Yoo Jun-sang candidly shared an update on his eldest son, revealing his honest feelings as a parent on the SBS variety show 'Anytime' aired on the 24th.
The episode featured actors Yoo Jun-sang and Kim Gun-woo as 'Anytime Friends' visiting Changsin-dong, Dongdaemun-gu.
Yoo Jae-suk warmly welcomed Yoo Jun-sang, saying, "It's been almost 8 years since we last met on 'Happy Together'." Yoo Jun-sang humorously responded, "Why haven't you called me all this time?" bringing laughter to the set.
Yoo Jae-suk, meeting Kim Gun-woo for the first time, remarked, "Despite your role as Son Myeong-oh in 'The Glory', you have a kind impression." Kim Gun-woo explained, "I've gained about 4-5kg because people said I look better with some weight," revealing the reason for his image change.
Yoo Jun-sang was surprised to learn that Kim Gun-woo, his co-star in a musical, is 36 years old, exclaiming, "You're still in your 30s?" When Yoo Jae-suk sighed at the mention of them playing friends in the musical, Yoo Jun-sang humorously protested.
Yoo Jun-sang shared an update on his eldest son, saying, "My eldest son decided not to go to college, so I told him to join the military right away. Now, after being discharged, he wants to go to college and is preparing for admission."
Yoo Yeon-seok agreed on the importance of timing, saying, "There's no need to force college if there's no aspiration." Yoo Jun-sang expressed his affection, "Our kids are happy, but it's the parents who feel heartache because we don't push them to study. Still, they've grown up well."
Kim Gun-woo also shared about his family, joking, "I'm close with my sister, who's just a year older. She suffers because she looks like me," bringing laughter.
Meanwhile, Yoo Jae-suk was impressed by the taste of beef soup at a restaurant Yoo Jun-sang chose just by its sign. He gifted all the cast members with two servings of beef soup to-go. Additionally, Kim Gun-woo, a self-proclaimed fan since the 'Infinite Challenge' days, ended up paying for lunch, showcasing his skills with a playful twist.
