Song Il-gook, the father of the triplets known as 'Daehan, Minguk, and Manse' and an actor, appeared on 'Radio Star' to candidly share his 14-year parenting life and the recent challenges of raising his teenage sons.
The MBC 'Radio Star' airing on the 7th features actor Song Il-gook, actress Oh Min-ae, broadcaster Jung Si-a, and singer KCM in a special episode for Parents' Day titled 'We Were Totally Deceived.'
Song Il-gook is married to a judge and has three sons, affectionately referred to as the 'triplets.' He gained national popularity through his appearance on 'The Return of Superman' (hereafter 'Superman is Back'), and the pure and adorable nature of his three children won the hearts of viewers.
Song Il-gook reveals the current situation of his triplets, who are now in the first year of middle school. He shares, "Now all three have entered their teenage years," and expresses his concerns, saying, "The kids listen well to their mom but throw everything at me."
He notes that the personalities and tendencies of his three sons are completely different, reminiscing about the childhood of Daehan, Minguk, and Manse. This leads to practical advice from the other MCs and guests, resulting in a significant realization that brings laughter.
Recalling the popularity during his time on 'Superman is Back,' he reveals, "The triplet calendar sold for nearly 300 million won, and all proceeds were donated," bringing warmth to the conversation. An episode where he briefly entrusted the triplets to a citizen of Songdo while he took a break during his 'solo parenting' days also made the studio burst into laughter.
Recently, Song Il-gook took on his first leading role in the musical 'Sadness with a Sword.' He shares, "I even shaved my head, and there are eight musical numbers," indicating that he is putting all his effort into preparing for the musical. Most notably, he reveals that he promised to lose 10 kg for the role of a mission ambassador, introducing the character as "someone comparable to General Yi Sun-sin," raising expectations.
The current situation of the triplets, the real-life concerns of father Song Il-gook, and his passion for musicals can be seen on 'Radio Star' airing on the 7th at 10:30 PM.
