Previously, during his acceptance speech at the '2025 KBS Entertainment Awards,' Jeon revealed that his father was unwell. He later appeared on 'Problematic Men in the Rooftop Room,' where he shared, "He is currently hospitalized. His blood sugar is high, his vascular health is poor, and he is undergoing dialysis. Doing dialysis three times a week is very exhausting. I often drive myself to the hospital after my schedules, so I don't use my manager's car as much these days."

Regarding his father's condition, Jeon expressed, "His health is not good," adding, "I'm doing my best, which makes me look more tired. It's challenging to make others laugh when you're not in the right state of mind. I'm not in my right mind these days," highlighting the difficulty of entertaining viewers while worrying about his father.

He further confessed, "It's not easy to do entertainment while dealing with personal sadness," evoking sympathy from the audience.
