Actor Kang Eun-tak spoke about his late father, Shin Woo-cheol.

In the episode of the KBS 1TV variety program 'Hwang Shin-hye's Let's Eat Together' broadcast on the 30th, Kang Eun-tak was shown meeting with Hwang Shin-hye, Yang Jung-a, and Shin Gye-sook.

On this day, Kang Eun-tak said regarding changes after his marriage, "A lot of things change. My life direction, how I approach work, and my choices have changed significantly. Even when buying a piece of furniture or turning on the TV remote, the biggest change is in my decision-making."

Hwang Shin-hye asked about Kang Eun-tak's father, and Kang Eun-tak recalled, "It has already been 12 years since he passed away. As I got older, I think I became increasingly blunt. We did not express our emotions much to each other. Only after he fell ill did my father gradually open up his heart."

Regarding moments when he misses his father, Kang Eun-tak said, "The time I thought of him the most is now. Since I am thinking about becoming a father myself, I recently visited the columbarium and left a handwritten letter for my father that I had not written in a long time. I wrote, 'Father, I am also trying to become a father for the first time.' I wrote that he seems to need prayers from his dad and asked for help. I did not know who to talk to. The only person I seriously think of is my father. So I went there and seemed to have asked him through a letter." In response, Hwang Shin-hye also showed tears.

Kang Eun-tak said about his father, "He worked in the film industry. He was an actor and did camera work. He stayed in the association for a long time," identifying him as the late film director Shin Woo-cheol.

He added, "I think we did not have much conversation. He disliked that I was doing this job. He deliberately tried not to give any help. He told me to reach a certain position with my own strength. He wanted me to prove myself. I also did not rely on him. But I should have."

Kang Eun-tak revealed his affectionate feelings, saying, "He passed away after watching the entire work in which I played the lead role for the first time. It seems he enjoyed it because the historical background matched the background of his life. He did not show it on his face, but when he was hospitalized at the cancer center, if there was a screening, he would not be in the hospital room. He went out to the first-floor lobby and watched it together with us. And then he pretended he had not seen it. I prayed a lot about being grateful for passing that audition and becoming the lead. I could give him that time as a gift."
