Kim Ji-seok's Father Opens Up About Son's Relationship with Actress Lee Joo-myung

Kim Ji-seok's father recently made headlines by discussing his son's relationship with actress Lee Joo-myung.

On the October 21st episode of MBN's 'Dongchimi', Kim Ji-seok's father, Kim On-yang, appeared on the show.

During the broadcast, Kim Ji-seok's father shared, "My eldest son got married at thirty and soon had a granddaughter and grandson, which is nice to see. However, my second son, Ji-seok, avoided marriage early on, fearing it would affect his fanbase." He continued, "I understood until he was 35, but now that he's 40, I'm concerned that the age gap with his cousins might make it difficult for them to bond." He added, "Whenever I asked him about having a girlfriend, he seemed stressed."

Kim Ji-seok's father further revealed, "I had given up hope, but then news broke that he had a girlfriend. I was waiting for him to introduce her, and he finally did." He expressed his joy, saying, "There's a generational gap, so communication isn't always smooth. I wish they would marry soon, but since she's an actress, he might be hesitant to hinder her career."

Kim Yong-man asked Kim Ji-seok's father about his impression of his son's girlfriend. He replied, "I was amazed and relieved. But while I'm relieved, I'm also worried about when I'll see grandchildren." He added, "I just want to support them as best as I can."

Regarding his eldest son, Kim Ji-seok's father shared, "My eldest studied at Oxford, which was expensive. I sent money to his account so he could pay the tuition himself, hoping he'd understand our struggles, but he delayed a year and used the money for dating." He humorously added, "It's fortunate that the girl he met at 20 is now my daughter-in-law."
