The recent news about Jaemin, who contributed to making god a 'national group,' has drawn interest as it reveals a twist in his story. Although Jaemin used to call Son Ho-young 'mom,' he noted that they have become 'awkward acquaintances' now, causing him distress.
On the afternoon of the 6th, Son Ho-young of god mentioned Jaemin Han, whom they shared 'god's parenting diary' with, during his appearance on the MBC entertainment program 'Radio Star.' He revealed that they have been in contact for 26 years.
On this day, Son Ho-young referenced the entertainment program 'god's parenting diary,' which propelled god's popularity. He began, 'We debuted in 1999, and shortly thereafter, we had to take care of a baby on the show. The great thing at that time was that I had nothing to do. There was nothing to force and it couldn't be forced; simply holding the baby would naturally result in footage.'
He also remarked, 'You can't run the camera 24 hours a day. You have to change tapes, swap batteries, and let people rest.' He added, 'Even when I rested, I was constantly worried about the baby, so I kept holding (the baby). Naturally, I came to understand how to hold a baby and that feeling. The members were really envious of that. Everyone was jealous.' He pointed out that 'god's parenting diary' significantly increased their popularity, and Jaemin called Son Ho-young 'mom.'
Later, Son Ho-young revealed that Jaemin had become his benchmark. He explained, 'When I meet juniors or people around me, I hear their ages. When I ask how old they were when they debuted, they say they were born in 2000. Then I think, 'You are younger than Jaemin.' Jaemin was born in 1999, so he became the reference for determining age—whether one is older or younger.'
Son Ho-young expressed surprise, saying, 'When I debuted, I was holding a one-year-old, but nowadays kids younger than Jaemin are debuting.' He noted, 'Jaemin is already 27.'
In particular, Son Ho-young caught attention by revealing that he continues to have a bond with Jaemin. He stated, 'We still keep in touch. However, we had dinner together last year, and it was really awkward. When we met, it felt awkward, and I couldn't really engage.' He said, 'Jaemin doesn't remember being a baby, but as he grew up, he has seen so much material that he knows me and knows god.'
Son Ho-young shared, 'However, this friend doesn't contact me right away. When I send a text, I get a reply after a week. While communicating, I wondered, 'Does he dislike me?' and expressed his disappointment.
'god's parenting diary' aired from January 2000 to January 2002, and through this program, god gained significant popularity. Afterwards, they were referred to as a national group, and the participant Han Jaemin also received a lot of love.
As a nostalgic program, it has remained in the memories of fans and the public for a long time. Not only Son Ho-young, but previously, there were reports that Jaemin completed his military service in March 2022, and he surprised the members of god by stating that he likes 'so-maek' (a mix of soju and beer). Recently, Yoon Kye-sang, who appeared on the SBS entertainment program 'Whenever Possible,' noted that his co-star Kim Yo-han is 'the same age as Jaemin.'
