Shin Dong-yup Defends Sayuri Against Rude Celebrity, Offers Parenting Advice

On the YouTube channel 'Jjanhanyoung Shin Dong-yup', Shin Dong-yup revealed an incident involving a rude female celebrity towards Sayuri.

On the 30th, Sayuri and Kim Kyung-wook appeared on the channel. Sayuri surprised everyone by recalling a time when she saw Shin Dong-yup angry, saying, "He's always smiling, but I saw him angry once."

Sayuri recounted an incident before a program recording where a female celebrity made several rude remarks towards her. Although Sayuri did not respond, Shin Dong-yup, who witnessed the situation, couldn't hold back and intervened.

Sayuri said, "He thought the woman's behavior towards me was inappropriate, so he scolded her. A week later, we met in the waiting room again, and he said, 'I couldn't stand her rude behavior, so I apologize on her behalf.' That's when I realized he's truly a great person."

Recalling the incident, Shin Dong-yup said, "It was during the 'Hello Counselor' recording. As a fellow Korean, I felt so embarrassed and sorry. I wanted to call out who it was because it was so disrespectful."

Sayuri praised Shin Dong-yup, saying, "He's the type who doesn't get angry about his own matters but can't stand seeing weaker people being bullied."

Additionally, Shin Dong-yup offered parenting advice to 'single mom' Sayuri. Sayuri, who is raising her 5-year-old son Zen alone, expressed, "He's so lovely right now, but it's so hard and so good at the same time. It's like an extreme one-sided love." She also shared her fears, saying, "I'm worried about what might happen if there's a problem or an accident."

Shin Dong-yup comforted her, saying, "It will continue to be hard and good, but that's okay. He'll grow up well on his own." Shin Dong-yup recently shared the news of his daughter Shin Ji-hyo's acceptance to Seoul National University.
