Ha Ha Bus (Hahabeoseu / 하하버스)

("which has been famous in all ages." By Daniel Drake, an American physician)

(In December of 2022, one family prepares for restoration.)

Okay. Sit down here.

Guys, it's time to say hello.

Guys, it's time to say hello.

Gather in, guys.

We need to say hello to the viewers.

Well done.

Okay. It's greeting time.

Let's say hello in three, okay?

- Ready, start. - Ready, start.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello.

I'm Haha, the father of three kids, Dream, Soul, and Song.

Mom.

I'm the one who birthed and raised Dream, Soul, and Song.

I'm their mom, Byul.

Please introduce yourself, starting from the eldest.

Hello, I made my debut on "Running Man,"

and my name is Ha Dream.

(Dream, who made his debut on "Running Man")

(He is the oldest son of Haha and Byul's family.)

You got this, Dad!

(The son is definitely a chip off the old block.)

(His personality is identical to his father's.)

(The eldest among Dream, Soul, and Song, Ha Dream)

My son, Dream,

is a very bubbly person.

He's been raised with great love and attention.

Reflecting on my third-grade self,

I realize I was much more mature than he was.

(The very bubbly mischief-maker and the eldest, Ha Dream)

- And our second son. - Soul.

- Come, Soul. Sit here and say hello. - Dad!

Ping ping!

Let's say, "Hello!"

- Friends! - Hello.

- I'm... - A frog!

a frog.

But where are they going?

To their house.

We need to return them to their mom and dad.

(Compassionate Soul cries over saying goodbye to little snails.)

Soul is very considerate.

He's caring and affectionate.

He's compassionate...

and warm-hearted.

Hello, I'm a butthole.

I'm a butthole and poop.

I don't like that.

Hello.

Ha Song!

Ha Song!

I'm Ha Song.

Song is the only kid who runs to me when I come home.

A girl is so much better than a boy.

They're totally different genres, if I may.

Song is hip-hop.

(The hip-hop baby, Song, even has a hip dream.)

What do you want to be when you grow up, Song?

I want to be...

- rice. - Rice?

- You want to be rice? - Yes.

White rice.

I want to be white rice.

I'm...

a pink ham.

- You want to be pink ham? - Yes.

I'll do it. I'll be pink ham.

- You want to be pink ham? - Yes.

Song is like a surprise present to us.

Our youngest means everything.

Mom! Do you know what Christmas is in English?

It's Christmas!

- Christmas is Christmas in English. - Christmas!

(The fluent English-speaking pink ham, Ha Song)

(A very special story of Haha, Byul, Dream, Soul, and Song begins now.)

We've got lots of offers to be on shows...

like this before.

But back then, we didn't think...

- It sounded impossible. - Yes. Right.

But in 2022, something big happened to our family.

It felt like the world had ended.

We had a hard time.

(What happened to the happy family last year?)

(Song is suffering from GBS, which we've never heard of before.)

(Guillain-Barre Syndrome is a rapid-onset muscle weakness...)

I'm very worried when I talk about the disease like this.

I know some children continue to suffer from this,

and their families have been caring for them...

for longer than we have.

To them, our short experience could sound very loud and annoying.

That's why I'm very careful about speaking about it.

Song used to be very bright and energetic all the time.

But one day, she said she had a stomachache.

We suspected enteritis at first, but she didn't have a fever.

Soon, she was rolling on the floor in pain...

because she couldn't handle it.

- We couldn't suspect... - We didn't know.

she might have such a serious disease.

Because we didn't even know such a disease existed.

Then, she started to walk differently.

With her legs turned in.

She started to walk feebly.

- She kept falling. - Right.

We thought she might've used up her energy because of the stomachache.

But she was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

- We... - We'd never heard of it before.

We couldn't believe that was happening.

How could it happen so suddenly?

It happened to us so unexpectedly.

As you know, I'm a comedian.

I needed to make others laugh when my world, family, and myself...

were falling apart.

Every day was like a nightmare.

I couldn't even laugh.

How could I make others laugh?

We cried so much together.

I couldn't think straight, you know?

My heart pounded so hard.

I was too upset to even stand up.

("Haha and Byul Cease TV Appearances Due To Their Daughter's Rare Disease")

("Haha and Byul's Daughter Diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome")

("Haha and Byul's Daughter Suffers From A Rare Disease, Can't Even Walk")

("Haha and Byul Heartbroken But Grateful She's Still Alive")

(I haven't been able to post anything or even record new music.)

(The mom had to stop her daily life, heartbroken.)

(The four-year-old Song had to bear the pain with her little body.)

She cried a lot in pain.

"Can you take this pain away for me, Mom?"

"I want the pain to stop." She kept saying that.

That crushed my heart.

I was a little sad.

Because Song was sick.

She even got the IV thing.

(The parents began to regret more as her sickness lasted.)

(They regretted not spending as much time with her earlier.)

It still makes me weep.

Stop.

I almost cried too, talking about it.

We are really grateful to her.

We had a little chat when she was still sick.

I asked Song, "What do you want to do the most when you return home healthy?"

"Where do you want to go with your mom?"

Suddenly, her face lit up,

and she said, "I want to go to a valley."

So, I promised her, saying, "We'll go, no matter what. Just get better, Song."

Valley.

Because...

it's really big.

We played in the stream, catching frogs and fish one summer.

I guess she has a really good memory of that.

That's why we were eager to be on "HaHaBus."

I watched people traveling on camper vans on YouTube.

I was really inspired by the whole family...

- traveling the world in a van. - Yes, right.

- It was Ppeppe Family. - Right.

(Ppeppe Family traveled to 25 countries in a converted minibus for a year.)

(The trip became the most special memory for the children.)

I've always wanted to convert a bus...

to travel everywhere.

Mom!

I want to say something.

- You do? - You have something?

Okay.

(The youngest Song wants to say something to her family.)

- Dad! - Yes?

We need our family...

to share our hearts.

Right. We need each other.

- How wise you are, Song. - I see.

- And... - We need our family.

We have to put Mom, Dad, Soul, Dream, and my hearts together...

and share them with others.

We're putting our hearts together to share with others?

- Yes! - That's what a family is?

- Yes. - You're right.

So, let's do our best.

Right. Let's really do our best.

We must do our best. We have no other choice.

Let's go on a trip now!

(Let's forget the painful memories in the past...)

(and set on a journey to make new memories.)

(A journey to find the true meaning of "family" and more)

How was your day today?

It was a fun day.

(Haha's family trip, "HaHaBus." Shall we prepare for the journey now?)

- It's nice to meet you. - Hello.
