• Dex Remembers the Death of His Grandfather: “My grandfather recently died His hands were like your father's”

    Dex was reminded of his late grandfather when he met Georgia’s father, Lati.

    On the September 6 episode of JTBC’s ‘My Name is Gabriel,’ Dex spent 72 hours living as Lati, a young man from rural Georgia.

    As Dex arrived in a quiet Georgian village to start his 72-hour stay as Lati, he found himself surrounded by Lati’s family, including his parents, wife, and two children.

    He enjoyed traditional Georgian meals, including chacha (local liquor) and home-cooked dishes, with his new family.

    While drinking chacha and feeling a bit tipsy, Dex showed off his muscles. Lati’s father playfully suggested an arm-wrestling match.

    During their chat, Dex shared, “My grandfather recently passed away. When I touched your father’s hands, they felt just like my grandfather’s,” adding, “My grandfather was also a farmer, so it brought back a lot of memories.”

    Dex described the texture of Lati’s father’s hands as “thick and rough,” which made him feel nostalgic. He then hugged Lati’s father and showed his playful side.
