Singer KCM spoke candidly about marriage and childrearing.
On the 27th, the YouTube channel "Hyungsoo is K.WILL" released a video titled "Sister-in-law, if you act like that you won't meet anyone: realistic advice from peers."
Amid KCM's marriage news after 13 years sparking attention, K.WILL said, "Many people ask me if I knew about it, but I had no idea at all. I have never met or seen his wife, and I was so surprised because she was so beautiful," he said. KCM laughed and said, "I met Sung Si Kyung hyung recently and he was so pretty that he was surprised and said, 'What have I been doing until now?'"
KCM spoke about his marriage to his wife, "A friend said his younger relative is working in Japan and wanted to meet a good company (entertainment) in Korea, so I met her without much thought and she was so beautiful. During several meetings while talking, my mother-in-law saw me on TV and said, 'I hope she marries someone like that.' That part is mysterious, but my wife's ideal type was Kim Jong Kook, and hearing that I thought maybe she could be connected to me," he said.
During the time when his wife and he were dating and he was a soldier, KCM went through a difficult period after his discharge. He said, "After my discharge, work stopped and it was hard. When a person is struggling they want to rely on someone, and sharing those struggles became a poisoned arrow that came back. At the point when activities stopped, I accumulated a lot of debt. Then in 2021, through 'Hangout With Yoo' I gained attention and MSG Wannabe did well, so in 2022 I was able to end the hard times, and after that I filed our marriage registration and we had our second child. With a family, things stabilized and I felt reborn."
Now the father of three, KCM said, "The difference between one and two is like heaven and earth, but between two and three it's like galaxies. The first is currently 15 years old, the second is 5, and the third is 100 days old. Parenting is really hard but it brings happy smiles. It's hard to explain in words so you have to experience it yourself. My eldest is in puberty and said she has a boyfriend, which breaks my heart. I didn't know how to respond, it was so complicated, so I contacted Kim Tae Woo, who has a teenage daughter, for advice. He said if you scold her the distance will grow, so I tried many methods but in the end I had to endure it alone," he said. K.WILL, overwhelmed with happiness and complex emotions, was told, "I don't know well, but seeing how serious it is, it seems sincere."
About his pubescent daughter, KCM said, "You can't be negative or commanding. I practiced in front of a mirror because I couldn't control my expression. Painful situations occur a lot; recently my wife followed our eldest daughter's boyfriend because she wanted to know who he was. She found out and showed me the video, and it was more innocent than expected. I felt reassured but my heart ached, and my solar plexus felt hollow. I couldn't breathe while sleeping. Usually she would speak warmly, but seeing her speak rebelliously made my blood boil. I'm conservative, so I commented on her makeup and dressing, but the result is you can't make changing kids fit you—you have to follow them," he said.
About parenting with his wife, KCM said, "After my father passed away and the household became difficult, I couldn't learn many things I wanted to. So out of a desire to compensate I want to fully support the children's education, but my wife received elite education including studying abroad and her thinking was completely different from mine. She said she hated the education she received as a child and doesn't want her children to suffer the same pain. If the children want to study abroad, my wife said she would follow them, and I don't want to become a gireogi father, so we'll have to see when that time comes," he said.
While continuing the conversation with KCM, K.WILL, talking about hobbies, reflected, "If I get one more hobby here, I really won't be able to marry." KCM said, "No. I think you'll get married soon. But your standards are too high. I wanted to set you up because K.WILL is so single. She was a doctor and asked me to send her profile quickly, so I sent it fast but it was ghosted. So I really felt his standards are high," he said. K.WILL explained, "I saw the profile and the person was wonderful but was a broadcaster. Because they were in the same broadcasting industry, I hesitated and it just passed by."
K.WILL also said, "I tried blind dates a few years ago but they didn't suit me. It's not that I was rejected, it just faded out." KCM said, "I'm not curious about whether K.WILL is dating, so I haven't seen it. Still, I think he'll meet a good friend and get married. You don't have to worry about whether you can do married life well. Worrying doesn't bring answers and things don't go as you think. I can imagine K.WILL getting married and contacting me at every stage asking for advice," he said, drawing laughter.
