Go Kyung-pyo admits on 'I Live Alone' he's not ready to be a father

Actor Go Kyung-pyo opened up about his anxieties regarding fatherhood on the MBC variety show 'I Live Alone.' During a meeting with his longtime friend and "Reply 1988" co-star Ryu Hye-young, Go Kyung-pyo shared his candid feelings.

“

I don't think I can be a father. I lack confidence.

"I don't think I can be a father. I lack confidence," Go Kyung-pyo admitted. Despite Ryu Hye-young suggesting he would be a "friend-like father," Go Kyung-pyo elaborated on his current priorities. "I think I still have many things I want to achieve. That ambition doesn't seem directed towards family yet," he explained.

He revealed a poignant conversation with his own father, who had burned the family's ancestral records. "My father told me, 'Live your life fully. Marry if you want to,'" Go Kyung-pyo recounted. This gesture from his father, who seemingly encouraged him to forge his own path, underscored Go Kyung-pyo's internal conflict.
