"Dad and I Season 3" "Yakkungi," Kim Jung-tae's eldest son Jihoo confessed he wants to live alone in the United States.
On the 25th episode of TV CHOSUN's "Dad and I Season 3," a conflict arose between Kim Jung-tae and his eldest son Kim Jihoo over the issue of independence in the United States.
That day, Kim Jung-tae and his wife and their second son Sihoo prepared a surprise birthday party for eldest son Jihoo, who was celebrating his birthday. Later, while they were all eating together, Kim Jung-tae asked, "Don't you want to have a birthday party with friends like Sihoo?"
But the eldest said, "I hate parties. I don't want to talk to anyone. So I want to be alone," revealing an independent streak.
Then Kim Jung-tae's wife expressed concern, "If he goes to a dormitory he won't be able to be alone. He will clash with friends every day." It turned out that the eldest wants to attend a specialized high school for software meister that offers dormitory life.
Kim Jung-tae's wife explained, "Jihoo has been doing coding for a long time. Since he started in second grade of elementary school, he has developed toward coding. When I looked into high schools, there was a special-purpose school called a software meister high school. When I found out about that, Jihoo said he wanted to go to a dormitory school like American students."
The eldest said, "If I go there I can learn more coding. I want to make games and I'm learning coding for that," and added positively, "I expect I could do well living in a room with people I don't know."
He continued, "First, living alone I wonder, 'Can I do all my routines by myself?'" and added, "How great would it be if I could learn ways to resolve conflicts while fitting in there?"
Kim Jung-tae expressed concern, "If he goes to a dormitory he won't be able to be alone. He'll have to clash with the kids every day." His wife also worried, "He has no experience living with a friend, so while he's good at some things, I wish his social skills were a bit better, even half as good as the second child's."
Furthermore, the eldest surprised everyone by revealing his ambition for independence, saying, "I like being alone. I want to be independent in the United States." He said he is more comfortable in English than Korean and noted, "Most people who do coding are Americans. Being in the same country makes me feel a little better."
Kim Jung-tae advised, "Because you want to be alone, going to a dormitory or something like that is not acceptable. If you go out, everyone will touch you a lot. At home they take care of you, but if you go out that might not happen."
As his father's nagging continued and his expression hardened, the eldest said firmly, "I don't want to give up studying abroad in the United States and independence because of my flaws." In a subsequent interview he complained, "I know all the dangers in the United States, so I don't know why you keep talking about it."
Eventually, unable to stand the unending nagging, the eldest shot back, "Stop, can you stop?" Kim Jung-tae raised his voice in response, and his wife realistically advised, "Dormitory life or studying abroad is impossible just because he wants to be independent. You're likely to be alone. That's because our family members won't touch you. If you leave, people will touch you a lot. That's a big misconception."
In particular, Kim Jung-tae's wife emphasized, "You must never keep thinking about being alone." When Jun Hyun-moo said he could understand both positions, Kim Jung-tae said, "If it's a college student that's one thing, but saying he wanted to go to the United States since elementary school is astonishing."
