Tony An referred to Im Hyun-sik as his father.
On the afternoon of the 6th, the SBS variety show ‘My Ugly Duckling’ (hereafter ‘My Ugly Duckling’) featured Tony An and his mother meeting Im Hyun-sik.
During the broadcast, Tony An expressed his surprise as he watched Im Hyun-sik prepare a wrap for his mother, saying, “This is really strange. It’s the first time I’ve seen my mom like this.”
He continued, “My father passed away 17 years ago. Since then, I haven’t called anyone ‘father’,” he added. In response, Tony An's mother said, “Since there’s no father, it’s okay to call him father,” and Im Hyun-sik encouraged him, saying, “Go ahead and call him.”
When Tony An finally called out “Father,” Im Hyun-sik responded with a smile, “Yes, my son.”
‘My Ugly Duckling’ airs every Sunday at 9:05 PM on SBS.
