He particularly mentions that he couldn’t stop crying during his shamanic calling, and a related video is revealed, surprising everyone. When footage of him climbing onto the sword while crying is shown, it reportedly left everyone in shock.
Meanwhile, just as everyone was listening seriously to his story, Lee Geon-joo’s ‘spiritual sister’ and participant in ‘Love with Spirits’, Ham Soo-yeon, makes a surprise appearance. With her sharp intuition, she reads the short fortunes of the four MCs, leaving everyone astonished. It raises curiosity about what the content was.
On the other hand, as a shaman, Lee Geon-joo shares various stories about the challenges he faces due to clients seeking his help. He also surprises everyone with tales of a power struggle with a client who is also a shaman and how his phone became unresponsive due to an influx of reservations.
Memories from the ‘Sundol’ days are also recalled. He reveals that during his peak popularity as a child actor, he stood shoulder to shoulder with Shim Hyung-rae, who was an icon of ‘children’s idols’ in the 1980s. Additionally, a ‘Sundol memory video’ showcasing his activities will be revealed, generating excitement.
