Singer and actor Kim Jaejoong (40) shared that his nephew recently had a baby, making him the first K-Pop idol to officially become a 'K-Grandfather.'
On the episode of KBS2's 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant' that aired on the 15th, Kim Jaejoong invited his close friends Choi Jinhyuk, Yoon Shiyoon, and Yoo Seonho to his family home and prepared them a nourishing meal. While talking to his mother during the cooking, Kim Jaejoong revealed the news by saying, "My nephew had a baby. That means I have my first grandchild now, right?"
Kim Jaejoong had previously shared the news of his nephew's pregnancy a year ago through 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant.' On this day, he excitedly said, "I've finally become a grandfather. It feels realy strange." In response, MC Boom offered his congratulations, saying, "With the birth of the fourth generation in your family of nine siblings, the total number of your family members has now grown to 34."
Kim Jaejoong's 'grandfather' story had previously been mentioned on KBS2's 'The Return of Superman' in January. At the time, while meeting actor Shim Hyungtak, he honestly shared, "My nephew, who is my second older sister's son, is only four years younger than me. He recently got married and had a child. Once that child starts talking, they'll call me 'Grandfather,' which gives me a very strange feeling."
Immediately after the broadcast, fans reacted with comments such as, "The youngest and most handsome grandfather in the world," "A family with 34 members is incredible," and "The first idol to become a grandfather. That's hilarious."
