"The brother of Lee Geon-joo, who was adopted to France, left poignant words and hinted that he would learn the reasons for his adoption after 41 years."

The preview of the TV Chosun entertainment show "The Father and I" aired on the 10th.

On this day, actor Lee Geon-joo, known as Sundo-yi, met his biological mother for the first time in 44 years and was set to meet his biological younger brother, who was adopted to France. Lee Geon-joo, who was raised by his grandmother and aunt during his childhood, learned that he had a younger sibling only recently, having believed he was an only child for a long time. He stated that he discovered the existence of his two-year-younger brother only after growing up when his aunt revealed it.

Currently, the younger brother is adopted in France. Lee Geon-joo said, "I was adopted right after I was born through a welfare agency." Therefore, he cannot speak Korean at all. Fortunately, Lee Geon-joo knew his younger brother's name precisely. His younger brother's name is Geon-cheol. When he learned of his younger brother's existence, Lee Geon-joo expressed, "I was vaguely happy about my younger brother's existence, but then it hit me. I felt so sorry because, after all, my biological brother was also abandoned in a foreign land, even more so than me," he choked up and held back tears.

The younger brother, currently 42 years old, is named Julien in France. He was adopted to France at the age of 1. The younger brother stated, "After I learned I was adopted, I had many questions about where I came from, what country I came from, and what my roots are."

In the preview, they decided to share their inner feelings as siblings, with the biological brother who was adopted to France 41 years ago for the first time. Lee Geon-joo cautiously asked his younger brother about his true feelings. The younger brother asked, "Why did my parents send me for adoption? Why was one left behind while only one was sent for adoption?" He inquired about the stories he had not heard until now. At the same time, the younger brother left a poignant remark, asking, "Why did our parents not fulfill their parental roles?"

Lee Geon-joo remarked, "It was a situation I didn't even know about," and expressed tears, asking, "Why did our parents... why did our siblings have to part ways?" He hinted at revealing the truth of the adoption that his younger brother learned after 41 years, leaving curiosity lingering.
