Singer and actor Kim Jaejoong has learned about his father's secret after 39 years.

In the episode of KBS2's ‘Newly Launched Restaurant’ aired on the 19th, Kim Jaejoong's daily life was depicted.

On this day, Kim Jaejoong's mother shared their tumultuous family history. Kim Jaejoong's father, who was born with a silver spoon and was wealthy, invested a large sum of money in a gas station business proposed by acquaintances while enjoying a prosperous married life with his mother, but ended up going bankrupt, leaving him with a debt of 100 million won.

However, this was just the beginning. Kim Jaejoong's father said, "I lost my mind. The business failed, and I was shocked by that. People said I was 'crazy'."

In particular, Kim Jaejoong's mother revealed, "During the difficult time after the gas station failed, my father experienced a mental illness. He was really out of his mind because he didn't receive any spiritual guidance. I didn't tell you, but a monk told him to go to a temple. So, I sent him to the temple."

Meanwhile, ‘Newly Launched Restaurant’ airs every Friday at 8:30 PM.
