[Sportschosun, Reporter Kim So-hee] Model-turned-broadcaster Joo Woo-jae was moved to tears by his mother’s heartfelt confession.
On the 19th, Studio Two Plus released a preview video for the Netflix variety show "Doriver: Finding the Lost Screw, Season 5," titled "A Time Travel With Mom Before Death."
In the video, Joo Woo-jae took part in a segment centered on the question, "How much time have you spent with your mother?" He answered a series of questions about his mother.
When asked, "What song did your mom like in your 20s?" Joo Woo-jae could not come up with an answer right away. "My dad liked 'Moonlit Night of Silla,' but what did my mom like?" he said, before finally giving up with a sheepish "Pass."
The next question was, "What is your mother sorry she could not do for you?" After thinking for a moment, Joo Woo-jae replied, "Maybe she didn’t buy me the things I asked for when I was young?" But his mother’s real answer was completely different.
His mother said, "When you were born, I did not have enough breast milk. I have always felt sorry, wondering if that is why your body has been weak." As the long-held feelings in his mother’s heart came through, Joo Woo-jae was unable to speak and his eyes welled up with tears.
Joo Woo-jae explained, "I don’t think I wanted to drink breast milk, or maybe I just couldn’t be breastfed. So I was fed formula, and because I have always been physically weak, my mother kept saying things like that." He expressed his affection and gratitude.
When asked, "What does your mother want to do with you alone right now?" he answered, "A date." His answer matched his mother’s real response, adding to the emotional moment.
The final question was, "If you could ride a time machine, when would you want to go back to?" After a brief pause, Joo Woo-jae answered, "When I was born." His struggle to compose himself left viewers deeply moved as well.
Meanwhile, "Doriver? The Game of Death" is released on Netflix every Saturday at 11 a.m.
