Singer Jaejoong made a notable appearance on a TV show, where he revealed personal details about his adoption. Appearing on MBC's Radio Star , he shared that although he was adopted at the age of three into a family with eight girls, he only found out about his adoption after his debut with the group TVXQ .

During the October 16 episode of Radio Star , Jaejoong explained, " I was adopted at a very young age, at three years old, by a family that already had eight daughters. At the time, I didn't know that I was adopted. It wasn't until after my debut with TVXQ that I found out the truth. "

The singer went on to reveal that the moment of this revelation occurred during the filming of a music video. " While filming the 'Believe' music video in Busan, I received a call from an unknown number. Despite frequent calls from obsessive fans, something compelled me to answer. The caller asked for my news using the name that only my uncle used during my childhood, which triggered something. "

Jaejoong also expressed his gratitude to his family and close friends, who kept his adoption a secret to protect him. He also shared a touching memory about his sister, who hid her own birthday to avoid rumors, given their closeness in age.

The moving story of Jaejoong's biological mother, Oh Seo Jin, was also brought up. Born into a prestigious family but having fallen on hard times, Oh Seo Jin was forced to place Jaejoong up for adoption due to desperate circumstances, exacerbated by a tumultuous marital relationship and poverty.

This story not only reveals the challenges faced by Jaejoong and his biological family, but also highlights the complexity of family bonds and the power of personal resilience.
