Musical actress Kim So-hyun, from 'The World of My View', became teary-eyed while thinking of her son Son Joo-an.
On Jan. 1, the MBC variety show 'The World of My View' (hereafter 'My View') featured musical actor couple Son Jun-ho and Kim So-hyun. This couple performed together as a husband and wife cast for the first time in three years in the role of a couple. The musical, 'Empress Myeongseong', is a historical piece that has been around for an impressive 30 years.
Jeon Hyun-moo noted, "They are the lovebirds of the musical world. They come from families connected to Seoul National University and Yonsei University." He welcomed the couple using a famous meme, referencing an old episode of 'Radio Star' where Yoo Se-yoon remarked on Kim So-hyun's family background. The phrase, "Sir, are you going to eat in Sinchon?" became popular and is still well-known.
Son Jun-ho said, "I was surprised when it became popular, but now I'm okay with it," and laughed heartily.
The couple has been spending time like family with their manager, who has been with them for three years. The manager said, "Initially, I was Son Jun-ho's manager. But since Son Jun-ho and Kim So-hyun are a couple, it naturally made sense for me to manage both. We even went on a volunteer trip to Mongolia as a family. I originally had no plans to get married, but seeing this couple changed my mind about marriage," adding, "Joo-an is so cute. I want to do everything for him. He feels like a younger sibling."
Son Jun-ho displayed his frugal side that day. He insisted that all lights should be turned off in places around the house that weren't being used, showers should be done within a reasonable time, and the house temperature should not be raised carelessly.
Kim So-hyun explained, "In the early days of our marriage, I was so upset about the constant frugality that I mentioned it to my mother-in-law. She replied, 'That's genetic.'" She further said, "I bought a car for my father-in-law, who lives in Bundang. However, he always insists on taking the bus. He seems to be very frugal about using the car."
When Son Jun-ho remarked, "My mother takes the bus from the stop right in front of the house, and my father takes the subway because it’s free," Jeon Hyun-moo commented, "It seems neither of them is considering driving."
Son Jun-ho and Kim So-hyun's son Son Joo-an made a rare appearance. Joo-an, who had shown his adorable and smart side in a parenting variety show, has grown and is now winning awards in various science competitions.
Singer Hwang Min-ho, who is of the same age as Joo-an, confidently revealed his schedule. Kim So-hyun looked at Hwang Min-ho affectionately, as if seeing her son. Hwang Min-ho's father, Hwang Ui-chang, said, "Aren't you all a bit young? We don't know how long you'll support us. As a father, I want to be with you for a long time." In response, Kim So-hyun reflected, "Joo-an mentioned something similar. He said if his mom had given birth to him 10 years earlier, they would have been able to live together for 10 more years," showing a sympathetic expression regarding having a late-born child.
