A 34-year-old man shared an emotional first hug with his biological father in South Korea after traveling from America to find him. Ignaseio Cattlin, from Dallas, Texas, was 17 when he discovered his father was not his biological father. Ignaseio’s mom moved to the United States from Korea when she was pregnant, with both parents deciding that their child was to be raised in America. After Ignaseio’s biological father started a new life in Korea and married, he and Iggi’s mom lost contact. Over the decade after he found out about his past, Iggi searched for his biological father using the minimal information he had: his name – Sang-Pil Lee – hometown, university, potential birth year, and potential high school he attended. But the searches led nowhere. So he decided to travel to South Korea to search on foot. Ignaseio flew into Incheon on November 16, 2023, and immediately went to Daejeon to start his search. After many dead ends, Ignaseio eventually showed a local police officer a photo of his rather who immediately recognized the man in the image. On November 27, a nervous Ignaseio emotionally reunited with his biological father, with the pair heading toward each other for a tearful hug.
