Actor Kim Yong-gun Shows Deep Affection for His 3-Year-Old Son

Actor Kim Yong-gun expressed his deep affection for his 3-year-old son on the tvN STORY show 'What to Leave Behind,' aired on the 30th.

The episode featured a special segment titled 'People of Geumchon House,' where Lee Young-ja, Jung Sun-hee, Lim Chang-jung, and Kim Yong-gun gathered to reminisce about the past.

During the show, Kim Yong-gun revealed his apartment with a stunning view of the Han River. The spacious living room and sophisticated interior were filled with traces of his eldest son, Ha Jung-woo.

Family photos featuring his two sons, Ha Jung-woo and Kim Young-hoon, were displayed in the living room, along with a wedding photo of Kim Young-hoon and his wife, Hwang Bo-ra.

Looking at a childhood photo of Ha Jung-woo in the study, Kim Yong-gun remarked, "The photo is over half a century old, so the color has faded. I occasionally come in to look at it."

The hallway was adorned with paintings by Ha Jung-woo, who is both an actor and a painter, turning the home into a gallery. Kim Yong-gun proudly explained each piece, drawing attention.

In 2021, Kim Yong-gun welcomed a son with his partner, who is 39 years his junior, at the age of 77. He has since completed the legal registration process and is supporting the child's upbringing.

In the preview, Kim Yong-gun mentioned his young son, showcasing his 'fool for his son' side. When Jung Sun-hee commented, "You seem like you'd be great with grandchildren," Kim Yong-gun naturally mentioned his 3-year-old son, saying, "I have another one, you know."

He continued, "My son's voice is so loud, always calling 'Dad.' When I'm sleeping alone, he wakes up and comes to my side. So, if I wake up first, I look at the clock and wait for him to come."

Kim Yong-gun added, "I feel like I don't have much time left, so I hope to see him for a long time," expressing his deep affection for his son.
