Episode 18 of tvN STORY ‘Passport Holding Back Smashing’, which will air on the 8th, will feature a special travel story of Julia from Finland in Northern Europe and a global family showing their extraordinary love for Korea.

According to the production team, Julia prepared a course at an oriental medicine hospital because she was worried about her parents‘ health who live thousands of miles away. All three MCs in the studio sympathized with the appearance of a mother from all over the world who worries about her daughter’s financial situation due to hospital bills, saying, “There‘s no such thing as a free lunch, daughter.” The global family visits an oriental medicine hospital for medical consultation, and a very special doctor appears, causing everyone to burst into laughter. It is Director Han Chang, Jang Young-ran’s husband. At the extraordinary scale of the hospital, DinDin looks on in awe, saying, “Noona, you look different,” and Kim Sung-joo says, “Wow~ You‘re the madam~” and supports her. Also, DinDin’s mother, Mrs. Kim Pan-rye, added praise, saying, “Your husband has such a good impression.” Director Han Chang, who diagnoses Julia‘s parents with the force of an expert, shows an unexpectedly clumsy side when he gets into trouble while using an AI interpreter, making people laugh. In addition to treating patients wonderfully, Director Han Chang also shows unexpected charm with his loopholes, to which Kim Sung-joo pays tribute, and Jang Young-ran makes a sly gesture, saying, “I’m going crazy today~”, causing an explosion of laughter.


Yulia and the Global family, who went to eat eel for dinner, are surprised by the shocking visual of the eel that looks like an earthworm. However, as they soon fall in love with the taste and amazing efficacy of the eel, Julia even orders Bokbunja wine, and keeps telling her parents that her younger sibling has improved her strength, causing the MCs to smash their backs. However, Julia‘s parents fight back with comments rated 39+ saying, “Thanks to you, I might have a younger sibling”, “Like Abraham and Sarah who gave birth at the age of 90?” and burn the MCs’ backs to the ground. The studio guests, who are embarrassed by the sly family, say, “What are you talking about to Mom~” and smash their backs in unison.

On the other hand, DinDin starts to go wild, saying that he often makes jokes like that too, and he starts exposing himself, saying that he was also an unplanned late bloomer. Jang Young-ran brags about her marital bliss, saying, “I eat sitting on my husband‘s lap”, and the bickering is set to continue as DinDin’s annoyance spreads. In a heated atmosphere, Yulia decides to take a photo to commemorate her parents‘ 40th wedding anniversary, but a person who is presumed to be Yulia’s boyfriend appears, making her parents‘ eyes widen.

The broadcast is at 8 p.m. on the 8th.
