Lee Sugeun shared his family story and deeply empathized with the participant.
On the Nov. 9 broadcast of KBS Joy's 'Ask Us Anything Fortune Teller' (hereafter referred to as Ask Us Anything Fortune Teller), a participant appeared who was upset that he could not sit at the head table at his daughter's wedding.
The participant stated that he divorced his wife and recently learned that his second daughter is getting married. The participant revealed, "My daughter said (Dad) can’t sit at the head table. She didn’t say not to come." He added that the new father will be sitting at the head table.
The participant said, "My ex-wife went to church and started working at a junkyard for evangelism. One day, my ex-wife suddenly said she was taking the kids to hang out with that guy. I told her not to go, but she took all three kids to a pension. That was before the divorce. She said it was fine to take the kids. She didn’t sleep and came back late." Seo Jang-hoon made a face indicating he could not understand.
The participant, who knew each other's families, stated, "After that incident, we separated. I suddenly received a divorce notice from my wife. Not wanting to fight, I just went ahead with the divorce." The participant mentioned that after the divorce, his wife took custody and that he did not provide child support.
The participant stated that he used to meet with his children frequently until a month ago. Seo Jang-hoon asked, "You were getting along well, but now you’re saying not to sit at the head table?" The participant confirmed and explained that he told his daughter not to contact him for a while.
Seo Jang-hoon explained, "The participant may not understand, but the daughter does not have bad intentions with that. There is someone living with her mother. That’s someone she has lived with for over 12 years. If the new father is a good person, there is bound to be a human connection." Seo Jang-hoon suggested, "How about reserving a small restaurant for the daughter and son-in-law to come and greet the family on the paternal side?" Lee Sugeun also added, "I agree."
Seo Jang-hoon said, "You may feel very angry inside, but it is your daughter's wedding," while Lee Sugeun noted that he has also faced situations due to his father, explaining, "Looking from a child's perspective, the father hasn’t done everything right either. The father didn’t raise the children. In any case, the mother raised the three children well. What did the father do? Took them to a movie and bought them meals sometimes. If the daughter didn’t like her father, she wouldn’t even contact him for the wedding. Nevertheless, having talked well shows that the daughter is trying to maintain respect. There is a lot of affection towards her father."
