Singer Kim Seung-jin recalled the difficult past from his father.
On the 27th, Kim Seung-jin, who was popular in the 1980s, appeared on Channel A's entertainment show 'Oh Eun-young's Gold Counseling Center'.
On this day, Seungjin Kim confessed his family history that he had not been able to bring up before. He said, "When I was young, my relationship with my parents was not that good," and "I felt anxious when I heard voices being raised. If I listened, I could tell, 'It's about me.'"
He also said, “My father was very strict. I got beat up a lot,” and “When I was in middle school and high school, I had to wake up at 4 a.m. to study.”
Kim Seung-jin's current age is 56 years old. Nevertheless, I only experienced love once. Kim Seung-jin said, "I dated my girlfriend for about two years, whom I first met when I was young. She was 21 or something. Even though we were both busy, how did we find time to meet each other?"
Kim Seung-jin said, "That relationship was my first and last time," and added, "When I was a singer, my father's opposition was especially strong. In the 1980s, if a male singer said he was in a relationship, it was thought that his popularity was over."
He continued, “At the time, my father told me never to date the opposite sex.” After hearing this, Dr. Oh Eun-young advised, “Dating is based on psychological independence from parents,” and “Just because you get older doesn’t mean you become completely independent (from your parents).”
Dr. Oh Eun-young said, "There is a term to describe this kind of person. It is called a fasting man. It refers to men who cut off romantic feelings like a knife by fasting and then become indifferent to dating and marriage."
