'French Papa' chef Lee Dong-jun shared an update on his son with developmental disabilities.

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 Cooking Lisa 2', appeared alongside his twin brother Lee Dong-ha (Director), who works at Samsung SDS's sales team.

On this day, chef Lee Dong-jun revealed that he applied for 'Black and White Cooking Lisa 2' to help his son with developmental disabilities, moving the audience emotionally.

He recalled, "We sent him to daycare when he was two years old. A second birthday party was held, but the child seemed too different from other children of the same age. When we went to the hospital, he was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. We lived a hellish life for about a year. We couldn't accept it and felt the fear of losing our future."

He continued, "We wanted to treat the child as early as possible and wanted him to live in a better place, so we left the restaurant and went to the United States."

The child, who is sensitive to sensory inputs such as vision and hearing, found even boarding an airplane difficult. He said, "What was most painful for us were our parents. They suffered seeing me struggle because of our child. Now he has improved a lot. Yesterday, he returned to Korea with his mother. He wants to see his grandparents and live in Seoul. My younger brother also loves the child," he smiled.

His twin brother, Lee Dong-ha (Director), said, "Ja-ejin is so kind. He is kinder than our own children. We even go hiking together. He is my favorite nephew. If I could have a dream, I would take a leave of absence and live with Ja-ejin. I want to understand my older brother's heart," wiping away tears.
