In 'Great Guide 2,' Lee Geon-joo shared his unfortunate family history.
On the 15th, 'Great Guide Season 2' aired on MBC Every1.
Lee Geon-joo, loved by the entire nation as a child star, now lives as a shaman. Contrary to his glamorous appearance on TV, he revealed that he was separated from his parents at the age of 2 and was raised by his grandmother and aunts.
He revealed a hidden family history, noting that he has been estranged from his father for 10 years and does not know his mother's name or face, which drew sympathy from many. He recalled, "Parents are a painful word for me," and his attempt to hold back tears evoked more sympathy.
Subsequently, scenes depicted Lee Geon-joo celebrating his birthday alone without family. On his birthday, which was his first after becoming a shaman, he said, "I wondered what it would have been like if I had received a birthday meal," expressing many intertwined thoughts.
When evening came, Lee Geon-joo arrived at a restaurant and welcomed his spiritual father, asking, "Did my father come?" He acknowledged that this spirit is the one who led him onto the path of becoming a shaman. Lee Geon-joo stated, "He protects and embraces me because he is highly dependent on me, and he is a teacher I can respect. He is the one who made me who I am today, the only one who saved my life." He also mentioned, "It would have been great if my spiritual father had been my real father."
