'French Papa' Chef Lee Dong-jun recalled his wandering youth.

On the 22nd episode of tvN's variety program 'You Quiz on the Block', Chef Lee Dong-jun, who gained attention as 'French Papa' in 'Black and White Lisa 2', appeared alongside his twin brother Lee Dong-ha (Director), who works at Samsung SDS's sales team.

That day, Chef Lee Dong-jun mentioned a viral video of his younger brother titled 'Manager Kim from a Large Corporation', which dominated the workplace algorithm on reels. He said, "My staff told me that the chef was appearing in a reel. I never filmed one, but it turned out my brother was dancing, and the view count was enormous. I was very surprised."

He also revealed that his dream in his early 20s was to be part of the Orange Generation, drawing attention.

Chef Lee Dong-jun shared, "I loved movies. I admired actor Lee Jung-jae. There is a movie called 'Young Man', which discusses the dreams and future of the Orange Generation. When asked about their dreams, they reply, 'Let's open a cafe or something.' It looked so cool to me, someone who had no dreams at all."

In response, Yoo Jae-suk pointed out, "You were quite arrogant back then." Chef Lee Dong-jun confessed with regret, "That was the case. During my wandering period, my parents worked two jobs and saved money to help pay for my academy fees. When I was about to join the military, they told me, 'We have accumulated so much debt because of you.'"

Watching this, their father revealed that he had sold all the land in Gimhae while raising his two sons, expressing deep regret. The father remarked, "If we had kept that land, we would be very wealthy now; the kids squandered it all." His mother added firmly, "The two of you must earn money to pay it back," bringing laughter to the scene.
