Actor Kim Dong-wook candidly shared the realistic hardships and joys of parenting, drawing empathy.
Recently, a video titled 'Chae Jeong-an Kim Dong-wook [Zzanbro EP.146] a preview of Dong-yeob god's 60th birthday party' was released on the YouTube channel 'Zzanbro'.
On the day, Chae Jeong-an happily said to Kim Dong-wook, whom she had not seen in a long time, "Seeing Dong-wook, he still seems like a baby," and Kim Dong-wook said, "I laugh a lot when I see the baby," revealing his doting father side. Then Shin Dong-yeob playfully asked, "Aren't there people who go out and enjoy themselves without seeing the kid?", and Kim Dong-wook shared the real struggles of parenting, making people laugh.
He called it "hwakangs (restroom+vacation)" and said, "When I'm tired I really often say 'I'm going to the restroom'," adding, "I sit in the restroom and watch YouTube on my phone," a confession that drew strong empathy from parents.
Hearing this, Chae Jeong-an worried, "If you concentrate or study in the restroom for too long, I heard you can get a hernia," and Kim Dong-wook immediately retorted, "Rowen, don't worry. Dad is healthy," turning the scene into a sea of laughter.
He added, "More than my intestines falling out, my mind becoming healthier is bigger," and "Honestly, I don't have the energy to worry about my intestines," further resonating as the reality of being a dad.
Hearing this, Chae Jeong-an said, "I feel all the happiness and hardships of parenting," and Kim Dong-wook's candid parenting talk formed a strong bond of empathy among many parent viewers.
