On April 2, Lee Min-jung shared a video on her YouTube channel titled “I Want to Be on YouTube!” Fulfilling MJ♥BH’s 10-Year-Old Son’s Wish, His First Public Appearance. The clip shows her son Jun-hoo preparing for a basketball tournament, where he excitedly expressed his desire to be part of his mom’s channel.

Son Tae-young & Kwon Sang-woo’s Children Captivate with Star-Like Visuals
Actress Son Tae-young also gave fans a glimpse of her family life through her YouTube channel, sharing photos of her son and daughter.
One commenter admired the contrast between expectation and reality, “Ri-ho isn’t the cat-like beauty I imagined, she’s more of a soft, puppy-like cutie!” and “Rook-hee? He’s literally a web drama male lead—maybe even more handsome than his dad in his prime!”
Son Tae-young agreed with the sentiments, adding with pride, “Ri-ho’s round and adorable, definitely more puppy than cat!” As for her son Rook-hee, she shared that he’s already 180cm tall, and joked, “His girlfriends must hate taking photos with him since his face is so small and he has to stand in front!”
Han Ga-in Shares Heartwarming Stories of Son Jae-woo
Actress Han Ga-in has also stepped into the spotlight as a devoted mother. On tvN’s “Europe Outside the Tent – South France”, she introduced her 5-year-old son Jae-woo via video call, prompting co-star Jo Bo-ah to exclaim, “Wow, so handsome!”
On her own YouTube channel “Madame Freedom Han Ga-in,” she shared a humorous anecdote, “A convenience store auntie recognized Jae-woo as my son because of our similar eyes!”
When asked about his “girlfriend,” Han Ga-in teased him playfully, to which he responded, “I’m going to marry her!” But when asked, “Who’s prettier, Mom or your girlfriend?”, Jae-woo confidently replied, “Mom,” prompting laughter from viewers.
As these celebrity parents open up about their children, fans are embracing a more personal side of stars once known for guarding their family life. With visuals, charm, and charisma seemingly running in the genes, the next generation of K-celebrities may already be waiting in the wings.
