Singer Yoon Min-soo's son, Yoon Hoo, is set to appear on 'My Child's Romance 2'.
The joint production by tvN STORY and T-Cast E Channel, 'My Child's Romance 2', is confirmed to premiere on February 25th. The first teaser video has been released, revealing the first participant of the new season.
Last year's 'My Child's Romance' gained attention with its fresh concept of adding a parental perspective to a dating show. It created a new formula for a generational empathy dating program by combining parents' biased reactions with the romance of youth, showcasing the grown-up children from past parenting shows now stepping into the world of dating.
Continuing this theme, 'My Child's Romance 2' focuses on the moments when parents see a new side of their children in love. The show promises to deliver more candid and bold romantic stories of young adults, alongside the heartfelt support and sometimes bewildered reactions of their parents.
The first 'child' to open the season is none other than the 'nation's nephew', Yoon Hoo. Known from the family show 'Dad! Where Are We Going?' a decade ago, Yoon Hoo returns as a young adult ready to explore romance on screen. The teaser video shows a matured Yoon Hoo walking confidently, with his voice overlaying, "I've had one dating experience in high school and one in college," sparking excitement and nostalgia.
He candidly shares, "If I like someone, I've even promised to fetch stars from the sky," while discussing his current fitness routine, which includes working out six times a week for over two hours each session. When asked about his charm point, he shyly responds, "Shoulders?" This transformation from a boy to a young man ready to talk about love piques curiosity about Yoon Hoo's romantic journey.
Yoon Min-soo, Yoon Hoo's father, is another highlight of the season. Known for his close friendship with his son, viewers are eager to see his reactions to Yoon Hoo's romantic endeavors.
Returning as the host, Kim Sung-joo brings his reliable presence, representing the perspective of all parents watching their children's love lives unfold. Joining him is Lee Jong-hyuk, who left a strong impression in season 1 with his candid reactions and practical advice. As a father who has witnessed his child's romantic journey, his insights are highly anticipated.
The production team stated, "'My Child's Romance' is a program where parents watch their children's changing faces through love," adding, "Season 2 will double the emotional intensity." They promised more candid parental reactions to their children's expressions and choices, with more participants to be revealed soon. Viewers can expect even bolder romances and 200% immersive reactions from parents compared to season 1.
tvN STORY & E Channel's 'My Child's Romance 2' premieres on Wednesday, February 25th at 8 PM.
