Baek Il-seop, divorced from his divorced wife

Father and daughter Baek Il-seop shared their inner thoughts about their relationship with their ‘mother’ and expressed their concerns.

TV CHOSUN 'Dad and Me' released next week's trailer showing father and daughter Kang Joo-eun learning about their family's grave and Korean funeral culture. In addition, Baek Il-seop and his daughter, who visited a psychiatrist to receive psychological counseling, confessed their regrets and concerns that they had not been able to bring out before.

Kang Joo-eun and her daughter, who first set out to visit the grave site, could not keep their mouths shut about the reality of the 'expensive' funeral. According to the expert's introduction, the cost of the 'tree garden' was 5 million won for one place, and a large and good place cost a whopping 200 million won. While Kang Joo-eun's dad actively poured out questions, saying, "You don't know how fortunate it is to prepare for death in advance," Kang Joo-eun expressed complicated feelings, saying, "It gave me a strange feeling" to see her dad like that.

Kang Joo-eun and her daughter boarded a ship to experience 'Badajang', another way of saying farewell, which is a funeral held at sea following an arboretum. In fact, Kang Joo-eun, who was quietly watching the mourners performing the 'Badajang', expressed her sorrowful feelings, saying, "I was so sad. I thought I could come back in that way too." And while receiving guidance on specific funeral procedures such as cremation, burial, and urn, I shed tears that I had been holding back, saying, "It felt like someone else's story, but at that moment, it suddenly became clear. How much I want to go back to this moment."

Father and daughter Baek Il-seop visited a psychiatrist for psychological counseling. At this event, Baek Il-seop's daughter expressed her concerns, saying, "I feel a strange sense of guilt in my mother because I often come and go while broadcasting with my father." At the same time, he confessed, "It's not a matter of choosing between mother and father, but I'm not sure whether my mother will understand me."

On the other hand, when Baek Il-seop was asked, "Are you hearing news about your wife?" he said, "My daughter-in-law sometimes tells me, but I don't want to listen to it," causing regret. Regarding the reason, he said, "I have no reason to think about my wife. I lost my affection." He also revealed that he still has a closed mind toward his newly married wife, saying, "I don't want to see her. It's better not to listen to me."

Father and daughter Kang Joo-eun's tearful exploration of funeral culture and Baek Il-seop's father and daughter receiving psychological counseling on the topic of 'mother' will be revealed on 'Father and Me', which will air at 10 PM on the 24th.
