Jang Hyuk, Kim Jung-min, Kwon Sang-woo, the inside story of becoming wild goose dads

It is true that they are separated, but it is not because of discord. There is an increasing number of celebrities who naturally become 'wild goose dads' as they separate for the sake of their children's education rather than marital problems.

Singer Kim Jung-min appeared on Channel A's entertainment program 'Men's Life These Days - Groom's Class' (hereinafter referred to as 'Groom's Class'), which aired on the 22nd, and revealed that he has been living as a wild goose dad for two months. The eldest and second of the three sons are currently active as soccer players, so his wife Rumiko is living in Japan with the children due to education issues.

Kim Jeong-min expressed his loneliness by saying, "According to those with experience, it can be lonely and difficult for six months, but you get used to it after that. But it's still only two months." Rumiko also confessed her difficulties, saying, "It's comfortable because it's my home country," but "I'm realizing a lot now that I've lived away from my father's role."

At the same time, Kim Jung-min said, "I recently went to Japan for 5 days and 4 nights, and I received a lot of compliments. When we were together in Korea, I didn't get a lot of compliments, but since we were apart, I got compliments even though I only moved with him for 3 days, so it's not a bad thing." I picked it.

On this day, Jang Hyuk also revealed the daily life of a wild goose father for the first time through KBS2's entertainment show 'Men Who Do Housework Season 2' (hereinafter referred to as 'Men Who Do Housework 2'). Jang Hyuk said, "My family has been living abroad since last year. In fact, English is also English, but when you are exposed to a new culture, doesn't your way of thinking naturally broaden? I sent you abroad because I wanted you to have a broad mind while exposed to a new culture. “He explained.

He then confessed, "Originally, (at home) it should be crowded and loud, but since it was quiet, I couldn't get used to it at first. I became very helpless. The feeling of emptiness was repeated."

He also expressed his deep longing for his family, saying that he misses them every time they breathe. Jang Hyuk said, "The feeling of bed is different in the morning and evening. I feel so lethargic and empty in the evening," and expressed his affection for his family, saying, "Because there is a reason to hold on despite that."

Kwon Sang-woo, who married actor Son Tae-young in 2008 and has a son and a daughter, has been living as a wild goose dad for quite some time. Son Tae-young lives in the United States with her children, and Kwon Sang-woo lives in Korea but returns to his family in the United States after filming is finished. He cited the advantages of living as a wild goose, saying, "When filming is over, every day is Chuseok for me. It's like Chuseok when I return to my family."

However, Kwon Sang-woo's wild goose life in Korea is not lonely. He said that he consoles his loneliness by exercising and taking half-body baths three times a day in the absence of his family, and that the moment he forgets his loneliness is when he sweats. Son Tae-young often sends photos of her daughter Ri-ho to Kwon Sang-woo. Kwon Sang-woo said, "When I was in the middle of working, my wife showed me my daughter through a video call and sent me a photo. For me, that was a driving force and vitamin."

Like these, wild goose fathers who overcome loneliness and quietly work for their children. The saying that when the body becomes distant, the mind also becomes distant does not seem to apply to them.
