Jun Su’s brother who is four years older than him, Lee Tak Su, came out as well on a special “siblings” episode. He was known for his good looks that resembled his father.

Joon Su, Tak Su, and their father remained on the show for just the first season before departing. Since then, news of the Lee brothers were spotted here and there through social media updates, television appearances, and news reports.

Recently, the older son, Tak Su’s social media post shocked netizens. He was no longer the 10-year-old boy we watched on television but a grown adult.

It looked like Tak Su followed in his father’s footsteps as an actor, as he performed in his school plays in high school. Then he continued with his theater career at Dongguk University in the Division of Theater.

What shocked netizens, however, was not just the fact that Tak Su has grown into a handsome young man—it was the fact that he is enlisting in the army. His friends posted pictures of him wishing him luck before he leaves for the army.
