Seo Jang-hoon and Lee Sugeun shared honest stories about friendship.
On the 14th broadcast of KBS Joy's 'Ask Us Anything Fortune Teller,' Seo Jang-hoon and Lee Sugeun offered advice to a person who wanted to reconnect with a friend they had grown distant from.
On this day, a person working as a school teacher appeared. The person said, "I have a best friend that I’ve been really close with since college. We grew distant while preparing for a position at a private school. We lost contact for about 5 or 6 years, but since we were really close friends, I want to reach out again."
The person said they had worked as a contract teacher at a private school for about 10 years and then decided to challenge themselves to become a full-time employee. The person mentioned, "My friend’s wife introduced me to my best friend, so we both got married around the same time. We used to hang out together and visited each other's homes. Our firstborns are the same age, so the kids were friends too."
The person said that a full-time teacher was selected at the private school, and although both they and their friend applied, they did not get the job. The person remarked, "I thought deep down I would pass the first round. But the final result was that my friend passed."
The person noted, "Even though we became competitors, I hoped that we wouldn’t grow distant, but my friend’s reaction was cold." This drew attention. Later, the person said they studied hard for five years and became a public school teacher.
Seo Jang-hoon and Lee Sugeun expressed surprise at the story of the person losing contact even though their friend passed. Seo Jang-hoon said, "If they were going to reach out, they would have done so by now. Lee Sugeun is a friend who is really precious to me, but even if something disappointing happens, I feel like I would call and resolve it over a drink after three days."
Seo Jang-hoon advised, "You may be friends, but perhaps the depth of affection differed between you two." He continued, "Even if you fix a broken jar, it will still leak. I think it would be better to wait and see if your friend reaches out."
