• Trot singer Seong-min in Hanbok interview

Singer Seong-min expressed deep affection for his wife, Kim Sa-eun, and their son, Do-yoon.

Seong-min recently shared his thoughts on balancing work and parenting during a Hanbok interview held at the StarNews building in Seorin-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, to celebrate Chuseok.

Seong-min married musical actress Kim Sa-eun in 2014 and welcomed their son Do-yoon in September 2024, marking ten years of marriage. Last year, he appeared on KBS 2TV's "The Return of Superman" with his son, who arrived like a miracle, revealing their daily parenting life. Recently, through KBS 1TV's "Live with Hwang Shin-hye," he openly expressed his love for his 24-month-old son, bringing warmth to viewers.

Regarding appearing on broadcasts with his son, Seong-min said, "It was a cautious matter, so I had many discussions with my wife. When Do-yoon was an infant, we occasionally featured him on my wife's YouTube channel, but we decided against excessive exposure as it might not be ideal. We agreed to handle each situation wisely as it arises."

On "Live with Hwang Shin-hye," he drew attention for his endearing "foolish father" persona. At the time, Seong-min mentioned, "I wish my son would grow up quickly," sparking curiosity among viewers.

Addressing this, Seong-min explained, "During filming, my son seemed on the verge of speaking but wasn't quite there yet. I likely said that out of hope for a time when we could truly communicate. However, within a month after filming, he started talking fluently and now speaks constantly. His assertiveness has grown, and his ability to express himself is clear, which feels amazing and brings me joy."

He continued, "At the same time, I also think, 'If he grows up quickly, he'll drift away from me.' The desire for him to grow fast coexists with a wish for him to grow more slowly. My wife still gets startled and delighted whenever my son says just one word. Regarding parenting styles, I believe every family must differ in their approach, so I tend to follow my wife's opinions and educational methods."

He added, "Our couple shares similar values. While many things are alike, there are also starkly opposite aspects. Interestingly, these differences complement each other perfectly. When I first met my wife, it felt like interlocking gears turning smoothly together," expressing deep trust in his wife, Kim Sa-eun.

Seong-min strives to maintain balance between his career as a singer and family life. He emphasizes the importance of clearly distinguishing between on and off modes.

He stated, "When working or meeting fans, I focus 100% on that moment, which happens naturally without much effort. Conversely, once my schedule ends and I return home, I shift to a realistic mode as a father caring for my son. Moving forward, I hope to maintain this clear separation between on and off modes. Through this process, I also feel myself continuously developing and growing as an individual."
