Lee Eung-soon (mother), Yoon Sang-hee (older sister), and Yoon Sang-myung (older brother), who found their family after being missing for 44 years and adopted to the United States, are having a video call with Yoon Sang-ae (American name Dennis McCarthy) at the Missing Persons Family Support Center of the Seoul Dongdaemun-gu Police Agency on the morning of the 15th.



This reunion is the first case in which the 'Overseas Korean Adoptee Family Search' system collected and analyzed the adoptee's DNA at an overseas diplomatic mission to confirm the biological relationship with their family in Korea.
