'I don't know your name or your face'…Lee Kun-joo's 44 years of longing for me



Actor-turned-shaman Lee Kun-joo begins his journey to find his birth mother.

TV Chosun 'Dad and Me', which airs on the 15th, depicts Lee Kun-joo, a popular child actor in the 1970s, going out to find her biological mother for the first time in 44 years. Lee Kun-joo was separated from her parents at the age of 2 and raised by grandmothers and aunts, and has been out of touch with her father for 10 years. He even said he didn't know his mother's name or face, causing regret.

Lee Kun-joo said on the program, `Now I really want to see my mom" makes a determination. However, the only clue about her mother is her childhood name (anonym). Eventually, he visits the community center and gets a family relationship certificate, but the moment he receives the documents, he can't hide his firm expression. "My mind went blank. I don't know if it's because I'm a shaman, but what I thought was right, he said, expressing his confusion.




In addition, Lee Kun-joo confessed that she had the opportunity to meet her mother on a morning broadcast 15 years ago, but she gave up meeting after being hurt by her mother's words. It was a moment when the longing and hurt for the family, which had been buried deep in my heart for many years, came back to the surface.

'Dad and I' will air at 10 p.m. on the 15th.
