On TV CHOSUN's 'A Father and Me season 3,' doting father Kim Jung-tae clashes with his son after his eldest son, prodigy Kim Ji-hu, who is suspected of having Asperger's syndrome, announces he will go to the United States.
In the episode of TV CHOSUN's 'A Father and Me season 3' airing on Wednesday the 25th, Kim Jung-tae creates a tense atmosphere with his eldest son Kim Ji-hu, who is famous as 'Yakkungi.' For Ji-hu's 16th birthday, Kim Jung-tae set up a birthday table for his son. The Kim family, who even prepared a surprise birthday party for Ji-hu, spent a happy time together with the birthday table the father prepared.
However, Kim Jung-tae's expression darkened when Ji-hu made his birthday wish. Ji-hu's wish was "I want to live in the United States." Ji-hu, who is more comfortable in English than Korean, dreamed of "independence in the United States." With hobbies such as physics, coding and animation production, Ji-hu's interests are unusual compared with typical teenagers, and he had difficulty making friends. He thought there were many people like him in the United States, and explained why he wanted to live there, saying, "I think it feels a little better if people with the same interests are in the same country." Moreover, Ji-hu's dream of living in the United States was so big that he had seriously told his father, "Why wasn't I born American?"
Hearing Ji-hu's wish, Kim Jung-tae worried, saying, "Can you do without mom and dad?" Ji-hu replied, "I mean I want to live in the United States. It's not that I hate mom and dad and don't want to see them." But as his concern for Ji-hu grew, Kim Jung-tae interrupted Ji-hu's words and argued, saying, "You need to be careful. To lower things like apartment rent, you'll have to work a lot. You have to build up your body too."
Ji-hu, who wanted to speak but could not utter a word because of his father's continued nagging, eventually shouted, "Stop!" to make his father stop. Kim Jung-tae gave harsh words, saying, "If dad gives advice, you should listen to dad," but Ji-hu showed his anger, saying, "I don't want to talk. With anyone!" Ji-hu revealed his inner thoughts, saying, "Why do you keep saying things I already know...," and Jun Hyun-moo, watching the VCR, sighed, saying, "This is really a difficult problem."
The uncompromising conversation between Kim Jung-tae and his son, which grew increasingly heated after his 16-year-old son's declaration to go to the United States, will be revealed on TV CHOSUN's 'A Father and Me season 3,' airing at 10 p.m. that evening.
