Actor Oh Kwang-rok reunited with his son Oh Si-won after 7 years. However, he was shocked to learn the real reason why he had lost contact with his son during that time.

In the episode of the TV CHOSUN entertainment program ‘Dad and Me’ airing on the 13th, actor Oh Kwang-rok will join the show.

Oh Kwang-rok introduced himself as Oh Si-won's father, stating, "I divorced when my son was 5 years old, and we haven't lived together since," revealing that they have not spent nearly 30 years together. He continued, "Before COVID, it had been about 7 years since we last saw each other. There were no phone calls, and he didn't respond to texts," indicating that his son was avoiding his contact.

After finally getting in touch, Oh Kwang-rok was at a loss for words when he met his son after 7 years, and an awkward silence fell between the father and son.

After a long pause, his son Oh Si-won said, "To me, my dad was not a presence. He was someone worse than not being there." He added, "I think I avoided my dad's contact out of anger. The anger towards my dad hasn't subsided. It's been a long-standing emotion, and I still have resentment, but I don't know how to resolve it."

As Oh Si-won's pent-up emotions erupted, the studio guests Jeon Hyun-moo, Lee Seung-yeon, Lee Geon-joo, Jang Kwang, Yeo Kyung-rae, and Subin fell silent.

What could have caused Oh Si-won to be so angry, and what conflicts need to be resolved between the father and son who reunited after 7 years? Their story can be seen on ‘Dad and Me’ airing at 10 PM on the 13th.
