In a tear-jerking episode of South Korean hit TV Variety show, "Infinity Challenge," Nation's MC Yoo Jaesuk flew to North Carolina to deliver a heartwarming meal to Faith Warner-Vazquez, but ended up helping other Korean adoptees in the United States.
Vazquez biological sister Park Kyung Hee sent a request to "Infinity Challenge" to send homemade meal to her pregnant sister who was adopted since she was young.
According to Star and Stripes, Vazquez, whose real name was Park Seon Young, was adopted when she was just four months old by a childless couple based in Hawaii through a South Korean agency. She followed the footsteps of his father in the Navy and joined the army after her highschool graduation.
Although hesitant at first, Vazquez gained contact with her birth parents and siblings when she travelled to Korea and contacted the agency in Seoul that managed her adoption.
Her mother, Park Hee Soon, claimed that when she gave birth to Vazquez, but her mother-in-law said that the baby is stillborn. She had no idea that the child was put up for adoption.
In the "Infinity Challenge" episode, Yoo Jaesuk is tasked to deliver seaweed soup, galbi, and other homemade Korean foods perfect for pregnant women. However, the Nation's MC tugged the heartstrings of viewers when he surprised Vazquez by bringing Vazquez birth family with him. Yoo Jaesuk reportedly used his own money to bring the whole family with him as a gift to the Vazquez.
It has become a tear-jerking reunion of the family as the Park family cannot move to the States and Vazquez is stationed in North Carolina and is raising a family of her own.
The episode also allotted some airtime to showcase other adopted Koreans looking for their birth parents and want to know more about their roots.
A lot of Koreans were adopted in the past when the country is still struggling and families cannot take care of their own children. Sometimes, children where used to pay off debts. Thus, poor families often fall victims of this fate.
