girl
└That’s why at first there were tons of rumors that she wasn’t his niece but his real daughter
└└Recca really mass-produced these kinds of rumors, then Yewon’s family relationship certificate was verified by her agency and the rumors finally disappeared..
└└└My faith in humanity was shattered back then…ㅎ So many people actually believed those YouTubers’ bullshit ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ…
Title: Don’t act like only people here believed those false Recca rumors
When I go to work, the Department Head always asks if Kim Assistant Manager heard about all the gossip going around in their group chat lol
Men, women, young and old all acted like that at least once
└For real… there are so many disgusting people, is that something to say about a little kid
Title: That’s why I think they did well filming that childcare variety show
If they hadn’t revealed it so openly, the rumors would still be terrible now
└Yeah… there are still people who believe that bullshit;
└└I wonder if they have Recca for brains
Title: When international fans film Strange Family reaction reels
Everyone sobbing is so cute and funny lol
If you search “The Weird Family Reactions” quite a lot comes up
This is possible because GLEET has a solid international fandom lol
Everyone’s calling him baby GOAT ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋ They’re saying it’s not actually a baby but an adult wearing a costume
└So short dramas come out on global OTT too, interesting…!
└└Wonder Box picked it up, so it appears together with Glittering Baby House in the recommended tab
└└└Yewon is already a world star, so proud of her aww ㅠㅠ
└└└└I hope the baby receives lots of love from around the world..
Title: My StarStagram algorithm these days
keeps showing me only Yewon
My precious little online niece..
