In the broadcast of TV Chosun's 'Dad and Me' aired on the 15th.
On this day, Lee Geon-joo went on a date with his great aunt, who raised him.
Regarding his great aunt, Lee Geon-joo said, "She is like my life," and his great aunt also said, "To me, you are like a son; it's a bond that heaven has given us," bringing tears to onlookers.
He then cautiously asked about his parents. His great aunt explained, "It's true that the two got divorced, they didn't hold a wedding ceremony, but they filed for marriage due to an unexpected child," and mentioned that his father joined the military at 22, while his mother, who was 20, gave birth alone at her in-laws.
Lee Geon-joo said, "It's the first time I seriously talked about my mother with my great aunt," showing that he was gradually learning more about his mother.
Especially, his great aunt met his mother instead of Lee Geon-joo, who had rejected her 15 years ago. When Lee Geon-joo said, "I feel like if I don’t meet my mother now, I might not get another chance," his mother also noted, "It may not be possible later." In response, Lee Geon-joo asked, "What would you think if I met my mother?" and his great aunt encouraged him, saying, "It's natural to be curious, I hope you can resolve that."
However, Lee Geon-joo had many concerns because his mother was in a remarried family. His great aunt advised, "Knowing your mother’s personality, she probably hid your existence and didn’t get married," and encouraged him, saying, "Think comfortably; if it's good for you, then it's a definite 'yes.' It’s natural to seek out your blood ties."
