From Uncle to Father, the Reason for Choosing Adoption

When host Lee Yong-ju mentioned the news of his daughter's wedding, Hong Seok-cheon explained the background of how he came to adopt the two children of his sister, who had divorced in the past. He revealed his reason for deciding on adoption, stating, "After my sister divorced, I felt our children would need a father." He explained that although he is not their biological parent, he felt certain he could be a good father and discussed it with his family. He added that while considering the confusion the children might have experienced in the process of an uncle becoming a father, he joked around with them, but in reality, the children were very happy.

"I Felt Sorry Toward the In-laws," the Tension During the Family Meeting

He also confessed honestly about the pressure he felt during the meeting of the families for his daughter, who is set to marry next January. Hong Seok-cheon said, "Actually, I was really so nervous," expressing concern about how his public identity would be perceived by the other family.

He said, "I am a top gay in Korea, so wouldn't the in-laws be becoming the in-laws of a top gay?" noting that he felt apologetic, fearing his identity might be a burden to the in-laws. However, contrary to his worries, the meeting with the future in-laws was harmonious. Hong Seok-cheon shared, "They were truly wonderful people," noting that the head of the in-laws was a fan who had supported him since his appearances on 'Three Guys and Three Girls.'
