The SBS entertainment show `My Ugly Baby' aired on the 2nd showed Lee Dong-gun heading to Hongcheon, Gangwon-do with his parents for the holiday. Hongcheon was the only travel destination that Lee Dong-gun's family had visited with their younger brother in their lifetime. In the car, Lee Dong-gun asked "Isn't it the only trip I went with Jun-yeop?" and his father "At that time, Jun-yeop was a high school student." We all went to Hongcheon together during the vacation, he recalled.
Lee Dong-gun's younger brother died 17 years ago in an accident while studying in Australia. Lee Dong-gun said "I think of Jun-yeop for no reason whenever I have a holiday," and his mother said "I went to see Jun-yeop the day before yesterday."I still expressed my longing for my son.
In the studio, Lee Dong-gun's mother expressed deep longing, saying, `Whenever I meet holidays, birthdays, and friends of my age, Jun-yeop comes to mind.' Later, at dinner, Lee Dong-gun handed his parents a special gift. It was a photo that restored the 37-year-old image of his younger brother, who died at the age of 20, using AI technology. He explained "If Jun-yeop was alive, it would have been like this."
My parents couldn't talk for a while after seeing the picture. Lee Dong-gun's father hated me```````````````````````. You're on your way to becoming a celebrity, so I wanted Junyeop to study until the end," he recalled. In the meantime, he expressed regret, saying, `Now that I think about it, I should have just left it alone to play games.'
He has never forgotten for a moment in 10 years after sending Jun-yeop. I thought I'd let the child go by mistake," he said, expressing a deep sense of guilt. Then "10 years later, I realized that I still couldn't let Jun-yeop go. So now I've decided not to hold on any more."
Lee Dong-gun's mother lost much of her memory after losing Jun-yeopThere are many things I can't remember even if I hear the story ". I didn't even remember a trip to Hongcheon at all."
