Actor Kim Seung-hyun met his daughter Subin and her boyfriend to exchange deokdam for the new year.
On the 1st, a video titled "Subin, you must be happy for a long, long time...?" was uploaded to the Gwangsan Kim family channel.
That day Kim Seung-hyun said, "To welcome the new year of 2026, there is a couple I must meet. Today I'll meet that couple. I will reveal what kind of couple they are in a little while," he began.
The people Kim Seung-hyun later met were his daughter Subin and her boyfriend. Kim Seung-hyun said, "I got to meet Subin's boyfriend. It's the second meeting. We met before at a grilled clams restaurant, so this is the second time since then," and joked, "Today the couple's outfit concept is sort of like kongjaban as a dish," drawing a wry look from Subin.
He asked, "Have you been well?", and Subin's boyfriend said he had been busy, "always work, home, work, home." He added, "First, compared to last time it seems my rank has been raised a lot," attracting attention.
Kim Seung-hyun said, "Right. Even so, at work you were recognized by the director and got promoted as your rank went up. Applause. Congratulations," and asked curiously, "Then compared to the salary you used to get, has it gone up a lot?"
In response, Subin's boyfriend revealed, "My annual salary is still a little over 100 million won," surprising those present. Kim Seung-hyun covered his mouth and said, "Really? You're better off than me? Hey. Sooyoung, hold on tight," offering sincere advice to Subin and prompting laughter.
He said, "From what I've heard, and as you said earlier, since it's just work and home it seems you haven't looked elsewhere and have worked very hard, so you're receiving that level of treatment. As much as you've worked hard," adding, "With the promotion the responsibility will increase and you'll probably feel burdened, and you'll have assistant staff under you too. How is that? Are you stressed or anything?"
Subin said, "A lot. I'm very stressed," and the boyfriend admitted, "A lot. As someone who manages employees, I keep learning and adjusting, so I feel like I'm constantly learning," he confessed. Seeing this, Subin said, "Someone might think these comments are from an applicant coming for an interview," and Kim Seung-hyun explained, "Subscribers, I'm not conducting a pressure interview."
He then asked, "What stresses you out the most and annoys you?" and Subin's boyfriend said, "When I communicate with an employee and that employee dismisses what I say, I get very angry about that," he revealed. Subin explained, "That subordinate is older than Sooyoung and older than the director. But they're a subordinate. So that's what makes it complicated," and Kim Seung-hyun sympathized, "Then that's really frustrating. But you can't expect to be treated a certain way just because of age. If you felt wronged you should have come earlier."
He said, "Since both of you work in beauty, when you're stressed or have those kinds of things you can understand and empathize and talk it out with each other, and you can complain to someone and let it out, so that is really good. Talking and having chicken and beer while eating something tasty should let it go quickly," and Subin complained, "But he won't drink with me." Then the boyfriend fired back, "He drinks too much. And he doesn't save money," a blunt remark that embarrassed Subin.
Afterward, Kim Seung-hyun asked, "Now that the new year has come, what are Sooyoung's plans?" The boyfriend replied, "I originally thought about moving out independently, but watching things I realized my salary is huge for my age, so I'm going to hold on here for a while and accumulate more," he answered. Meanwhile, Subin gave no response, and Kim Seung-hyun agreed, "Having no plan is a plan in itself."
Subin said, "If I make plans I get stressed about them. I'll just go with the flow.." and Kim Seung-hyun encouraged, "From a father's point of view, don't fight with Sooyoung and live well. Rely on each other and live like that." At that moment Subin suddenly asked, "Are you living well?" and Kim Seung-hyun replied, "Well... now... as you know, in the newlywed period when things don't match you comfort each other, fight a bit and then adjust," he said, drawing laughter.
Meanwhile, Kim Seung-hyun personally drew a portrait of Subin's boyfriend and gave it as a gift. He said, "This is Subin's boyfriend, Sooyoung," showing a heartwarming visual, and Subin also expressed satisfaction, saying, "It looks like him." Finally, Kim Seung-hyun gifted them clothes and expressed affection, saying, "Our son-in-law... wear this and live happily with Subin for a long, long time?"
Meanwhile, Kim Seung-hyun became an unmarried father after separating from his ex-girlfriend after having his daughter Subin at 19. Later, he married writer Jang Jung-yoon in 2020 and held his second daughter Riyun in his arms in 2024.<
