‘Soondol’ Lee Gun-joo confesses that his father, who left him when he was 2, demanded money and threatened to expose him.

On TV CHOSUN‘s ‘Dad and Me’ Season 2, which will air for the first time at 10 p.m. today (11th), the unfortunate story of ‘actor and shaman’ Lee Gun-joo’s 10-year estrangement from his father will be revealed for the first time on TV. The love-hate relationship between Chef Yeo Kyung-rae, a ‘Chinese cuisine expert’ for 51 years, and his eldest son Chef Yeo Min, who works as an assistant chef at his father‘s restaurant, will also be covered.

Lee Gun-joo, who revealed that he was raised by his aunts since he was 2, decided to appear in the family variety show ‘Dad and Me’ after much thought. Lee Gun-joo, who has never spent a birthday with his parents, brings everyone to tears by expressing his regret, saying, “I don’t think they even remember when my birthday is.”

Lee Gun-joo mentions that he and his father have been out of contact since his grandmother’s funeral 10 years ago, and they have not heard from him since. He confesses the reason for this, saying, “It made me extremely angry that he used me as bait to make financial demands on my aunts, whom I cherish like my life.”

He adds that these demands from his father have continued since the days when Lee Gun-joo was enjoying nationwide popularity as Soon-dol in “Three Families Under One Roof” and even recently. In addition, he revealed that he received a threat from his father saying, “If you don’t give in to his financial demands, I will meet an entertainment reporter and tell you something,” causing great shock.

The story of ‘Soondol-i’ Lee Gun-joo and his father, which will be revealed for the first time on TV, will be revealed on TV CHOSUN’s ‘Dad and Me’ at 10 p.m. on Tuesday the 11th.
