Lee Kun-joo, the truth of his 44-year-old breakup, never abandoned his son..Watching the growth process, sobbing (with my dad)

Apr 23, 2025

Broadcaster Lee Kun-joo met his real mother for the first time in 44 years.

Lee Kun-joo, a shaman from a child star and a former child star, reunited with her mother after 44 years on TV CHOSUN 'Dad and Me' which aired on the 22nd.

Lee Kun-joo "Today, I'm finally going to meet my mother.Strangely, before I found out about my mother, I had a feeling that she would be in Gangwon-do, but she was also in Gangneung." The hat that lived two hours away but stayed 44 years apart.

Lee Kun-joo, who found her mother on a broadcast in the past, did not meet her in the end. Lee Kun-joo said, "I said I wouldn't meet you then, but isn't it different this time. I'm trying to accept the choice."

Lee Kun-joo "What does it look like. I wonder if he looks like me"I waited for the meeting with my mother, which took too long. "I was so nervous, I was so nervous", the mother cried and held her son with open arms. My mother sobbed, saying, `I missed you a lot, Geonju.' A mother's arms that she's never hugged before.

Lee Kun-joo "I don't know what to do. I cried, too, but I didn't know what emotion this was. Whether it's tears of longing, upset, or relief. Honestly, I don't know. Still, I was in tears," he confessed.

My mother said, "You and I look a lot alike, don't you?," he said, facing his son. Mother wanted to say that she missed her. Thank you for growing up well. Mom always never forgot in her heart. "My mother drew you, cried, laughed, and so on," she confessed what she wanted to say to her son.

What I say to my mother for the first time since I was born. Lee Kun-joo was curious. What kind of person it is and if it looks like me. I didn't know anything about it, so my mother said "I thought Gun-ju would think of my mother "You left me behind". Actually, that's not the case. How much did he resent his mother?" he wiped away his tears.

44 years of mixed mother and son. Lee Kun-joo "I can't go in front of the house. It felt strange and strange. I don't even know what to say and how to bring it up, he confessed. Questions about my mom from all over the place.

Lee Kun-joo "I had to think about the situation of my remarried mother. I thought about coming to see it with a smile, but when I came, I cried. I never thought we would meet like this."

Mother said "I wanted to meet you. I wanted to meet you if I knew your contact number, but there was no way. I wanted to tell you everything. I had no choice but to come out, I didn't abandon you. I saw you cry on the show and I thought there must be a misunderstanding`.

My mother was going to bring the governor with her. I said, "I'll raise it," but my ex-husband said, "Never." So I couldn't bring him back. I got divorced and came out (on my own)."

Lee Kun-joo "I had a feeling of rejection when I was a child. It's not my fault, but my mother said "How much did the child find his mother?" I watched in the same neighborhood and cried alone. The owner lived in a red iron gate house. I also remember the shape of my hair. I thought he would say something to me when I saw him from a distance, so I looked at him from a distance and felt heartache. `Only grow up pretty,' he recalled.

My mother knew everything from Lee Kun-joo's refrigerator situation to her favorite food. A hat that even resembles a foodie. My mother sells fish. They sell both hairtail and mackerel. If you want anything, I'll send you everything you want."

My mother, who runs a fish shop in the market, used to run a coffee shop by the sea. I didn't want to show my mom what she did well, but I didn't want to show her shabby appearance. Even if I wanted to find it, I couldn't do it at will."

Now the mother was remarried and had two children. The mother said "The children know your existence. The younger sister also asked if she had met Geonju and showed pictures of her two younger siblings with different surnames.

Younger brothers who look exactly like Lee Kun-joo. Lee Kun-joo couldn't take his eyes off the younger brothers he had never seen before. He was fortunate to say 'I already know' when I asked him what was concerning. the idea of 'you know my existence' I was grateful that I was silently watching."

Mother who had double eyelid surgery "It was the same as your eyes before. Didn't I give birth to you well?" only then smiled.

Lee Kun-joo "There's something I wanted to ask my mother. Tell the production team 'Is the owner making money well?I heard he said " and my mother didn't say that. I was also puzzled to hear that. I never said that'` he said in frustration. Lee Kun-joo "It would have been different if I had heard that now, but at that time, I felt a backlash. 'Was that the only thing she was curious about?' I thought so. I think differently now."

Mother is sorry, Lee Kun-joo "I'm sorry for leaving you young. I wanted you to clear up the misunderstanding." Lee Kun-joo said, "After meeting my mom, I wonder why I've only refused."It wasn't until decades later that I regretted it.

The mother put her son's face in her eyes, saying that she wanted to cook for her son again whether his birthday remained in her heart. My mother smiled "I came crying my heart out before I came."

It was a long time before I met my mom. Lee Kun-joo "I'd like to say thank you for waiting because my mother must have waited. It took 44 years, but I think it will be special today and thank the production team."

Lee Kun-joo said "Just because the coagulation is gone, you won't be able to live like the relationship you had with your aunt. Still, I'm trying hard to make even one step.'
