Chef Lu Ching Lai recalled his father's accident.

In the episode of TV CHOSUN 'Dad and Me' aired on the 6th, Chef Lu Ching Lai was depicted visiting his father's grave with his son Chef Yeomin.

Lu Ching Lai said that his father passed away when he was 5 years old, so he has almost no memories of him. Lu Ching Lai said, "I don’t remember much else, but I remember that he liked to drink."

Lu Ching Lai sprinkled makgeolli on his father's grave, saying, "Father, it's been a while since you've had makgeolli." Lu Ching Lai's son Yeomin also offered makgeolli in honor of his grandfather.

Lu Ching Lai said, "I didn’t really understand why people are buried in the ground when they die. I just thought it was fascinating. I was young at that time," and noted, "I have only brief memories of my father."

Lu Ching Lai said, "I remember my father being brought home in a wheelbarrow after he got drunk. He was always smiling. I also smile when I get drunk, don’t I?"

Lu Ching Lai said, "On the day my father had his accident, our family was originally planning to go to the movies. We decided to use the money earned from farming to watch a film. My mother and I were supposed to take the bus, while my father was meant to bring the vegetables. While he was bringing the vegetables, a car came and hit him."

Lu Ching Lai said, "I saw that scene. I remember telling my mom that dad had died. That was my last memory of him," adding, "I don’t know what that movie was, but it was the film that separated my father from his son."

Lu Ching Lai recalled, "It was winter, and the terminal was just one stop away. I suggested we go there and come back, but he passed away there." His son Yeomin said, "I also learned for the first time that my father witnessed my grandfather's accident. Our son is 5 years old, and that's the age when my father passed away."

Yeomin said, "Hearing that dad witnessed grandfather's accident struck me emotionally. I wondered how much he must miss him. How much he must have needed his father’s presence."
