Kim Ji-seok's father, Kim On-yang, revealed his affection for his second son Kim Ji-seok's girlfriend, Lee Joo-myung.
The MBN program "Sokpuri Show Dongchimi" (hereafter referred to as "Dongchimi"), which aired on the 21st, had a segment discussing the difficulties of having a son.
Fashion entrepreneur Ham Seo-kyung, who achieved a total of 16 million views, expressed his unique views on marriage. Ham Seo-kyung said, "I also believed in remaining single, so I got married late. I married at the age of 42 after the IMF crisis hit, which made things tough economically. I tell my son to live briefly but intensely while he is young. Now that I've married at 42, it seems fast. In a century where people live to 100, living with one woman for 70 years is not easy." He noted that he does not pressure his son into marriage.
Ham Seo-kyung, who was very particular about his son's education from a young age, mentioned, "I was very poor at studying while in school. People did not think I was uneducated because I read a lot of newspapers. So, I made my son read books. As a result, he even created a library," sharing the results of raising his son as a reader.
He said, "Since he read a lot of books, he had social problems with the kids. His conversations were serious, which made him seem serious. He moved 13 times from kindergarten to high school. He was supposed to have social skills with kids his own age, but I wondered what sin I committed in a previous life to endure such pain."
However, as life is unpredictable, Ham Seo-kyung said, "My son handles the planning, filming, and editing for social media. Though he never did it before, the views reach 10,000 daily, thanks to his extensive reading. I feel grateful to my son for this."
The wife of veteran actor Kim Hee-ra, Kim Soo-yeon, expressed her longing for her stepson. She made efforts to raise the child without him knowing that she was a stepmother, but soon the son learned the truth when he reached the 2nd year of high school. Kim Soo-yeon said, "I found out through a friend's mother. When he was young, I bought clothes for my biological child at the market, while that child wore clothes from department stores. After learning about the family situation, he began drinking in restaurants and such."
Kim Soo-yeon shared, "I have experienced a lot of this. My husband has been ill for 25 years now, yet my son rarely visits. It's been 5 years since I've seen his face. He comes at dawn if he needs money, but these days he hardly comes by to see how I'm doing." She also mentioned, "He suddenly said he was getting married after coming back from military service. He informed me without any introduction. I felt embarrassed and disappointed."
He noted, "My son is now 54 years old. I think I expected too much from him. Since I have desires, I suppose there will be disappointments. I often wonder if what I have been doing for 50 years was enough for him."
Kim On-yang, Kim Ji-seok's father, expressed concern regarding his son's delayed marriage. He was reportedly so curious that he frequently asked about any girlfriends. Kim On-yang said, "I had given up hope after that. However, I saw an article stating he had a girlfriend. I wondered when he would bring her home, and he finally introduced her," revealing his affection for Kim Ji-seok's girlfriend Lee Joo-myung.
Kim On-yang said, "There is a generational gap between us, which makes communication difficult. I hope he marries quickly, but since his girlfriend Lee Joo-myung is starting her acting career, he is holding back, fearing he might impede her future. I feel relieved, but I worry about when I will meet my grandchildren," enthusiastically supporting the couple's marriage.
