In 'Great Guide 2,' Lee Geon-joo explained the reason for rejecting a meeting with his mother 15 years ago.
On the 15th, through MBC Every1's entertainment program, 'Great Guide Season 2' aired.
Naturally, discussions about Lee Geon-joo's family ensued. Shin's father mentioned, 'My aunt cried to the point of collapsing when my mother received her shamanistic initiation,' to which Lee Geon-joo also said, 'I really cried a lot with my aunt, who strongly opposed, and I'm grateful that my aunt and grandmother raised me without any lack.'
Shin's father advised, 'Avoiding problems with parents won't solve anything, so I hope you don’t avoid them. Accept it calmly.'
They asked if he had never had the opportunity to meet. In fact, Lee Geon-joo referred to an incident 15 years ago when he almost met his mother through a morning broadcast program. At that time, Lee Geon-joo's mother was watching from a distance to meet her son, but Lee Geon-joo stated, 'I wasn't ready emotionally yet,' and chose to forgo the meeting. Looking back, it was a situation where he could have seen his mother. However, Lee Geon-joo said, 'I think I need to think a little more about it,' ultimately refusing the meeting.
Regarding this, Lee Geon-joo explained, 'Did he earn a lot of money? I heard such things, and I didn't want to meet that kind of mother,' and added, 'I don't know if the words were distorted or if I misunderstood. If it were now, I would ask about the intent, but I was too young back then, and it left me with a strong resentment,' revealing the reason why he parted without confirming the truth. Lee Geon-joo shared, 'After hearing the first words my mother said, I didn't want to meet. That one sentence made 15 years pass by.'
