Singer Kim Jung-min shared a warm message for his sons.
On the 22nd, Kim Jung-min posted a photo with his three sons on his social media, writing, "Live joyfully and do what you want, wherever you are. Mom and Dad are always cheering for our sons as they challenge themselves toward happiness and dreams."
The released photo captured the quickly grown appearance of the sons, drawing attention. Kim Jung-min's supportive fatherly message touched fans as well.
The post has received supportive comments from fans, such as "It makes my heart swell," "Dad's warm heart comes through," and "I hope all three sons unfold their wonderful dreams."
This message gained more attention particularly as Kim Jung-min's second son, Dani Daichi (Korean name Kim Do-yun), was once again selected for the Japanese national soccer team. On the 21st, the Japan Football Association (JFA) announced the roster for the international friendly tournament to be held in Limoges, France, in September, with Dani Daichi making the list. Japan will face France, Portugal, and Saudi Arabia in this tournament. This is Dani's second selection for the Japanese national team. He played for Japan in the qualifiers for the AFC U-17 Asian Cup held in Saudi Arabia last year, leaving a strong impression by scoring 4 goals against Nepal and 2 goals against Qatar. Born in 2008, Dani is the second son of Kim Jung-min and his Japanese wife Rumiko, holding dual nationality in Korea and Japan. He moved to the Japanese J-League club Sagan Tosu in 2023 after playing in the youth teams of Seoul Sinjeong Elementary School and Osan Middle School of FC Seoul. He is currently active within the Japanese U-17 national team.
In an interview with Japanese media "Soccer Digest" last year, Dani said, "I decided to go to Japan because I wanted to play on a stronger team. I started playing at the Sagan Tosu academy in the 3rd year of middle school." His father, Kim Jung-min, also noted, "My son did not change his nationality to Japanese. Both countries are his homeland," emphasizing that "soccer is just soccer, and moving to Europe is his dream." Kim Jung-min married Rumiko in 2006 and has three sons. The couple will appear on tvN STORY's "Each House Couple," which premieres on the 28th, showcasing their life between Korea and Japan.
