Parenting Adolescents While “Praying Every Day”
Song Il-kook appeared on KBS Cool FM’s ‘Park Myung-soo’s Radio Show’ on the 26th with actors Song Seon-mi and Sa-gang. After answering that his family’s health was his greatest desire, he confessed that he had been stressed lately because Dae-han, Min-guk, and Man-se had entered their second year of middle school and were going through adolescence.
He said that all three children were in their second year of middle school and said, “I’m living day by day while praying.” Even in response to the host’s encouragement, he repeatedly replied, “It’s so difficult.” This exchange consisted of remarks made on the broadcast while discussing the difficulties of parenting.
Dae-han, Min-guk, and Man-se appeared on the KBS 2TV entertainment program ‘The Return of Superman’ during childhood. For viewers who remember them as they were then, the news that the three brothers have entered adolescence itself is a moment that makes the passage of time palpable.
Min-guk Said, “Please Don’t Talk About Me”
Song Il-kook previously spoke about the changed appearances of his three sons on KBS 1TV’s ‘Morning Yard’ last May. At the time, he said that Min-guk had asked him not to talk about him before the broadcast.
He also said that he had to obtain permission when uploading photos of the triplets to social media. Song Il-kook described it as feeling as though the children he knew had disappeared and children he did not know had arrived. His words sounded like those of a parent experiencing firsthand the situation in which his children, as they grew, began expressing their wishes about their own stories and the release of their images.
What can be confirmed in common from the two broadcasts is that Song Il-kook directly mentioned the changes his children were experiencing during adolescence. There is no basis in the broadcast remarks for making definitive statements about the children’s specific daily lives or feelings.
Song Il-kook’s Views on Parenting Centered on the Marital Relationship
In response to concerns from a listener raising adolescent children, Song Il-kook said that he believed children would follow when the marital relationship was good. His view was that maintaining a happy relationship as a couple was more important than what to do and how to do it in parenting.
This is Song Il-kook’s personal view on parenting, as shared on the broadcast. It was not presented as a definitive answer applicable to every family with adolescent children, but he identified his family’s health as his greatest wish and shared his own concerns and thoughts as well.
