Actor and shaman Lee Geon-ju shows signs of anxiety despite feeling excited before meeting his younger brother, who was adopted by France shortly after birth.
Tonight (10th) at 10 p.m., TV CHOSUN's 'Dad and Me' will feature Lee Geon-ju, a beloved national child star who played the role of 'Sundori' in the drama 'One Roof, Three Families,' reuniting with his biological brother adopted by France. Previously, Lee Geon-ju noted, 'I have a younger brother who is 2 years younger. He was adopted through a welfare agency right after birth,' revealing the existence of his younger brother.
Lee Geon-ju said, 'I felt abstractly happy and glad to hear that I have a brother. But then I felt a sudden guilt, because in a way, it's like he was abandoned...' expressing his remorse for his biological brother, who likely grew up in a different environment with children who have different hair colors and eye colors. He added, 'I didn't know, but I want to say on behalf of mom and dad that I'm very sorry and that he must have had a hard time. I want to hug him,' as he headed to France to meet the brother he had always longed for. He continued, 'I wonder what my brother is doing, if he is eating well, and if he is not in pain. It seems like rather than being curious, I am worried. I think I will feel less guilty if he is doing well.'
Lee Geon-ju informed his biological brother of the time he would arrive at the train station. However, in the middle of the road in France, Lee Geon-ju felt anxious, thinking, 'What if he doesn't come out? What if he gets angry as soon as we meet? What if he doesn't say anything at all?' fearing that his brother might not want to meet him. At that moment, a man approached with a big smile from a distance and came closer to Lee Geon-ju.
Lee Geon-ju instantly recognized that he was his biological brother and burst into tears. His brother hugged him, saying not to cry, and Lee Geon-ju couldn't stop crying, saying, 'I missed you. I'm sorry.' His brother then welcomed Lee Geon-ju, saying, 'I'm happy to meet you, brother. Thank you for coming here.'
Although many years have passed, the story of Lee Geon-ju and his brother, who recognized each other at first glance, can be seen tonight (10th) at 10 p.m. on TV CHOSUN's 'Dad and Me.'
