Singer Kim Jong-koo, who is nine months into his marriage, has revealed the story of becoming a grandfather.

According to KBS on the 26th, the KBS 2TV variety program "Problem Children Are Here," airing on the 28th, will feature singers Son Tae-jin and Park Ji-hyun as guests.

In that day's broadcast, MC Kim Jong-koo, who is nine months into his marriage, will share the story of becoming a grandfather after his niece or nephew had a child. Just as singer Son Tae-jin, whose father is not much older than his aunt singer Shim Soo-bong, Kim Jong-koo also revealed that he became a grandfather when a child was born to a nephew or niece with whom he does not have a large age gap.

Recently, during a recording session, Kim Jong-koo revealed that his grandchild calls him "grandfather," confessing, "I don't want to be called grandfather, so I've been avoiding him." He had previously married a non-celebrity wife in September last year.

Additionally, Son Tae-jin drew attention by revealing her special family relationship with Shim Soo-bong, a senior figure in the music industry and her aunt.

Son Tae-jin explained that Shim Soo-bong, her grandmother's youngest sister, is about the same age as her father, so they have been close since childhood. She further shared that Son Tae-jin finds the title "grandmother" awkward and cannot call her that, instead using a special title to address Shim Soo-bong.

The special title Son Tae-jin uses to address her aunt Shim Soo-bong will be revealed in the main broadcast.

Meanwhile, on this day, Son Tae-jin performed Kim Jong-koo's hit song "Lovely" in both an opera version and a trot version, making the original singer, Kim Jong-koo, feel proud. In response, Kim Jong-koo followed suit and sang "Lovely" in the trot version himself, creating laughter.

Park Ji-hyun praised Kim Jong-koo's trot singing style, saying, "It sounds similar to senior Na Hoon-a's voice," without holding back her compliments. It is reported that Kim Jong-koo then said, "I should try out for a trot audition," hinting at his debut as a trot singer, which turned the scene into a sea of laughter. The program will air on the 28th at 8:30 p.m.
