'The Return of SUPERMAN' KCM explained the reason he could not even register his marriage with his wife Ye-won, with whom he lived for 13 years.
On the 28th broadcast of KBS2TV entertainment 'The Return of SUPERMAN' (hereinafter 'The Return of SUPERMAN'), father KCM, who is attentive to his wife and brings happiness to his daughter, appeared. Wearing an apron and setting the breakfast table, he told his wife to "go in and rest" and freely took charge of caring for his second daughter.
KCM's wife Ye-won, who was revealed for the first time on this broadcast, captivated people with beauty reminiscent of Olivia Hussey and NewJeans' Min-ji. Kim Jongmin said, "Wow, KCM had a reason to hide her! How did he meet her?" showing his selfish interest, and Lalala endlessly admired her, saying, "She is so beautiful."
KCM said, "There is a nine-year age difference. She was a friend's relative's younger sibling; after meeting her once, she was so beautiful. What should I really say? I thought she was someone I could not dare to like. She was also very young," recalling the first meeting in a trembling voice as if he still remembered the feeling that left him speechless.
However, KCM could not even notify anyone about the birth, let alone get married. KCM said, "At that time I had tens of billions of won in debt to the point where I couldn't even talk about it," adding, "There were collection calls, reminder calls. Those calls were really frightening. They came suffocatingly even in a single day, so I collapsed from a single phone call. When they talked about family, I couldn't imagine putting pressure on my wife. So I ran alone without telling her about the marriage."
The producers asked, "Did you know it would turn out like this over 13 years?" KCM replied, "Not at all. I regret it. But what's past is past," giving an answer mixing apology to his family and a vow to do better going forward.
KCM said, "My eldest daughter asked her dad to come to school, and that made me truly sorry. Looking back, I wonder how hard it must have been," adding, "I couldn't give them many memories that could only be made at that time. I missed sports days, graduations, things a father should do. When I talk about the kids, tears come automatically." Especially because he had many memories with his own father, he felt deeply sorry for his absence as a father to his children.
Ye-won is currently expecting her third child. KCM said, "I was in the military for the first birth, and for the second I was on a flight to Jeju. For the third I definitely want to be there. So I cleared my schedule for Jan. 26," declaring he would be present this time.
KCM said, "I asked my wife to believe me. I thought I could somehow manage. For 13 years I didn't tell her and hid it. My wife never showed annoyance. She didn't pressure or burden me," and asked the wife, who hadn't even been able to have a wedding, "Since we couldn't have a wedding, how about having even a small pledge ceremony?" Hearing this, Ye-won teared up and smiled as if happy.
