“First, I will correct the errors in the content reported by the media. Regarding my son meeting his bride.”

Facing the camera, Chairman Kennedy spoke solemnly.

“In fact, it was not in middle school but when he was in the second grade of elementary school.”

Even the journalists paused their fingers, surprised by the revelation.

“I, like a fool, lived without even knowing I had a son. At that time, my son, for various reasons, had separated from his birth mother and was growing up in someone else’s hands. The guardian would often leave my young son alone at home for days. Because of that, my son was neglected, not receiving proper meals or care. … The prospective bride, who is now the target of criticism, took in my son, who was neglected in such a way.”

In this long story, Chairman Kennedy spoke without stumbling even once. He didn’t even look at the prepared script.

“My son, Taeha, was in the second grade of elementary school, and the girl was only a first-year high school student at that time. Even though she herself was still a young girl, from that time, she visited my son’s house every day, cooked meals, and taught him. The article freely mentioned her as a private tutor, but where in the world would you find such a tutor?”

Passion reflected in Chairman Kennedy’s sculpted face. The atmosphere seemed like he might burst into anger, but he calmly continued.

“I first found my son when Taeha was already in high school. I remember the day I first met my son. He had become such a splendid young man that it was hard to believe he had grown up without parents. At a glance, I could see that someone had raised my child with all their heart.”

Every word carried a childlike sincerity, vividly felt by the journalists and likely conveyed to the viewers watching the live broadcast.

“That person was none other than my son’s prospective bride. While foolish parents didn’t even know how their child was living, that girl was feeding, clothing, and teaching my child with her own strength. When I first met her, that girl had just graduated from college, yet she was still wearing worn-out sneakers. That’s when she was in the most beautiful and radiant age of a person’s life.”

Chairman Kennedy referred to his son as ‘my son’ and the prospective bride as ‘that girl.’ Both terms carried an equal weight of affection.

“That girl taught my son the alphabet, ABC, and more. If it weren’t for her, my son wouldn’t be the successful person he is today. For those who have read the reports and wonder how sad the parents must be by now, yes, it’s very heartbreaking. The mother who gave birth to Taeha is crying because she has no face to see her daughter-in-law. I feel the same way, and that’s why I’m here to speak directly to you all.”

After taking a moment to catch his breath, Chairman Kennedy continued.

“Next, I will clarify the rumor that they have been dating since middle school. When I first met my son, I suggested going to the United States together. However, my son refused outright. It was because that girl was in Korea, and he couldn’t leave her alone. It was already clear that he deeply loved her from that time, but I thought it was only natural. How could you not love someone like her, like an angel?”

The sincere appeal in Chairman Kennedy’s genuine voice naturally led the listeners to think in the same way. Ah, that woman was indeed someone worthy of love, even in the eyes of parents.
“Namely, it was my son who had a one-sided love since he was a minor, not that girl. That girl never considered my son as a man, so I personally witnessed my son suffering from unrequited love for several years. No one knows the circumstances better than I do as his father.”

After finishing the long story, Chairman Kennedy straightened his posture and looked around the camera. With a different and resolute tone, he spoke.

“My son’s prospective bride is not a daughter-in-law but my daughter. Therefore, in all the upcoming reports, we will respond rigorously at the company level. We ask for responsible reporting. Thank you.”

As soon as Chairman Kennedy finished the prepared story, journalists eagerly raised their hands and asked questions.

“Excuse me, Chairman. You and Representative Yoon Taeha don’t seem to have much age difference.”

“Yes, am I a bit old?”

Laughter erupted, and Chairman Kennedy wore a slightly embarrassed expression.

“Actually, Taeha is a child I received when I was twenty years old in Korean age. You can understand it that way.”

“Why on earth did a child with perfectly fine parents end up being raised by someone else?”

“There are circumstances, but it’s difficult to explain here. To put it simply, you can think of it as having lost him when he was a baby.”

No matter what questions the journalists asked, Chairman Kennedy accurately understood and answered smoothly.

“Representative Yoon Taeha seems to look biracial. Is her mother Korean?”

“Yes. Due to certain circumstances, we were separated for a long time, but I have never forgotten that person. Even now, she is the person I love unwaveringly.”
