Lima, Peru, a city of coastal cliffs embracing the Pacific Ocean. Living here is Haru (3 years old), a budding mukbang star who is serious about eating and a 'South American mood-maker' who starts moving his body as soon as music plays. Meanwhile, in South Korea on the other side of the world, a grand journey begins for the grandmother and grandfather to meet Haru. For the first time in "My Grandchildren Are Here!", cousin Si-won (10 years old) also joins! With two layovers and a flight time of a whopping 31 hours, the path to meet the grandchild is not easy. At one point, they even lose their way at the final layover and face the status of 'international lost children,' while a tense psychological battle breaks out as the opinions of the grandfather and Si-won diverge.... Will the three be able to safely meet Haru on the other side of the world?

'Hurry, hurry' Mom vs. 'Take it slow' Haru! The morning battle of commuting and going to school

Every morning, a battle of commuting and going to school unfolds at Haru's house. The 'hurry, hurry' mom is desperate for every second as the commuting time is imminent. However, Haru is merely relaxed, unconcerned. Haru, the 'budding chef' who stepped up saying he would prepare breakfast himself, is slow even when opening a single bottle cap. When the mother, unable to wait, tries to lend a hand, he even shows stubbornness, saying, "I'll do it!" Just when it seems they have barely finished breakfast, he starts resisting, saying he doesn't want to get dressed! As time passes, the mother's heart burns, and eventually, dad Matti steps in to mediate... Will Haru's family be able to leave the house on time?

First time in "My Grandchildren Are Here!" a cousin joins! Traveling halfway around the world to find the younger sibling they missed

A special companion joins this trip to Peru. It is Haru's cousin Si-won (10 years old)! In the past, when Haru stayed in South Korea for 9 months, the two built a special bond like siblings, eating, playing, and sleeping together. After Haru returned to Peru, the cousin siblings, who had parted ways, have not met for two years. Ultimately, Si-won sets out on a journey halfway around the world with the grandmother and grandfather to meet the cousin sibling she missed. The first grandchild reunion in "My Grandchildren Are Here!" to include a cousin! Will Haru and Si-won, facing each other after 2 years, be able to recognize each other? The exciting reunion of the cousin siblings, whether they can quickly become close again like before, will be revealed.

31 hours of flying! A crisis of 'international lost children' at the final layover on the way to Peru halfway around the world?!

The trip to Peru began with excitement. However, the path to meet Haru is not easy from the start. With two layovers, the flight time alone is a whopping 31 hours! But a problem occurred at the final layover. The boarding gate cannot be found no matter how hard they look! Not only are they wandering the airport, but the opinions of the grandfather and Si-won also begin to diverge. Eventually, even Si-won says, "Communication isn't working..." The three people are in crisis from the very start of the path to meet the grandchild. Will they be able to arrive safely in Peru?

The first Peruvian feast enjoyed in a 100-year-old traditional house. Which food received the grandfather's 'one pick' over all the delicacies?!

For the whole family who came to Peru, a world-class gourmet country, mom Jeong-eun decided to 'flex' properly! The location for the first feast is a traditional house restaurant that has preserved over 100 years of history. Representative dishes of Peru are placed on the table one by one, and the full first feast begins. However, the expectation is short-lived, as the unfamiliar local food does not seem to suit the tastes of the grandmother and grandfather. To make matters worse, the grandfather sets aside all the impressive dishes and picks one unexpected food as his 'one pick'... What is the identity of the food that properly captured the grandfather's taste?
