TV Chosun 'Joseon Lovers' aired on the 29th showed Kim Tae-won meeting his New York son-in-law, Devin.
Kim Tae-won previously wanted to get a visa to attend his daughter's U.S. wedding. However, two previous convictions for cannabis smoking in 1987 and 1991 were hampered. Kim Tae-won, who was denied a visa, also applied for a visa waiver program (ESTA), but even this was rejected. Lawyers say that if there is a visa rejection record, Esta is automatically rejected. He advised that his visa would have been rejected because he had a bad interview attitude or could not be interviewed." Kim Tae-won applied for a visa once again after full preparation, but was also rejected.
In the end, Kim Tae-won was unable to attend her daughter's American wedding. Instead, his daughter and his wife visited Korea and met Kim Tae-won. New York's son-in-law, Devin, was a system developer who showed off his model-like visuals of more than 1 m 90. My father is an anchor who reports on the news, and my mother is a teacher and comes from an elite family.

But there were unexpected challenges. It was the barrier of English. Kim Tae-won, the only one in his family who does not speak English, was speechless and could not talk properly.
Devin wants to be close to Seohyun's family. I want to feel a bond together. I want to be close to my father-in-law. I hope you feel comfortable with me,' he said, trying to communicate with Kim Tae-won. Kim Tae-won also did not give up and continued the conversation with body language, and the two felt a connection.
The next day, the daughter couple came to Kim Tae-won's house. Kim Tae-won took out an old album and went on a memory trip. The daughter made Kim Tae-won proud by saying, `My father was my best friend when I was young.'
