In 'Father and Me,' Lee Geon-joo tearfully reunited with his younger brother, who he had been separated from by life, touching those who watched.
On the 10th, Lee Geon-joo had a tearful reunion on TV Chosun's entertainment show 'Father and Me.'
That day, the actor known as Seon-dol, Lee Geon-joo, met his biological mother after 44 years, followed by a meeting with his biological younger brother, who was adopted in France.
Fortunately, Lee Geon-joo, who knew his brother's name exactly, stated that his brother's name is Geon-cheol. When he learned of his brother's existence, Lee Geon-joo said, "I was vaguely happy to know my brother existed, but it hit me suddenly," adding, "I felt really sorry; when you think about it, he was the biological brother who was abandoned in a foreign country more than I was," and he fought back tears. Lee Geon-joo expressed, "My brother must have lived alone in various unfamiliar environments, while I at least had my aunt and grandmother; I feel endlessly sorry, sad, and heartbroken that no one would have been by his side."
He arrived at the Lyon train station, where his brother was. Showing both excitement and a heavy heart at the train station, Lee Geon-joo said, "I only informed them what time I would arrive," and shared, "I had many thoughts, wondering if my brother might come to pick me up. What if he changed his mind and doesn't show up? What if he is angry? What if he doesn't say anything?"
He revealed his cautious feelings, saying, "I want to say I'm sorry, I missed you, and thank you for enduring so well during this time. But after saying all the prepared words, what if my brother and I feel awkward? What should I do then?" Lee Geon-joo expressed concerns, saying, "I'm nervous and worried that my brother might not want to meet me, and I want to embrace and approach him until his heart opens up and relaxes," conveying his thoughts about whether his brother would want to see him as well and his desire to meet his brother.
At that moment, Lee Geon-joo tearfully recognized his brother from a distance. Fortunately, as soon as the brother saw Lee Geon-joo, he smiled brightly. They shed tears while embracing for the first time after waiting a long time. Finally meeting the blood relation after countless days, the brother confidently said, "Don't cry," conveying his feelings. The brother added, "I'm happy to meet you; I'm even happier you came here."
