Singer Gary shared an update on his daily life, revealing that he is currently sending his son, Hao, to a Daechi-dong cram school.

On the 23rd, a video titled "Gary Kang, Hao's dad who can't leave Eunma (feat. waiting at the cram school)" was released on the YouTube channel 'KANG GARY'.

In the released video, Gary waited for his son Hao's class to end after dropping him off at the cram school, engaging in various conversations with the production crew during the wait.

On this day, Gary stated, "I moved my son's cram school to Daechi-dong. I am not a full-fledged Daechi-dong parent, but I am living the life of a father who shuttles back and forth to the cram school." He added, "It has not been long since we moved to Daechi-dong. Before that, he attended many cram schools in our neighborhood."

He continued, "There are times when I drop him off, come home, and then head out again. If the timing is awkward, I buy kimbap from a car and eat it. When I am with my wife, we talk inside the car," sharing that he adjusts his life to match his son's cram school schedule.

In particular, Gary had to wait for a full three hours until Hao's class ended on this day. He said, "Eventually, I think I will have to find something nearby for self-improvement. I should at least exercise or study English."

He also revealed, "There is plenty of food here. This was my first time coming to the Daechi-dong cram school district because of Hao." He added, "In our neighborhood, if there is about three hours of free time, I go home and come back, but in Daechi-dong, it takes an hour just to go back and forth, which is a hassle."

Gary also mentioned the intense private education environment in Daechi-dong.

He explained, "Daechi-dong is not just for kids from this neighborhood; many come from other areas as well. For that, parents must make time." He added, "In Daechi-dong, there are entrance exams before registering for a cram school. Top-tier cram schools have high barriers to entry, and students sometimes take private tutoring just to get into those schools."

He then stated, "Of course, I do not do that," distancing himself from excessive competition in private education.

Gary shared his thoughts on his son's education, saying, "Even so, since we have to keep up, rather than doing advanced learning, we should follow the curriculum well." He added, "There are definitely children who like studying, and there are also children whose personalities fit this kind of environment well. Ultimately, it is something the child themselves must decide."

Meanwhile, Gary married a non-celebrity wife in 2017 and welcomed his son Hao that same year. Subsequently, he appeared on the KBS 2TV variety show "Super Dad" with his son, receiving much love from viewers.
