Kim Ji-seok's father, Kim On-yang, actively welcomed the marriage of his son Kim Ji-seok and his girlfriend Lee Joo-myeong.
The episode of MBN's "Sokpuri Show Dongchimi" (hereafter "Dongchimi"), which aired on the 21st, featured a time for sharing the struggles of having a son.
Actress Kim Young-ok stated that she was overwhelmed by the late filial piety of her son. Kim Young-ok said, "These days, my son takes care of us so much. He takes us elderly folks to galbi restaurants and coffee shops," drawing envy.
Kim Young-ok mentioned, "Last time, when he wanted to go out four days a week, he asked, 'Where do you want to go?' He said he wanted to go to Jeju Island and had already made all the reservations," and added, "He even booked a room in a top-notch hotel. It costs more than 1 million won a night. But he accepted it without saying anything. I lived like a king. I realized that one has to know how to receive such treats," expressing the responsibilities of a parent. There was someone who expressed envy over the top-notch hotel and various filial piety parades. It was Lee Hong-ryeol.
Lee Hong-ryeol said, "How old was your son when he did that?" expressing deep envy. He, who covered his son's education expense, earnestly wished for his son's marriage. Kim Young-ok cautiously replied, "It happens when he is about 50," and added, "These days, he is doing well to an extent beyond expectation. Sometimes it's a bit bothersome."
Kim On-yang continued, "The first and second sons got married. My second son, Kim Ji-seok, is an actor, and if he gets married early, he might lose fans. But since he's about 38 years old, doesn't that create an age gap with his children and nieces?" He expressed concern over Kim Ji-seok's delayed marriage by saying he always asks about his son's girlfriend.
When his father's insistence began, Kim Ji-seok reportedly said, "So can I just bring anyone? Can I bring a Black man?" The panelists were unable to hide their surprise at this.
Kim On-yang mentioned, "After that, I gave up on the thought of him getting married, but I saw an article saying he has a girlfriend. I've wondered when he would bring her home, but he greeted her," sharing news about Kim Ji-seok and Lee Joo-myeong, who started their public relationship last year, with a smile.
Kim On-yang shared, "On the day they met, he even had a personality test done. It turns out they are the same age. My son has been called a thief often," reflecting on the experience of meeting Lee Joo-myeong. He added, "There are generational gaps, so communication isn't easy. I hope they get married quickly, but since Kim Ji-seok's girlfriend, Lee Joo-myeong, is starting her career as an actress, he holds back, fearing it might obstruct her future," conveying his deep concern for his son's girlfriend.
Kim On-yang's only worry was, "I feel relieved, but I worry about when I will see my grandchild." The panelists asked, "But isn't there the first daughter-in-law?" Kim On-yang's first son and his wife live abroad, so they haven't developed a close relationship.
Kim On-yang stated, "Seeing my son's girlfriend reassures me. I just want to treat her well," revealing a father's affection towards Lee Joo-myeong as a prospective daughter-in-law, evoking envy.
