Kim Jong-kook: "I hope my second child is a daughter... if it's a son, they'll have to be prepared"

Singer Kim Jong-kook has shared his thoughts on fatherhood, expressing a preference for having a daughter. Appearing on the tvN entertainment program 'You Quiz on the Block,' Kim discussed his views on marriage and family.

“

Marriage is so good. It feels like putting a period on an unresolved life's homework.

Kim described marriage as a deeply positive experience, likening it to "putting a period on an unresolved life's homework." He finds comfort in the stability of always having one person to think about. However, he acknowledged the potential difficulties of raising children, noting the practical challenges involved in parenting.

It feels very stable to be in a situation where you only have to think about one person wherever you go. There will be difficulties in raising children and practical hardships when a child is born.

When asked by host Yoo Jae-suk about his desire for a daughter, Kim explained his reasoning. He suggested that raising a daughter might require more careful consideration, while a son could perhaps be managed more easily. This led to a humorous exchange where Yoo Jae-suk commented on the difficulty of being Kim Jong-kook's son, to which Kim jokingly replied, "My son is dead."

I think raising a daughter might be cautious, and perhaps a son would be a little better?

The singer further elaborated on his future parenting style, emphasizing the importance of home education. He playfully apologized to his hypothetical future son, stating, "I apologize in advance. Everything is for your own good, so don't resent me." This lighthearted remark added to the comedic tone of the interview, highlighting Kim's playful yet firm approach to potential fatherhood.

My son is dead. I'm sorry.
