In 'Dad and Me,' Lee Gun-joo expressed his feelings of remorse to his younger brother.
The TV Chosun entertainment show 'Dad and Me' aired on the 10th.
On this day, the actor known as Sun-dol, Lee Gun-joo, met his birth mother for the first time in 44 years, following his reunion with his younger brother, who had been adopted to France. As the reunion video was uploaded and views skyrocketed, Lee Gun-joo expressed, "I wondered if I was receiving this much attention; I felt heavy-hearted and worried about how it might appear."
Lee Gun-joo, who grew up under the care of his grandmother and aunt during his childhood, had always believed he was an only child, only to discover recently that he had a younger brother. He mentioned that he learned about the existence of his biological brother, who is two years younger, only after he had grown up.
Fortunately, Lee Gun-joo knew the exact name of his brother. His brother's name is Geon-cheol. When he learned about his brother's existence, Lee Gun-joo said, "I felt vaguely happy about the existence of my brother, but then it hit me that he is my biological brother who was abandoned far away, even more than I was." He held back tears.
Lee Gun-joo mentioned, "My brother had to live alone in various unfamiliar environments. I still had my aunt and grandmother, but my brother had no one beside him, and I feel endlessly sorry and saddened about that."
