Kim Taeheon, a former member of the 2nd generation idol group, ZE:A, appeared on the July 11 broadcast of MBN's 'Special Exclusive World' to reveal that he is currently looking for his older sister, who went missing 8-years ago. 

Taeheon, who was the main rapper of ZE:A, has been living in a rented room in Seoul, paying 330,000 KRW a month while working at a Chinese restaurant. He said, "There was a time when I couldn't pay my phone bill or credit card bills, and I had to shower by heating up water on a portable stove. Now, I'm happy to have a job where I support myself." 

The former idol, who also explained that he was unable to continue his work as an entertainer after his military enlistment, stated, "When I was discharged, the industry had changed completely. There was nothing left for me. So I had no choice but to take a break." 

Kim Taeheon, who lost his father at 8-years old and his mother about 7-years ago to cancer, now considers his aunt his closest family. He then confessed, "When I was in the military, my older sister told me that something had happened, and so I took a vacation to meet her. But after I was discharged, I couldn't contact her again." 

Why did Taeheon's sister disappear? "It must be because of money," he speculated, "My aunt and I saved up money and helped my sister open a shop, but it went bankrupt. I'm worried that she feels guilty about it." 

8-years ago, when his sister first went missing, Taeheon and his aunt went to the police for help. However, the police were told that Taeheon's sister did not wish to see her family. 

The former idol stated, "Reuniting with my sister is more important than money. We can always work and make money again. I hope she will stop hiding and come see me. I'll be 40-years old soon. I miss my sister."
