Moon Hee Jun Shares Heartbreaking Family Story on ‘Table for 4’ About Father Leaving and Missing Mother’s Funeral


Moon Hee Jun, known as a former member of the iconic first-generation K-pop group H.O.T, has shared more about the difficult relationship he has had with his father. Speaking candidly in a recent TV appearance, the singer revealed that he’s been estranged from his dad for quite some time.
The tension seems to have deep roots. According to Moon Hee Jun, his father’s strict attitude had a big impact on their relationship growing up. Despite this, the singer admits that the issues between them are complicated and have lasted for years.
During the conversation, Moon opened up about the strain caused by their lack of communication and the emotional distance that developed between them over time.
"Sometimes, I still hope that things could be different, but it’s been really hard," Moon Hee Jun said, highlighting how much this part of his life has weighed on him.
What stands out is how this personal struggle contrasts with his public image. As a member of H.O.T, a group that helped lay the groundwork for modern K-pop, Moon’s life in the spotlight has always seemed pretty polished. Yet, this glimpse into his family life shows a much more vulnerable side.
Despite the difficulties, it’s clear that Moon Hee Jun has come to terms with the situation in his own way, reflecting on the past without bitterness but with a realistic view of what’s possible.
"At the end of the day, I just want to live my life peacefully, and I hope he’s happy too," he shared.
This story adds another layer to the narrative of Moon Hee Jun’s life beyond his music career—a reminder that even stars rooted in the history of K-pop deal with tough family issues just like anyone else.
