'Same Bed Different Dreams2' — Lee Jang-won's grandfather recalled painful memories from the Japanese colonial era.

On the 1st, SBS's 'Same Bed Different Dreams2: You Are My Destiny' revealed the life of living with a 100-year-old grandfather. Lee Jang-won and Bae Da-hae shared their experience cohabiting with Lee Hyeon-seop, who was born in 1926 — 11 years older than actress Kim Young-ok.

He recalled: "I entered first grade in 1933. However, the Korean language textbook disappeared, so I learned only in Japanese. My name was changed. Japan intended to send Korean youth to war. There was a volunteer system, but when that failed, they ultimately conscripted Koreans as well. At age 20, men were forcibly drafted into the military."

Reflecting on liberation in 1945, Lee Hyeon-seop said: "I wondered how liberation would unfold. Initially, we heard only of Japan's surrender. But within a day or two, everyone came out onto the streets, shouting 'Long live Korea' and celebrating. I felt something was changing." He expressed the joy of liberation.

He even added: "Afterward, the Korean Preparatory Committee for National Liberation was established. Kim Il-sung appeared and claimed he had liberated Korea himself, promising to turn South Korea into a good country under the Communist Party." His vivid account of the complex social atmosphere before the Korean War drew attention.
