"Dad and I" Kim Jung-tae transformed into a villain for his son diagnosed with Asperger syndrome.
TV Chosun's "Dad and Me Season 3," which aired on the 8th, depicts the story of Kim Jung-tae and his wife who visited the hospital for the examination of their eldest son Kim Ji-hoo, who is suspected of Asperger's syndrome.
On this day, Kim Jung-tae and his wife were worried about Ji-hoo, who showed outstanding abilities in various fields such as physics, coding, and animation production, but lacked social skills. In particular, I visited the hospital to consult with an expert on whether Jihoo would be able to do well if he went to a high school with a dormitory.
Ji-hoo underwent various tests along with the interview, and Kim Jung-tae and his wife also worked together by filling out a questionnaire. As a result of the test, Jihu showed a top 0.5% level of space-time intelligence, but lacked vocabulary and was found to correspond to Asperger syndrome. In particular, it showed difficulty in finding the right words for the situation.

Director Noh Kyu-sik, who examined Ji-hoo, explained the difficulties of Ji-hoo and suggested role-play situational play as a way to improve language skills. He emphasized, "It's determined how painful the child will be whether or not he helps these parts well." "Because the child is talented and has difficulties, you have to take a good look and help him. Please take a special look at all aspects," he added.
Kim Jung-tae's wife said, "We both felt refreshed. I think I was convinced of what to do to my child. "It was really refreshing," he said, and Kim Jung-tae also smiled, saying, "I felt good to hear a solution that I'm so grateful for."
Kim Jung-tae then told Ji-hoo, "You can do what you like and are good at. Instead, I just have to fill in the gaps with my family," he encouraged. Ji-hoo also said, "At first, I was afraid because I thought I would suddenly talk about a very big problem," adding, "When I was tested, it was the opposite of fear. I was satisfied that the results were good and the problems were explained very well, so I think the strengths and weaknesses came out together."
After the examination, the family headed to the restaurant to eat samgyetang together to Si-hyeon, his second son. Kim Jung-tae explained the solution to Si-hyun, who is dreaming of becoming an actor, and said, "We can practice acting together," and suggested a situation play for Ji-hoo. Kim Jung-tae then acted as a villain like a "10 million actor" and presented a realistic situational play.
Kim Jung-tae gave Ji-hoo an animated figure, saying, "Thank you for thinking positively," and Ji-hoo also responded with a "hand heart," creating warmth.
