Actress Jung Si-a recently shared an update on her son, a budding basketball player, and her daughter, a prodigious artist.
On the 13th, the YouTube channel 'Jung Si-a's A Si Jung' featured a video titled "Jung Si-a's Date with Her High School Son in Apgujeong ♥ Sorry for Not Knowing, Jun-woo's True Feelings."
In the video, Jung Si-a mentioned, "I'm here in Apgujeong Rodeo with Jun-woo," as she enjoyed a delightful outing with her son, who is now a high school sophomore.
Jung Si-a expressed that it had been a while since she went on a date with her son, saying, "He's my gaming buddy. We always play PlayStation and Nintendo at home. In the game world, we're not just mother and son but individuals, and he really enjoys that."
Jun-woo shared his wish, "I want to go on a long trip with mom, maybe to Europe," adding a heartwarming touch. Jung Si-a commented, "After finishing intense winter training, we finally have this time together. He started playing sports in October of his first year in middle school, and since then, we haven't been on a family trip, and he hasn't taken a day off from training," highlighting her son's dedication to basketball.
Jung Si-a also offered her son warm encouragement, saying, "Mom and Dad don't think you must attend a prestigious university. We hope you do your best so you have no regrets."
Jun-woo opened up about his struggles, saying, "I feel pressure because of mom and dad. Aren't they celebrities? I get attention as a celebrity's son, but not for basketball."
Meanwhile, Jung Si-a married Baek Do-bin, son of actor Baek Yoon-sik, in March 2009. They welcomed their first son in July of that year and a daughter in 2012. Jun-woo is focused on becoming a professional basketball player, while their 13-year-old daughter Seo-woo has grown significantly, almost matching her mother's height of 168 cm.
Notably, Seo-woo is currently attending Yewon School and debuted as a picture book author at the age of 11, earning recognition as an 'art prodigy.'
