Broadcaster Jeon Min-gi had a tearful reconciliation with his father after opening up about his true feelings.

In an episode of MBN's variety program 'Precious Family' aired on the 21st, broadcaster Jeon Min-gi was shown having an honest conversation with his father.

That day, Jeon Min-gi recalled, "My dad had a bit of a perfectionist streak. I think he cared more about me not making mistakes than seeing me as a child. Even when other children were playing together outside, he would tell only me to be quiet and stay still. He disliked others seeing me make mistakes or fail, so I think he nagged me a lot."

Jeon Min-gi also confessed that he once resented his father at the time. He said, "Every time my grades dropped, he scolded me repeatedly. Back then, I even thought, 'If I don't study hard, Dad will be the most upset.' He never talked about anything other than studying. It felt like he only judged me based on results without seeing the effort I put in, which really twisted my heart."

Later, when they sat alone together, Jeon Min-gi's father spoke first: "I think I pushed and pressured you too hard to study while you were in high school, which may have created some distance between us over the years."

In response, Jeon Min-gi said, "That's absolutely true. All I remember is him telling me to study. If I did well on a test, I got praised; if not, I got scolded. So I even thought, 'Dad only cares about my grades.'"

He continued, "When my grades dropped, he would scold me so severely that it was hard for me to open up or even say, 'Let me try something.' I always felt like he'd react negatively. Also, since Dad had achieved success at a young age by my standards, I knew he wasn't satisfied with himself, which made me feel even more intimidated and overwhelmed whenever he pushed me."

The father added, "But now, seeing how you treat Yoo Geon, I realize I was a zero-point dad back then. If I could go back to this generation, I think I'd have to do things the same way you do." He reflected on his past behavior.

He continued, "Still, you always had a goal. You suddenly said you wanted to become an announcer or go into broadcasting." Jeon Min-gi recalled, "At that time, our relationship was very strained, and the tuition for the announcer academy was expensive. When I told him I wanted to try it, Dad happily gave me a large sum of money and said, 'Work hard.' I think that was the first time in a long while I felt my dad being happy."

The father then admitted, "Back then, you seemed lost without any direction. But when you said you wanted to try something, I realize I may have misunderstood things."

Jeon Min-gi said, "Now I understand everything. Having a son of my own helped me truly understand what Dad went through. Dad was also sick before. Although he's recovered now, I hope he stays healthy and spends many more years with us." Hearing this, father and son finally shed tears.

With tears in his eyes, the father said, "Now I finally understand what you were trying to say. From now on, I'll live in a direction that leads to happiness. Thank you." His words brought deep emotion to the moment.
