Lee Min-woo, first confession in 42 years

Former child actor Lee Min-woo reveals for the first time the reason why he stopped working.

In episode 48 of Channel A's 'Mom's Travel Because I Like Go Doo-shim', which will air on the 28th, Lee Min-woo, a former child actor with 42 years of experience, will appear as a guest.

On this day's broadcast, Go Doo-shim and Lee Min-woo go on a trip to Ganghwa Island in Incheon. Lee Min-woo has been acting for a long time, but he hasn't been seen on TV for a while. Go Doo-shim, who had affection for Lee Min-woo, a senior actor he had seen since childhood, asked, “How have you been?”

Lee Min-woo confesses, “I stopped everything for five years. I felt broken.” He said, "Ever since I was five years old, I have never had a break for more than a month and have been going back and forth to the filming set. I have never been able to go on a picnic during my school days."

Lee Min-woo revealed the worries he was having alone, saying, “There is a process that people have to go through from childhood, and that experience becomes the foundation of life, but I was in the adult world without going through this.” In response, Go Doo-shim said, "He is a born actor with sensitive emotions," and sympathized with him, saying, "This is a problem you will face if you start acting at a young age."

Go Doo-shim and Lee Min-woo enjoy a trip back in time at a market in Gyodong Island, Ganghwa-gun, Incheon, which retains the appearance of the 1970s and 1980s. You can also take the monorail to the observatory and enjoy the view of Gyodong Island and North Korea's Yeonbaek Plain at a glance. In addition, the two people return to their childhood at the Sound Museum and enjoy listening to various sounds.
