News that so-called "striking it rich with children" has been passed along among comedians lately, including Kim Dae-hee, bringing warm feelings.
Kim Dae-hee recently drew attention by revealing his new home overlooking Han River Police on his YouTube channel. Friends gushed that the Han River Police view stretching beyond the picture window was "the bourgeois life," but what actually drew greater interest was the recent news about his two daughters.
His eldest daughter, Sayoon, is attending Yonsei University majoring in clothing and textile studies, and news that his younger daughter was accepted to a college of oriental medicine filled the scene with congratulatory atmosphere. Kim Dae-hee joked, "I'm buried in debt," but he could not hide the proud look of a father more than anyone else.
Earlier, eldest daughter Sayoon described her father on a broadcast as a "love enthusiast." In response to his daughter's remark that "he always asks me to carry his bag," Kim Dae-hee replied with his characteristic wit, drawing laughter. The younger daughter also revealed their affectionate father-daughter relationship, saying, "When dad comes home he always hugs me."
In the same atmosphere, another comedian, Jung Jong-cheol, also recently shared joyful news. Jung Jong-cheol announced via social media that his son, Jung Si-hu, was accepted to the University of Toronto St. George campus majoring in social sciences, and was also accepted to the kinesiology program at the University of British Columbia (UBC). He added to the emotion by saying his son received scholarship offers from McMaster University and Western University, reporting an "all-kill" on the universities he applied to.
Jung Jong-cheol choked up, saying, "Whatever choice he makes, as a parent I will always support and cheer him on."
Earlier, broadcaster Shin Dong-yeob also drew attention when it was revealed that his daughter, Shin Ji-hyo, was simultaneously accepted to the Korea National University of Arts and Seoul National University College of Education's physical education program.
They were responsible for laughter on stage, but off stage they move people again as parents who quietly supported their children's choices.
