I met a Fellow (red) Joo

So my friend invited his older conversation exchange guy to drink with us a few nights ago.

We chat and we find out that we're both Joo's. Then we find out we're both red Joo's (the meaning of our chinese character is 'red' meaning we're from the same clan).

So we are distantly related. Joo is a very rare last name here (in 2000 we made up a 0.4% of the general population) and to meet a fellow red Joo, what are the chances?

Family Picture:

Then he says, "my head is too big, take another one". FYI Koreans are obsessed with having small heads or small faces. If someone tells you you have a small face, thats a big complement. I guess because genetically, a lot of Koreans do have big heads and sometimes we look like lollipop people.
