On the latest episode of SBS's variety show 'My Ugly Duckling', aired on the 1st, Kim Sung-kyun made it clear that he has no plans for a fourth child.
The episode featured a trip to Kazakhstan with Baek Jong-nam, Lee Sung-min, Kim Jong-soo, and Kim Sung-kyun, who have maintained a friendship for over a decade.
Upon arriving in Kazakhstan, Kim Sung-kyun asked Lee Sung-min if he would call his wife to let her know they arrived safely. Lee Sung-min replied that it wasn't necessary, while Kim Sung-kyun opted to call his wife, showcasing his affectionate side.
As Kim Sung-kyun's wife's voice came through the phone, Lee Sung-min humorously complained about the chaotic trip due to Jong-nam, saying, "We're leaving the airport two hours after arriving." Kim Sung-kyun shared his own feelings of being overwhelmed but showed his caring side as he spoke with his family.
During a conversation about Lee Sung-min's experience living in Gangwon-do for a month, Kim Jong-soo asked Kim Sung-kyun if he ever needed time alone. Kim Sung-kyun humorously replied that while he enjoys being with his family, they often suggest he take time for himself, possibly due to his frequent nagging.
As a father of three, Kim Sung-kyun shared that his children are in high school, middle school, and elementary school, respectively. He noted that their teenage years passed smoothly, possibly because he didn't indulge their adolescent moods. Lee Sung-min, who has a 25-year-old daughter, offered a reality check, saying, "A daughter's teenage years can be intense."
Kim Sung-kyun revealed his 'daughter fool' side, sharing that his youngest daughter writes him letters for each day of his trips. Before leaving for Kazakhstan, she left a letter in his luggage. Lee Sung-min asked if he considered having a fourth child.
Kim Sung-kyun firmly stated that having a fourth child would be too much, prompting Baek Jong-nam to jokingly reveal that Kim had already taken measures to prevent it. Kim Sung-kyun humorously protested, saying he should be the one to disclose such information.
Baek Jong-nam teased Kim Sung-kyun about reversing the procedure, to which Kim replied that modern methods are irreversible, emphasizing that a fourth child is not in the cards.
Lee Sung-min, aware of the couple's strong relationship, joked that without the procedure, they might have ended up with a fifth child.
Kim Sung-kyun married Kim Hye-jung, a former theater actress, in 2010, and they have two sons and a daughter.
