I meant ***Haebeom hahaha I kept saying Ho
Ho is the uke btw
He said he had been travelling to different countries and ended up meeting Haebom's mom in nuldongmae.. he only stayed for a year there, there was no reason for his family to think he'd have a loved one somewhere in a foreign land if he hasn't mentioned it.. and considering they didn't mention it to him for decades, he likely did not tell them at all or asked them to leave the matter be if they knew.. either way they wouldn't be in the wrong.. also even if they wanted to, haebom's dad was losing his memories, how'd they get in contact? And then he went into the coma for 2 years the when he did wake up he had no memories and a body that needed to relearn a whole lot of things anew.. noone is tp blame, its unfortunate but life is just tragic for some people..
I recently read about a irl story of a couple in late 1900s. The guy was from India and the girl was from Germany or something. She came to India, met the guy and fell in love but he family called her back sp she had to leave. The guy made up his mind, sold everything and bought a bicycle on which he travelled from India to Germany. He met her and her family there, they got married and settled in Germany and had kids and everything. Basically they separated, struggled and got their HE. But unfortunately not everyone does, haebom's parent's were one of those..
40 years is so long, affording recovery for that long is not easy. So both Ho's mom and dad are basically rich people. I'm just thinking why not one of dad's family/friends in the U.S. tried contacting the Nungdolmae village, it's upsetting. If he lived there for a year, someone with some sense should have tried contacting the village to tell them what's happening to him, in case he left a loved one there who wanted to know. It's a bit strange. I'm just glad he was able to reunite with Ho before he dies himself, and that Ho now know what's the reason he didn't have a father.
