The revelation of a '62 billion building owner' not giving allowance to parents shocked the members.
On the October 3rd episode of MBC's variety show 'I Live Alone', 'Flaming Charisma' Minho was seen supporting his father, a K-League soccer coach, while 'Baby Beast' Chef Kim Si-hyun learned 'herb cooking' from his culinary mentor in Tongyeong.
SHINee's Minho visited the soccer field to cheer on his father, Choi Yoon-kyum, the coach of the K-League team 'Yongin FC'. Everyone was surprised by the 'flaming charisma' his father exuded during training. Park Ji-hyun admired, saying, “He feels like a volcano.” Minho prepared a coffee truck and fruit gifts for the players and his father, who smiled warmly at his son's surprise.
A shooting contest between the 'flaming father-son duo' ensued. Minho, dressed in sportswear, sparked his father's competitive spirit. The 'Idol Star Athletics Championships legend' Minho and 'veteran of the field' Coach Choi displayed their identical competitive nature, bringing laughter. When his father succeeded first with his experience, Minho suggested a rematch, eventually winning and celebrating his victory. The Rainbow members humorously congratulated him, saying, “Glad you beat your dad.”
The 'flaming duo' shared as much love as they did competitiveness. Minho gifted his father a sun stick, and his father proudly boasted about his dependable son Minho at a favorite local spot, bringing smiles to viewers. During dinner, their conversation revealed their deep affection for each other. Coach Choi expressed, “You said you wanted to have a positive influence through sports. I don't often say it, but I'm grateful and proud. You've become the pride of our family, and hearing 'You raised him well' makes me happiest.”
Minho confessed, “When asked who I want to be like, I always say my father. You've praised me when I did well and scolded me when I lacked, helping me grow well. I still want to be your biggest fan and a reliable son.” Jeon Hyun-moo expressed envy, saying, “I want a son like Minho.”
The 'best moment' of the day was when Minho visited his father's accommodation for the first time. Shocked by the empty space, Minho shared, “I felt sorry. Thinking about him being alone in that empty space made me feel guilty.” His careful observation of his father's space conveyed his deep love for him.
However, the mood shifted when the Rainbow members began a realistic 'parent allowance' discussion. Park Ji-hyun revealed, “My mom just wants cash. She doesn't need anything else, just money.”
Kian84 shared his strategy, saying, “You have to keep saying 'I'm struggling' and 'Where do I have money?'” Jeon Hyun-moo was shocked, exclaiming, “Don't call me unfilial. I was really surprised. This is how others see me.” Minho also remarked, “This unfilial competition isn't easy,” expressing his disbelief.
