In ‘New Menu Launch Pyeon Restaurant,’ Kim Jaejoong shares his deep love for family along with his adoption story.
In the KBS entertainment program ‘New Menu Launch Pyeon Restaurant’ (hereafter ‘Pyeon Restaurant’) airing on the 24th, Kim Jaejoong spends warm moments with his sisters, who raised him with love and care as if he were their own son. As the fact that he was adopted at a young age comes to light, Kim Jaejoong, who has received much public attention, opens up about his adoption for the first time and shares his true feelings with his sisters. The meaning of ‘true family’ conveyed by Kim Jaejoong and his sisters is expected to fill Friday evening homes with deep emotion.
In the VCR released that day, Kim Jaejoong cooked and enjoyed delicious food with his sisters. While eating the food made by the youngest, Kim Jaejoong, the siblings laughed and reminisced about childhood memories after a long time. During the conversation, when Kim Jaejoong mentioned that he remembered being very sick when he was very young, his sisters were all surprised and momentarily speechless, asking, “You remember that?” The sisters recalled, “Do you remember that you had nosebleeds every other day when you were little?” and “We were so worried about you,” expressing their heartfelt concern. Adopted at the age of three, Kim Jaejoong was particularly weak, but he regained his health thanks to the devoted care and love of his entire family.
The sisters then reminisced, saying, “When Jaejoong first came to our house…” recalling their precious first meeting with the youngest, Kim Jaejoong, which they would never forget. The fourth sister, who was a middle school student at the time, shared her feelings upon seeing her younger brother for the first time, the stories their mother told, and how the sisters lovingly cared for their frail three-year-old brother, evoking a sense of warmth.
Kim Jaejoong stated, “I have never talked about my adoption with my sisters. Today is the first time.” He confessed, “It feels like it took too long to finally open up about it.” The sisters expressed their concerns, saying, “We were worried that bringing this up might be difficult for you,” and they shared their honest feelings with each other.
Later, Kim Jaejoong said in the ‘Pyeon Restaurant’ studio, “I don’t think the fact that I was adopted is important. What matters more is the present, and this time I spend with my family is precious.” The ‘Pyeon Restaurant’ crew nodded in agreement with Kim Jaejoong’s confession.
Kim Jaejoong’s family story will be revealed in ‘Pyeon Restaurant’ airing on the 24th at 8:30 PM.
