Yoo Jae-suk of 'Yoo Quiz on the Block' was surprised to learn about the armed struggle of poet Lee Yuk-sa.
On the broadcast aired on the 13th, the daughter of poet Lee Yuk-sa, Lee Ok-bi, who left behind works such as 'Green Grape' and 'Wilderness,' appeared on the tvN entertainment program 'Yoo Quiz on the Block' (hereafter 'Yoo Quiz').
On this day, Lee Ok-bi recalled that her father, poet Lee Yuk-sa, named her, saying, "My uncle wanted to name me, but my father said, 'Why should you name her? I should do it.' and he didn't give me a name until I was 100 days old."
He gave her the name Ok-bi when she turned 100 days old. Lee Ok-bi explained, "It's a name meaning 'oil-rich jade.' When giving a name to a daughter or son, parents usually do so for good fortune, but my father gave me a name wishing me to be like 'Gandhi,' someone who selflessly considers others."
However, Lee Ok-bi noted that having a famous father was unfortunate. She said, "In fact, when I was in school, when teachers came in, they said, 'Memorize 'Green Grape' and 'Wilderness.' So I had to memorize my father's poems. I was unconditionally put into the literature club."
Meanwhile, Yoo Jae-suk said, "While we remember teacher Lee Yuk-sa as a poet of resistance, it turns out he was an independence fighter who engaged in armed struggle for his country and endured imprisonment 17 times," adding, "I also just learned this. I feel ashamed and sorry."
