Gag Concert 'The Age of Romance', the noisy dining scene of families gathered on a holiday

The segment 'The Age of Romance' from KBS 2TV's 'Gag Concert' captured the complex and subtle appearances of families welcoming a holiday. In the video broadcast on September 20, 2026, various episodes are depicted, from the process of preparing holiday food to the family members gathering and eating together.

Preparing holiday food and the diverging footsteps of family members

The early part of the video shows the family preparing a large amount of food for the holiday. The cast shows the process of moving and sharing various holiday foods such as honey rice cakes, jeon, and japchae. While the people in the video prepare food while waiting for their children to arrive, a mix of holiday silence and anticipation is shown as news arrives that the eldest cannot come due to being busy, or another child cannot come due to having a cold.

In particular, during the food preparation process, a scene appears where they mention the quiet atmosphere despite it being a holiday, along with the line, "Who is going to eat all this food we made?" On the other hand, it contrasts with the sight of preparing plenty of food for the children, saying, "When they come, they eat it all until there's none left."

Mealtime where family nagging and conflicts intersect

As family members gather one by one and begin to eat, the typical nagging and conflicts of a holiday are revealed. Tension is formed in the process of asking about the children's recent lives or mentioning marriage and childbirth. In the video, revelations follow that the eldest brother lost money in stocks after selling the ancestral mountain, and confusing situations are staged in the process of confirming relationships between family members.

The cast points out the situation where they cannot embrace each other by asking, "Is this a family?" and shows the realistic side of family through conversations like, "Is it always nagging when we meet?" Additionally, attempts to change the atmosphere continue by shouting slogans like "Comfort up, comfort down" for the harmony of the family.

Couples' reminiscence and the sudden appearance of a child

During the meal, the atmosphere shifts as a conversation between a married couple continues. One person reminisces about the hard times in the past and confesses, "It was so good because every moment was with you." It is a part where affectionate feelings toward a spouse, who said they were okay while hiding their illness, are revealed.

Afterward, the dining table regains vitality as the child who said they could not come suddenly appears, citing reasons such as a flight cancellation. The video concludes with a scene where the family, gathered after a long time, continues their meal while sharing the prepared food together.
