Singer Yoon Sang revealed that following his eldest son's debut with RIIZE, his second son is now also preparing to become an idol.

On the episode of KBS 'Problem Child in House' that aired on the 7th, the OG sweet-voice boyfriend trio Lee Hyunwoo, Yoon Sang, and Kim Hyunchul appeared as guests.

During the show, Yoon Sang talked about his eldest son, Anton, who is currently active as a member of RIIZE. He said, "At first, I opposed it because there was no guarantee he would debut," and added, "When he suddenly said he wanted to come back to Korea, it gave me a headache. I thought, 'I didn't live apart from my family all those years just for this.'"

Yoon Sang was afraid that he might be blocking his son's dream, saying, "I told him to come to Korea for now." At the time, Anton had been a competitive swimmer for over 10 years, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, swimming pools were closed and he was no longer able to train.

Explaining what eventually changed his mind, Yoon Sang shared, "He kept sending me so many songs that he had composed himself. I could feel how serious he was about music and realized that I couldn't stop him."

Ultimately, Anton succeeded in debuting with RIIZE, and seeing that inspired Yoon Sang's younger son to dream of becoming a singer as well. Yoon Sang revealed, "My second son is five years younger than him. With his older brother becoming an idol, how could he focus on studying?" and confirmed that his second son is also preparing to be an idol.

Yoon Sang then joked, "Now, Anton is the one who opposes it. He tells his younger brother to focus on studying," making everyone laugh. He added, "But still, shouldn't I give them equal opportunities? If he finds it too hard or realizes that it's not his path, he can always go back to studying."

Meanwhile, Yoon Sang married Shim Hyejin in 2002 and has two sons. His eldest son, Lee Chanyoung, was active as a swimmer in the United States before debuting in 2023 as a member of RIIZE under SM Entertainment.

Model and entertainer Hong Jinkyung has made a bold decision regarding her daughter Rael's college plans.

On the 7th, a video titled 'Hong Jinkyung's shocking announcement to completely overhaul her Youtube channel' was posted on her Youtube channel, 'Zzin_Genius.'

In this video, Hong Jinkyung discussed the future direction of the channel's content in the age of AI together with Nam Changhee and MC Gree.

During the conversation, the production team asked Hong Jinkyung, "Are you changing the direction because Rael lost interest in going to college?"

Hong Jinkyung honestly replied, "Right now, Rael doesn't really want to go to college, and I don't particularly want to send her either," drawing attention.

When the production team followed up by saying, "But when she was in 5th grade, didn't you say that you definitely wanted her to go to college?"

Hong Jinkyung said, "If there's something specific she wants to learn, of course she should go. But going to college just because everyone else is going? I think that's truly meaningless."

She continued, "I think it's better to start pursuing what you really want to do at an early age," emphasizing her belief that personal direction and goals are more important than a college degree.

She also joked, "That girl has no interest in studying anyway. Absolutely none," and added, "I noticed it when she was about 4 years old. I thought she might change as she grew up, but in that regard, she's been remarkably consistent," drawing laughter.

Regarding Hong Jinkyung's realistic views on education and her honest remarks, netizens reacted positively with comments like, "I think that mindset really fits today's era," "It's better than forcing your child to go to college," and "She's a mother who respect Rael's opinion," and more.
