*Broadcast Date: Thursday, September 10, 2026, at 9:55 PM, EBS 1TV

São Luís, a coastal city in Brazil where emerald seas unfold. Unlike its peaceful scenery, there isn't a single quiet day in this house?! From the reliable eldest sister Sarah (14), to Maria (11), a 'Super E' who won't lose to anyone in terms of excitement, to the perfectionist Daniel (8), who can't stand even a single crooked line, and the youngest Samuel (6), who melts the whole family with his cuteness! When these four siblings, each with different personalities and tastes, gather, every day is a series of events! And news that made the four siblings even more excited! After as many as 5 years, Granny and Grandpa from Korea are coming to visit! To see their grandchildren's faces, they fly to the other side of the world, transferring planes for a travel time of a whopping 48 hours. But things are unusual from the very start. Even a producer's thunderous words that they might not even arrive! Will Granny and Grandpa be able to break through all obstacles and embrace their grandchildren after 5 years?

Grandchildren, wait for us! We're packing Korea tightly into 6 suitcases! We're delivering it all to Brazil!

Granny Kim Hyun-soon (72) and Grandpa Park Chae-gwan (77) want to do everything for their grandchildren whom they haven't seen for 5 years. As if to prove that feeling, they begin to pack gifts into suitcases... The contents of the bags are extraordinary from the start?! From 40 packs of Jajangmyeon noodles occupying one side of the suitcase to K-snacks, Korean ingredients, and BTS-related gifts that the grandchildren love! If it's something expensive or hard to find in Brazil, it goes straight into the suitcase. At this point, it's not a travel bag but a 'mobile Korean mart'! There are as many as 6 suitcases! But the real problem was something else! It's about 20,000km to where the grandchildren are waiting, and the travel time alone is 48 hours! They have to transfer planes several times, and every time they transfer, there's no way to know if the 6 suitcases are following them properly! This epic journey to the other side of the world only ends when both the people and the luggage arrive safely! Will Granny and Grandpa be able to arrive safely in front of their grandchildren without losing a single one of the 6 suitcases?

"It's okay even if we sleep without locking the door" The house of the 4 siblings guarded by 24-hour security

In front of the house where the 4 siblings live! A reporter follows the children as they introduce their home~ When the family was looking for a house, the most important condition wasn't the view or the size of the house, but 'safety'?! The place they chose due to external security issues is a townhouse where about 15 families live together! They live under tight security that strictly manages even the entry of outsiders! However, the moment they pass through the firmly closed door, the atmosphere changes 180 degrees! While they have to be particularly careful about safety outside, the inside of the fence is like a different world, a twist in daily life unfolding beyond the tight security gate! We meet the special 'world inside the fence' where the 4 Brazilian siblings live.

"Aren't you late?" The suspicious school route of the Brazilian 4 siblings who wake up at 10 AM

10 AM on a weekday. The children, who should be at school, are still in bed?! The 4 siblings are just starting to wake up one by one. But even after looking at the clock, neither the children nor the parents show any sign of rushing! Furthermore, there is no scene where the mother wakes them up and prepares food. The second child, Maria, takes over the kitchen and skillfully prepares breakfast, and after finishing the meal, the children prepare for school, washing and getting dressed without help from their parents! But the clock is already heading toward noon... Kids, will you really not be late for school? The school route of the Brazilian 4 siblings, which is different from the start compared to Korea, unfolds! But shortly after arriving safely at school, an unexpected special mission is given to the perfectionist Daniel! "You are the flag bearer today." Daniel, who has to hold the flag and sing the national anthem in front of many students. His expression, which was excited during filming, suddenly freezes! Can Daniel, who must accomplish everything perfectly to be satisfied, successfully complete even the most nerve-wracking mission of his life?

"Grandma and Grandpa might not be able to come!" An unprecedented crisis erupts ahead of the reunion after 5 years!

As soon as they return from school, the 4 siblings gather due to their mother's emergency call! They decide to secretly prepare a surprise welcome event for Granny and Grandpa, who are visiting after 5 years. The children write 'I love you' in their clumsy Korean. But even here, the difference in personality is clearly revealed. The perfectionist Daniel, who brings out a ruler and allows not even a millimeter of error, and the free spirit Dad, Philippe, who says as long as it has the feeling, it's fine even if it's crooked! After bickering, the welcome works containing the 5-year wait are completed one by one, and now only Granny and Grandpa need to arrive! But just then, an ominous phone call comes in! "We... think we might miss the plane." The family freezes instantly. An unprecedented crisis erupts right before the meeting they waited 5 years for! While the 4 siblings are sleeping, an urgent airport sprint(?) of Granny and Grandpa begins on the other side of the world! After the 48-hour great migration, will what awaits be an emotional reunion or an unexpected parting(?)? Will the K-Grandparents be able to arrive safely in Brazil where the grandchildren are waiting?
