‘Actor and shaman’ Lee Gun-joo hinted at the possibility of meeting his father after 10 years through ‘My Dad and Me’.

The popular family entertainment show TV CHOSUN‘My Dad and Me’ has confirmed the first broadcast of season 2 on Tuesday, March 11 at 10 p.m. This season is garnering much attention as ‘Soondol’ Lee Gun-joo, who was a national child actor in the drama ‘Three Families Under One Roof’ and is currently a shaman, Chef Yeo Kyung-rae, who demonstrated the class of a ‘Chinese cuisine master’ for 50 years in ‘Black and White Chef: Culinary Class War’, and Chef Yeo Min, the eldest son who is following in his father‘s footsteps in the Chinese cuisine industry, are joining the show.

Meanwhile, Lee Gun-joo vented the resentment he has built up toward his father since childhood in the teaser video for ‘My Dad and Me’. Lee Gun-joo, who introduced himself as an ‘actor and shaman’, said, “It was so hard to even talk about this on air”, sharing his first thoughts. Lee Gun-joo, who grew up with his aunts and grandmother after his father left him when he was 2, revealed, “The last time he saw his dad was 10 years ago”. He then shocked everyone by confessing, “My dad was irresponsible and cowardly. I received threats and financial demands from him”.



Lee Gun-joo also expressed his regret for not being able to enjoy a normal daily life with his dad, such as going to the bathhouse together on his days off and eating delicious food together. He also mentioned the shackles with his father that he wanted to escape from, saying, “Why is my dad so different from other fathers... Can’t he just leave me alone?”. Although he tried hard to suppress his emotions throughout the story, Lee Gun-joo eventually burst into tears and revealed his painful feelings, saying, “I want to be more comfortable now.”

Even so, Lee Gun-joo revealed complex emotions mixed with hate and affection, saying, “I hate my father so much, but on the other hand, he seems like a really pitiful person. I wish he would become a father I can respect.” The teaser video ended with this confession, “When I first saw my dad, I didn’t know whether to cry or get angry… Do you really not want to see me until I die?” Will the 10-year reunion between Lee Gun-joo and his father, who is full of deep regret, come to fruition? You can find out on March 11th (Tuesday) at 10PM on Season 2 of ‘Dad and Me’.

‘Soondol’ Lee Gun-joo and ‘Chinese cuisine expert’ Yeo Kyung-rae join TV CHOSUN‘s ‘Dad and Me’ Season 2, which has returned even stronger. It will first air on March 11th (Tuesday) at 10PM.
