Actor and shaman Lee Geon-ju looks anxious yet hopeful before meeting his younger brother who was adopted to France immediately after birth.

On TV CHOSUN show ‘Dad and Me’ that will air on the afternoon of the 10th, actor and shaman Lee Gun-joo, who was a national child star and was loved for his role as ‘Soon-dol’ in the drama ‘Three Families Under One Roof’, will reunite with his biological younger brother who was adopted to France.Lee Gun-joo had previously revealed the existence of his younger brother, saying, “I have a biological younger brother who is two years younger than me.My younger brother was adopted through a welfare organization right after he was born.”

Lee Gun-joo said, “I was vaguely happy and glad when I heard that I had a younger sibling.But when I came to my senses, I felt so sorry.In a way, it was like being abandoned…” and expressed his regret towards his younger sibling who had grown up in a different environment from other children with different hair and eye colors in a foreign country.He said, “I didn’t know it, but I want to tell my mom and dad that I’m so sorry and that they had a hard time.And I want to hug them,” and headed to France, where his younger sibling, whom he had always missed, was.He also said, “I think about what my younger sibling is doing, if he’s eating well, and if he’s sick.I think I’m more worried than curious.I think I’ll feel less sorry if he’s doing well,” and he never stopped thinking about his younger sibling.



Lee Gun-ju told his younger brother what time he would arrive at the train station.However, in the middle of the French street, Lee Gun-ju was worried that his younger brother might not want to see him, thinking, “What if he doesn’t come out? What if he gets angry as soon as he sees me? What if he doesn’t say anything?” At that moment, a man came towards Lee Gun-ju from afar, smiling brightly.Lee Gun-ju also recognized him as his younger brother and burst into tears.Lee Gun-ju’s younger brother told him not to cry and hugged him, but Lee Gun-ju couldn’t stop crying, saying, “I missed you.I’m sorry.” Lee Gun-ju’s younger brother also welcomed Lee Gun-ju, saying, “I’m happy to see you, hyung.Thank you for coming here.”

Even though many years have passed, the story of the Lee Geon-ju brothers, who recognized each other at a glance, being revealed for the first time, can be seen on TV CHOSUN ‘Dad and Me’ airing tonight(the 10th)at 10 PM.
