A sincere desire for peace emerged as Lee Seung-yeon confronted the complexities of her family relationships. In a recent episode of the TV CHOSUN JOY program 'Dad and I', Lee shared her candid emotions regarding the relationship between the mother who raised her and her biological mother.

"Resentment is in the past"... A foster mother's forgiveness and acceptance

During the program, Lee spent time conversing with her foster mother. The conversation touched upon Lee's past hesitation to meet her biological mother, Ms. Jeong. Her foster mother candidly expressed the resentment and sense of betrayal she felt when Lee was reluctant to meet her biological mother years ago.

However, the foster mother demonstrated that she no longer dwells on those grievances. "I am my own enemy, so whose fault could it be?" she stated, signaling that the past is behind them. She further emphasized her priority for current peace, noting that she would not force a meeting if Lee felt uncomfortable.

Lee Seung-yeon's wish: "For everyone to live in peace"

Acting as a bridge between her biological and foster mothers, Lee expressed her hope that everyone could lighten their emotional burdens. She suggested that facing the reality of her relationship with her biological mother might actually be better for everyone in the long run. This approach is not about reopening old wounds, but rather a necessary process to ensure peace for the remainder of their lives.

Lee explained that her foster mother had encouraged the meeting because "that's the only way [the biological mother] can feel at peace." Lee's own desire to be a source of comfort to both women was evident. "Perhaps we can create a true Happy Ending for each of us if we open our hearts just a little," Lee said, expressing her commitment to the family's collective tranquility.

The possibility of reconciliation beyond complex family history

The episode also depicted Lee's father's longing for her biological mother and the varying perspectives of the family members watching the situation unfold. While recalling the hardships of raising Lee, her foster mother showed that her heart is now open, refusing to view the relationship with the biological mother through a purely negative lens.

Through their mutual efforts to understand one another, the cast concluded the conversation by exploring how family members in such different positions can move past conflict to achieve their own "Happy Ending."
