In 'Dad and Me,' actor and shaman Lee Geon-joo confessed the reason why he gave up meeting his mother 15 years ago.

On the broadcast of TV Chosun's 'Dad and Me' on the 15th, Lee Geon-joo appeared and mentioned the broadcast from 15 years ago.

That evening, upon arriving at a restaurant, Lee Geon-joo greeted his father, asking if he had come. He was the one who guided him on the path of a shaman.

This naturally led to discussions about Lee Geon-joo's family. Lee Geon-joo began cautiously, saying, "I have never said why I was angry with my father," and added, "I have no memories of my mother; the last time I saw my father was 10 years ago when my grandmother passed away," stating that what he saw at the funeral home was the last time. He reflected, saying, "The word 'parent' is a painful term for me," and held back tears, eliciting sympathy.

His father advised, "Running away from problems with parents won't solve them; I hope you don't avoid them. Accept it calmly." Then, asking if he perhaps did not want to meet his parents, Lee Geon-joo replied, "I don't want to meet my dad; I just hope he is living well," and added, "If I were to meet someone, I would like to meet my mother because I have never met her, and I'm curious about her name and appearance." Unlike his father, he doesn't even have a contact number.

He was asked if he had never had a chance to meet. In fact, Lee Geon-joo mentioned an occasion 15 years ago when he almost met his mother through a morning broadcast program, stating that his mother had been watching him from a distance to meet, but Lee Geon-joo had given up the meeting, saying, "I wasn't ready yet."

Regarding this, Lee Geon-joo said, "Did she make a lot of money?" and expressed that he did not want to meet such a mother, adding, "I don't know if it was a misunderstanding or if the words were distorted, but I felt a strong aversion," explaining the reason why he couldn't confirm the truth and parted ways.

Lee Geon-joo stated, "I didn't want to meet after hearing my mother's first words. That one comment has passed 15 years," revealing painful family history. His expectations for his mother turned into disappointment. Lee Geon-joo said, "I think it's right not to meet; I felt aversion," while Jeon Hyun-moo lamented, "If I had asked directly instead of hearing it from someone, it wouldn't have ended this futilely."
