Jaejoong from 'Convenience Restaurant' shed tears over the sincerity of his father and sisters.
On the 4th, the KBS2 entertainment show 'New Launch Convenience Restaurant' (hereafter 'Convenience Restaurant') depicted Jaejoong preparing a special 'hwehonrye' for his parents' 60th wedding anniversary.
On this day, Jaejoong said, 'I prepared an event for my parents' 60th wedding anniversary hwehonrye. I created a time for the whole family to gather,' noting that he took care of everything from planning, directing, to lending a five-star hotel banquet hall located in Yeouido, which drew attention.
As the hwehonrye officially commenced, Jaejoong took on the role of emcee. The nine siblings bowed to their parents, saying, 'Thank you for giving birth to us and raising us. We love you. May you live a long and healthy life.' The sons-in-law and grandchildren present also bowed in turn. In response, the mother said, 'I am so grateful to have been born as your children.'
In the meantime, Jaejoong prepared an abundant feast including beef steak, steamed filefish with bean sprouts, royal court japchae, and seafood salad, which drew admiration. Furthermore, the luxurious desserts and tiered cake of the five-star hotel captured the family's attention.
Starting with his parents' 60th anniversary, Jaejoong combined the birthdays of 26 people into one cake, bringing smiles.
Jaejoong's father expressed to the family, 'I feel proud to have everyone gather like this. Are you all really my children? Thank you. I hope you all continue to grow up harmoniously and remain close as you have until the end. I should have treated you better, but I am sincerely sorry for not being able to do so,' while shedding tears.
Seeing their father's tears, Jaejoong and his sisters were also moved to tears, and the father conveyed, 'I am very grateful that I could raise you well, despite not being able to dress you as well as others.' In response, Jaejoong said, 'This is the first time I've seen my father cry.' In a subsequent interview, Jaejoong noted, 'When my father was speaking, I was moved by the sight of him wiping his tears. Knowing the challenges and numerous waves he faced throughout his life made me cry even more.'
On this day, the fourth sister recited a surprise letter for Jaejoong. The sister said, 'I still vividly remember when you first came home. How small and pretty you were. I would help you sleep at night when you cried, and you slept well then; you were like an angel. I believe that those memories of us nine siblings having fun together and caring for each other became a happy foundation for us to grow with respect and support each other. I hope we can continue to be a source of strength for each other, just like in the past. I love you.'
The fifth sister reminisced about Jaejoong, saying, 'He was so white and beautiful. I thought, 'Is such a pretty younger brother really my brother?' I kept looking at him. Even when he was sleeping, I'd glance at him twice. On the first day, he was sitting next to my mother, and that sight was so pleasing to see.'
The eighth sister recalled, 'I saw him when he was about three or four years old. They said my brother was coming. Unknowingly, I hugged him. I realized that he was my brother, my family. I knew about the adoption, but I didn't show it. Since we were the same grade, I didn't want to think that my brother wasn't my brother. We did a blood type test, and Jaejoong said, 'Mom, I'm O type too,' and he seemed so happy. I was so nervous that a different blood type might come up, but he was coming with a bright smile. I thought I needed to protect him even more.'
Jaejoong, who cried at his sisters' sincerity, said, 'I never knew this. I have never directly heard what they have felt for me. It's like hearing it for the first time. I felt that I need to live more warmly and closely with my family for the rest of my life.'
Meanwhile, Nam Bora asked, 'If you get paired up, will you introduce them to your sisters?' She asked with a heart full of the sisters' feelings. Jaejoong replied, 'That's not going to happen. It will be the same even after 20 years. I will not introduce a partner to my sisters when I have one. I apologize in advance for that,' which brought laughter.
