Talent Absorption From the Age of 0

Gil-dong was on the way to the Senior Citizens' Hall with Eun-woo in the car.

‘I thought Eunwoo’s murals would be this popular.

So this time, I have prepared a full set of mural painting.’

Gildong remembered what Kang Raon had said.

“They said it would be featured on the 9 o’clock news tomorrow. The popularity of Eunwoo’s mural seems to be good for promoting the album, so I try to help Eunwoo as much as possible to draw well, and be polite to the grandmothers as well.”

Gildong shrugged as if it were a picture he had drawn.

‘It’s also our Eunwoo. There’s nothing I can’t do.’

Gil-dong's car stopped in front of the Senior Citizen's Hall.

When Eun-woo got off, the grandmothers and grandfathers recognized Eun-woo and shouted.

“Eunwoo.”

“Our Eunwoo is here.”

“Our dog is here.”

Eunwoo gave a belly button greeting.

“Hello. grandma. Hal view.”

Hwaseong's grandmother came to the front and thanked Eunwoo.

“Eunwoo. You don't know how much better I've been getting a good night's sleep thanks to the picture you drew. I used to be lonely all the time, but now I'm fine. Grandma Kyung-ja here wants to ask you for a picture too.”

Grandma Kyungja said with a shy smile.

“Can I ask for a picture too? I miss my mother.”

Eunwoo nodded his head.

“Yes, yes, yes.”

In response to Eun-woo's answer, the other grandmothers and grandfathers in the Senior Citizens' Center also began to murmur.

“Eunwoo. Draw me too.”

“There is someone I really want to see.”

Gildong was surprised by Eunwoo's popularity.

‘I thought it was a well-drawn picture, but it must be like this. What kind of power lies in Eunwoo’s paintings, so everyone wants to receive Eunwoo’s paintings?’

Grandmother Kyung-ja arranged the words of other grandmothers and her grandfathers.

“Wait a minute. I was supposed to draw first. And Eunwoo needs to rest too. I'm sick. Draw only one picture at a time. Eunwoo is now five years old.”

The other grandmothers and grandfathers looked dissatisfied, but they could not express their dissatisfaction in front of Eun-woo.

“Eunwoo. Let's go to my house."

Grandma Kyung-ja led her Eun-woo to her own house.

Gildong took Eunwoo's drawing tools and followed them together.

Grandma Kyungja's house was at the end of the uphill road.

As I climbed the sloping alleyway, Eun-woo's breathing became harsh.

“Heh heh.”

Gildong was also short of breath.

However, Grandma Kyungja's breathing did not change.

Gildong asked Kyungja's grandmother.

“Is Grandma not breathing?”

“The road going up and down every day is out of breath. The lady next door, Misooni, goes down this road to pick up waste paper.”

“Abolition?”

For a moment, Gil-dong felt ashamed of his strictness.

Eun-woo thought of Africa as he listened to Mi-soon's grandmother's story.

‘As in Africa, in our country, poor people make money from discarded items. You must be old and have a bad back.’

It must be difficult for Mi-soon-i who picks up her waste paper, but her grandmother Kyung-ja's waist was also bent a lot.

“Grandma, doesn’t your back hurt? If your back hurts, it hurts.”

“It’s been a long time since her grandmother’s waist was bent like this. I suffered a lot when I was young. She goes to the hospital and takes medicine. She said that there are a few people who don't get sick because they're old. When you get old, everything hurts.”

Eun-woo's heart ached at his grandmother's words.‘When I was Farinelli, I felt it until I was 77 years old. What is it like for her to grow old? As she gets older, her body aches and her mind also weakens because of her sick body. When my body doesn't listen to me, I can't understand how I feel when I'm not old.'

Eun-woo and Gil-dong arrived at Gyeong-ja's grandmother's house.

“I can’t see anything, but I’ll give you a glass of water.”

Grandma Kyungja opened the door to the small room.

The room with her closet, chest of drawers and TV had a fan and a wooden cramped table.

When her grandmother entered the kitchen, she took out a 100-won yogurt from the refrigerator.

“It was a good thing I bought it in advance.”

Her grandmother offered Eun-woo and Gil-dong two rows of yogurt and a straw.

Gildong looked at the yogurt and said to Eunwoo.

“Eunwoo. Do you know how to eat yogurt deliciously?”

“No.”

“Come on, look.”

Gildong peeled off the straw.

Aiming at one of the five yogurts stacked in plastic, he put a straw in it.

“Wow.”

Eun-woo was impressed that Gil-dong put a straw in without peeling it.

“Hey. That’s it.”

“I learned it when I was in elementary school. It is delicious when you put all five of them in this way.”

Gildong also put straws in all four yogurts next to him.

"Wow"

Eunwoo's eyes widened.

As Gil-dong was demonstrating, he sucked the yogurt from the straw.

In an instant, five bottles of yogurt became empty.

"Wow."

Gildong put all the straws in the other five yogurts for Eunwoo.

Eunwoo said while pointing to the straw.

“Doremifasol.”

Eun-woo drank the yogurt in order as if matching the scale.

“Doremi Fasol Sol Sol Sol.”

After drinking the yogurt in order, I sucked the straw three times from the last bottle.

“Doremimipapasol.”

This time he sucked the straw three times from the third bottle and twice from the fourth bottle.

Looking at Eun-woo, Grandma Kyung-ja smiled.

“You play well with yogurt. I have this too.”

Her grandmother took a peanut flavored candy from her drawer and gave it to Eunwoo.

Peanut-flavored lollipops were the candy that her grandmother had saved to eat when she watched TV alone in the evening.

“Wow, Mash.”

Eun-woo peeled his skin and put a peanut-flavored candy in his mouth.

Peanut grains chewed with the taste of sweet candy.

‘Oh, this is fun.’

Eunwoo fell in love with the taste of peanut-flavored candies.

Grandmother Kyung-ja caressed Eun-woo's forehead as if she was cute.

When the curved old woman's hand touched her forehead, Eun-woo felt something tremble in her heart.

'Long live grandma. She’s been through a lot.’

Eunwoo rubbed Kyungja's grandmother's bent hand.

“Grandma. Do not get sick. Eunwoo will give you a massage.”

“Hey, Grandma, it’s okay. Eunwoo My hand hurts, but I don't have to rub it. How busy are you with drawing or dancing with these little hands, even rubbing your grandmother.”

"no. grandma. I’ll let Eun-woo say goodbye to her grandmother.”

Eun-woo rubbed Kyung-ja's grandmother's shoulder.

“Are you talking to your grandmother?”

“It’s cool because our Eunwoo massages us. How come Eunwoo is so kind?”

Gil-dong, who was next to him, rubbed the leg of Kyung-ja's grandmother.

Gildong's hands were large and strong. An exclamation naturally erupted from the old lady's mouth.

“Oh, that’s cool. What luxury is this in my life?”

“Grandmother, tell me about your grandmother’s mother.”

"our mom. My mom used to boil her fresh potatoes very finely for me. Potatoes are precious now, but they weren't then. Every morning he braided my hair neatly. I'm full of gray hair now, but back then I was just as pretty as Eunwoo.

She said whenever her mom would braid her hair. Who will our pretty Gyeongja marry at this wall? Then I answered. Kyung-ja is not going to marry her and will live with her mother.

She said that her mother took my hand and went to her store and bought her some rubber shoes, but she loved them so much that she couldn't even wear them and she hugged and slept.

She is hardworking by my mother, and she is a well-known person in the neighborhood, so she is invited to every party, and she cooks feast food and is good at sewing, so she went to sew from house to house. So, when her mother was alive, even if she was poor, the house was always lively. I was very happy back then.”

“Grandmother’s mother is a very young mother, and she’s going to go out.”

"right. I still miss my mom. I don't remember ever smiling comfortably since her mother passed away. Instead of my drunken father, I had to take care of my brothers. My father only looked for alcohol every day. He had to clean, wash and cook with his clumsy skills, but nothing was easy.”

Eunwoo remembered her life as a Padwa.

'Even her grandmother lived a life of responsibility for her younger brother at her young age of eight. Grandma You don't know how much I missed her dad and mom when I was working with Pad. I think I can understand her grandmother’s feelings.’

Eun-woo grabbed her painting tools and came out to Gyeong-ja's grandmother's house.

‘I think it would be better to draw a picture using the slope.’

After organizing his thoughts, Eunwoo started painting.

‘I’m going to draw Grandma Kyung-ja on the edge of the wall and Grandma Kyung-ja’s mother on the other end of the wall. Makes me feel like Grandma Kyung-ja is running to her mother.’

At Eunwoo's fingertips, 8-year-old Kyungja was alive.

Kyungsoo, with his ponytail tied up, was clutching his new rubber shoes in his hand.

On the other side, Kyung-ja's mother was smiling brightly and warmly.

‘I have to bring talent one last time.’

[Imagination level of the poet of Pegasus, the heavenly horse of Olympus 2.

You can make your imagination feel visually, auditory, tactile and olfactory.]

Grandma Kyungja heard her mother's voice.

“Gyeongja. a lot of hard work I'm hungry. come quickly Her mother will cook for you.”

Tears flowed nonstop from the eyes of her grandmother, Kyung-ja, who returned to her eight-year-old.

***

A feast was held at the Senior Citizen's Hall for a long time.

Grandma Kyung-ja was baking potato pancakes.

She attached her horse to her grandmother, Gyeongjae, who lived in Hwaseong.

“The potato pancake made by her sister is really delicious.”

“She was taught by my mother. She will show her skills today, so eat a lot.”

Next to her, Kyung-sun and her grandmother were making bibim noodles.

“It’s a very party today. party."

Grandma Kyungja answered.

“When Eunwoo comes, we have a party every day.”

A banquet table was set up at the Senior Citizen's Hall.

Japchae, Bulgogi, Potato Jeon, Bibim Noodles, and Dong Grand Tin were all laid out on the table.

said Grandma Kyungja.

“My Eunwoo drew a nice picture for me, so I’m taking a bite, so please enjoy it everyone.”

said her grandmother and her grandfather.

“Thanks to Eunwoo, we are doing well.”

“I heard that Eunwoo’s album came out this time, shouldn’t I have to listen to one of Eunwoo’s songs before eating?”

“Is an album out? Then of course we should listen to the song.”

“Eunwoo singing applause.”

Applause erupted from everywhere.

Eunwoo thought as he stood up.

‘Will my grandmother, her grandfather, like my song? What if you don’t like the song because it’s different from the song you usually listen to?’The grandmothers clapped and matched the beat.

The grandfathers got up and danced with their hands clasped over their shoulders.

'That's different from the dances I've seen. Is it a dance where all you need to do is wrap your hands toward your head?’

Eun-woo was surprised to see his grandfathers dancing for the first time.

Eunwoo started singing without accompaniment.

[If you talk about the streets, they see me.

Nunya, Hwa, Halbyuji, Halmony

I'm so pretty

It's just me passing by. Sessions towards you.

Sishis are chasing Nya even from afar.

I'm so pretty.]

Grandpa's dance moves faster, and the sounds of the grandmothers' applause also accelerated.

The dancing grandfather began to sing along to Eunwoo's song.

[Naegaa Gerke, the cute Gaaga. Cute Gaa in Naegaa Gerke. Naegaa Gerke, the cute Gaa.]

Grandpa was singing Eunwoo's song lyrics by changing all the lyrics to [Naega Gerke, the cute Gaa]. In addition, the notes slowly swelled. It's like singing a trot.

Eunwoo felt very fond of the way his grandfather sang.

‘Grandpa, you are so lovely now.’

The song entered the chorus.

Eunwoo continued to sing.

[I'm so cute. I am so lovely

You are so helpful too. You are so lovely too.

We are all precious.]

The grandmothers also sang Eunwoo's song.

[You are so cute too. You are so cute too. Ours, doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

Eunwoo smiled softly at the excessively long notes.

‘Grandma and Grandpa are enjoying my songs the way they like them. Grandma, Grandpa. You did a lot of hard work. They are all very precious people.’

***

Raon Kang was checking Eunwoo's reaction after appearing in crayons.

‘There were a lot of compliments on the scene where Eunwoo plays the piano. Her appearance with Bori also received good reviews, thanks to which advertisements for home appliances for dogs and pianos came in.

But first, [To My Dog] is a song that has to be pushed after the title song is released, so first of all, the title song needs to be widely publicized. I need to get more music show appearances.

It is the university event season soon, so I think university events will be good.

'It's nine o'clock.'

Raon Kang turned on the bbs channel where he heard about Eunwoo's news.

“The OO-dong, where elderly people living alone live, was a quiet neighborhood with no visitors for a while. It has been a long time since the young couple did not live and the children's laughter ceased. It was one mural that changed the atmosphere of this neighborhood.”

The mural painted by Eunwoo is reflected in the camera.

The first mural is a picture of Myeong-seok swimming while eating ice cream. Standing next to him is an old woman wearing sunglasses and a floral dress.

The second mural shows a young husband standing at the entrance of an alley and holding her umbrella, waiting for her wife, and a young wife running towards her husband.

“Both of these murals contain the lives of grandmothers.

Let’s listen to the grandmothers’ interviews for a moment.”

On the screen, Kyung-sun's grandmother is wearing a floral-patterned dress and doing her makeup.

“Because I wasn’t a grandmother to begin with. I also had a pretty young age. When I look at this picture, I feel good because it reminds me of my youth.”

On the screen, her grandmother in Hwaseong is smiling brightly in a modest outfit.

“I have long missed her dead husband, who participated in the Vietnam War, and it is so good to see her husband even in pictures like this.”

The camera illuminates the reporter again.

“It was Eunwoo Lee, a five-year-old baby who painted the mural that helped grandmothers find their lost youth. Eunwoo recently released his first album with the song [I'm So Cute]. He is also known to us as the actor who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the movie [The Great Voice].”
