In 'My Little Old Boy,' actor Yoon Hyun-min revealed for the first time that he has two mothers, evoking great empathy from viewers with the heartwarming family story behind it.
On the 27th, in the SBS variety show 'My Little Old Boy' (hereafter referred to as My Little Old Boy), actor Yoon Hyun-min shared his family history for the first time on air.
Earlier in the broadcast preview, Yoon Hyun-min was seen pinning a carnation on two mothers, leading to curiosity about, "Whose mother is she?" It turned out that Yoon Hyun-min lived with his mother after his parents' divorce when he was 3 years old, and his father remarried later, resulting in a new mother.
Reflecting on the time when she started raising two sons alone at the age of 33, Yoon Hyun-min's mother said, "It was reckless, but it was the right choice," and Yoon Hyun-min expressed heartfelt respect, saying, "If I were my mom, I couldn't have done it." He added, "I can't tell (my stepmother) to do better because I haven't experienced it," showing a commitment to each person's place within their complex family relationships.
In the meantime, Yoon Hyun-min said, "I think I won't be able to see you in person on Parents' Day due to filming, so I prepared in advance," gifting a carnation and a credit card to his biological mother, creating a cheerful atmosphere with the addition of, "Just for two weeks."
Yoon Hyun-min naturally brought up his father, who passed away three years ago from illness. In the process of preparing to visit the columbarium, when the topic of a ritual came up, his mother asked, "Do we hold the ritual there?", and "I need to give a cash gift to that mother too," reacting calmly to Yoon Hyun-min calling his stepmother "mother." He expressed affection for his stepmother, saying, "I will meet my mother and have a meal."
It turns out that Yoon Hyun-min has cared for not only his biological mother but also his stepmother from his father's remarriage, and the relationship was also strong. In that day's broadcast, he gifted a massage device and a carnation to his stepmother, creating a warm atmosphere. His biological mother even gifted a bellflower syrup to his stepmother and expressed gratitude for allowing her to be present during her husband's last moments. "I was grateful to be able to see the funeral together," she said, urging Yoon Hyun-min to "always be courteous." She commented, "It's nice when things are natural. It was no problem spending the ritual together," showcasing an open family dynamic.
Seeing this, Seo Jang-hoon remarked, "It's really encouraging to see a case like this where they didn't live together and raise each other but are getting along so well."
Through this broadcast, Yoon Hyun-min showcased his sincerity as 'a person Yoon Hyun-min' who maintains etiquette and affection within a complex yet warm family history, rather than simply portraying himself as an 'actor,' resonating deeply with viewers.
