Baek Gu-young showed off his 'Bujeon Electronics' dance skills with his 5-year-old son Jin, who closely resembles his father's dance DNA, on MBC's 'Dads Who Came Across the Waters', a global parenting community. German broadcaster Daniel Lindemann showed his side as a no-nonsense uncle who awakened the musical instincts of Leo, the son of Italian father Alberto. In Gyo-jin told an anecdote from when he was unknown.
In the 29th episode of MBC's 'Fathers Who Crossed the Water', which aired on the 23rd, Kang Soo-jeong, a broadcaster of 'Mom who crossed the water to Hong Kong', and Baek Gu-young, a dancer who married a wife who came across the water from Japan, appeared together.
Kang Soo-jeong, who moved to Hong Kong after getting married and is currently living in Repulse Bay, one of Hong Kong's wealthiest neighborhoods, introduced her daily life in Hong Kong, saying, "I heard that Deok-hwa Yoo and Yun-fat Chow lived in the neighborhood, but they had already moved." He joked, "There are rumors that he is a Hong Kong tycoon, but I never say no. Because I don't want to seem like I don't exist."
Baek Gu-young, who first appeared at the parenting community together, is the head of the K-pop choreography crew 1M and a national-level dancer known as the father of EXO. Baek Gu-young said, "When (God's revelation) comes, the choreography is created in just a few minutes, but when it doesn't come, it doesn't come out even if it takes several days," and revealed that EXO's hit song 'LOVE SHOT' was created 3-4 days before the music video was filmed.
Baek Gu-young said, "My wife is Japanese. I have been married internationally for 6 years, and I am the father of a 5-year-old son and a 2-year-old daughter." He separated from his children, saying, “As a dancer, there are no set arrival and departure times, so the children catch me when I go to work.” He confessed that going to work was difficult. Jang Yoon-jeong sympathized, saying, “There is no farewell sadder than that.”
Baek Gu-young was a charismatic father on the outside, but he was kind to his children and played with his body at the child's level. So, both my son Jin and my daughter Ran were their father's 'gum-bags'. When Jin said that his dad would play with him all day, he raised his hands and expressed his joy, making viewers laugh. The father and son got excited by dancing to 2PM's 'My House' and then had fun playing sword fights and zombie games. The scene where 5-year-old Jin dances 'My House' while showing off his unusual dancing skills took up the best minute.
Baek Gu-young went on a tour of his father's company, One Million Studio, with his son Jin. Baek and his wife danced together to EXO's 'LOVE SHOT' and Kai's 'Mmmh'. Son Jin inherited his father's dance DNA and was able to imitate difficult movements well. Jin said, “I dance better than Uncle Kai,” making him smile.
Italian dad Alberto went to meet a 'very famous pianist' in the hope that his children would also start enjoying music, his favorite thing in the world, early on. Leo's piano teacher, whom his father invited, was his German uncle Daniel Lindemann, who had released nine piano albums.
Leo refused piano lessons despite Daniel's sweet playing. Daniel, who is famous for being 'no fun', showed off his talents such as juggling and magic shows to open Leo's heart. Jang Yoon-jeong cried out, "I'm sad because he did well," looking at Daniel's personal story that no one found interesting, causing laughter.
Fortunately, Daniel, who had 'maximum readiness', won Leo's heart with a toy trumpet and awakened the child's musical instinct. Daniel gave a high-quality performance by playing 'Shark Family' to Leo's trumpet performance.
The story of Evanee, a British mother who is a true soccer fan, was also depicted. The two sons, who dream of becoming soccer players, ignited their passion for soccer from the morning on the grass stadium set up in the living room. Eva watched the video of her two sons training with a director-like force, and together with her husband made a training plan for the children.
Eva was a mother who was like a friend who roamed the field with her two sons. He was divided into two teams, Jun, the hard-working eldest, and Noah, the second genius, and played a 5-on-5 mini-soccer match. The result was a 5-4 victory for his younger brother Noah's team, and Noah won MVP.
Eva revealed that she sent her two sons to an alternative school, saying, "I have never been to an academy since leaving school in the UK. I thought it would be nice if all education could be handled at school. Alternative schools are only arts and physical education academies." Eva encouraged the children to have fun, saying that what is important is learning, not grades.
'National Mentor' Kim Mi-kyung said, "My second son dropped out of high school. At that time, I put up a big placard saying 'Congratulations on dropping out'" and said, "I tell you to live the life you want and I will always help you," impressing the fathers of the childcare neighborhood association.
In Gyo-jin recalled the memory of declaring that she was giving up being an actor in front of her father when she was unknown. In Gyo-jin said, "I debuted early and thought, 'I have to succeed,' and was unknown for 8 to 9 years. One day, I went to my father and said, 'I'm sorry. I can't act. I'll quit.' My father said, 'It's good that you're my son. No matter what you do. “It's irrelevant. He's my son, right? He said, 'If you don't succeed, try acting a little more and just act like. 'my son.' I kept crying while driving on the highway on the way back," he said, recalling the memory of gaining strength thanks to his father's support and cheering, creating a touching feeling. He then said, "When I arrived in Seoul, I decided to try it one more time,” and added, “But it didn't work out again for three years,” making people laugh.
