In 'Dad and Me,' Oh Kwang-rok confessed that he hasn't seen his son for seven years.
On the episode of TV CHOSUN 'Dad and Me' aired on the 13th, actor Oh Kwang-rok was depicted as having newly joined the show.
On this day, Jun Hyun-moo asked Oh Kwang-rok about his feelings joining as a father. Oh Kwang-rok said, "This time, I got another opportunity to see my son after seven years, and I think it has become a great opportunity. I am very nervous and want to do better for my son, so I am preparing myself to do well." This surprised everyone.
Oh Kwang-rok also revealed, "When my child was about 5 years old, I separated from Si-won's mother, and then Si-won's mother went back to her parents' home, which left me to live alone. That situation arose, and we no longer lived together. When poverty enters through the front door, love exits through the back door. Theatre does not provide for a living. Most people in theatre struggle. It is difficult to take care of oneself, let alone for three people to live together."
During the time he learned to ride a bicycle and when he attended kindergarten, there was no father in his son's childhood. The gap created during the time spent apart had also widened their father-son relationship. He said, "At the time of the divorce, it wasn't an era of mobile phones, so I had to call the home phone and have them switch the call. It wasn't something I could know at will, so all of this sounds like foolish excuses."
Three months ago, during a preliminary meeting, Oh Kwang-rok tried to contact his son but did not receive a response even after two months. In an interview, he speculated, "What I know is that my son is making music and loves to sing. He is working as a singer-songwriter, which has been his dream since he was young. After becoming an adult, he was making coffee and tea, so he is probably doing well now if he enjoys making music."
