TV CHOSUN 'Dad and I season 3' shows Im Hyung-ju, making his first appearance in a reality show, revealing a reversed daily life in which, unlike the glamorous "popera maestro" on stage, he is treated like cold rice at home.
The episode airing on the 21st of TV CHOSUN 'Dad and I season 3' features "world-renowned popera tenor" Im Hyung-ju and Im Hyung-ju's mother, a "legendary charisma" who raised world-class artists. Im Hyung-ju's mother personally directs her son's performances and meticulously oversees costumes, lighting and music, showing her side as an agency CEO and a "tough woman" mother.
Im Hyung-ju said, "My relationship with my mother is special. I'm past 40 and my mother is approaching 70, and I thought there will be less time left than time already spent, so I want to untie the knot," explaining why he came to 'Dad and I'. He added about his mother, "She is someone I love very much and, at the same time, someone of love and hate." Jun Hyun-moo empathized with Im Hyung-ju's mother's outstanding charisma, saying, "She seems like my mother. My mother is strict too," and wondered what kind of relationship the Im Hyung-ju mother-and-son would have.
In the pre-released footage, Im Hyung-ju, the "popera legend", was completely the opposite of the glamorous world star on stage and became the very "scolded one" at home who receives nagging. During a meal, when Im Hyung-ju smacked his lips, his mother said, "Don't smack your lips. Our family all eat with their mouths closed," and made a remark. Im Hyung-ju retorted, "I'm trying not to smack my lips. I also eat with my mouth closed." But Im Hyung-ju's mother continued to criticize to the point of embarrassing him, saying, "Our family is all quiet. But you're smacking away by yourself." Also, Im Hyung-ju's mother repeatedly separated Im Hyung-ju and "our family" when speaking.
Eventually Im Hyung-ju opened up, saying, "I feel humiliated. It's always been like this, but there are times I feel hurt. I'm human, so regardless of age I feel hurt," expressing his upset feelings. He added, "There's nothing to be done between my mother and me. We can't turn it back now. I gave up on being treated by my mother as well as she treats my younger siblings in this life," foreshadowing a long-standing resentment between Im Hyung-ju and his mother. Im Hyung-ju's "about 400-pyeong mansion" is also about to be revealed.
Making his first reality appearance and revealing his daily life for the first time, how Im Hyung-ju came to be in a love-and-hate relationship with his mother and the new story of the Im Hyung-ju mother-and-son will be revealed on Wednesday, the 21st at 10 p.m. on TV CHOSUN 'Dad and I season 3'. <
