Mun So-ri, Park Myung-soo, Kim Jung-min and Lumiko, and Kim Min-jae and Choi Yu-ra appeared on tvN's STORY entertainment show 'Each House Couple', which aired on the 30th.
On this day, Kim Min-jae confessed to his family's history of losing contact with his mother for nearly 40 years after breaking up with him at the age of 8.
Kim Min-jae said "My parents ran a big shoe store in the city, and the conflict deepened when it went bankrupt. My mother left home when I was eight years old."
Then "I haven't seen him since. I don't think I can fully give love to my children."
He said, "My father is always the same as your mother' said. So I didn't dare say I missed my mom."
Kim Min-jae said he felt like electricity was flowing when he saw a comment saying 'I'm a fan' on social media four years ago. When I checked, the main character of the comment was none other than her biological mother.
He "The feeling was too strong. I went in and it was a real mother," he recalled.
Later, Kim Min-jae tried to contact his mother, but when a video call came, he did not receive it because he was not ready. A few days later, he headed to Daegu to meet his mother with his wife Choi Yu-ra and two sons.
Kim Min-jae, who received his mother's address and visited him himself, put the letter in the mailbox instead of the doorbell. The letter contained a cautious mind "Isn't it possible to come and bother my mother even more because I miss her?"
The next day, I got a reply from my mother. "There is no trouble at all. I want to see you too. My heart aches when I think of you." Kim Min-jae, who read the warm line of message, said, `When I was young, a picture of the event was on my mother's profile. When I saw it, I thought, 'Mom remembers me.'," she said, with tears in her eyes.
