'Teach You a Lesson' star Kim Muyeol and his wife, Yoon Seungah, just shared the absolute cutest stories about their son, Won.  

During the broadcast, his wife Yoon Seungah also revealed that apparently, this tiny human already fully knows what 'protein' means. In the episode of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' that aired on the 1st, Yoon Seungah shared:

"Our son knows the word 'protein.' Since his dad eats protein every single day, he also knows that eating protein helps you build muscles."

Recalling the time when Kim Muyeol was bulking up for a role, Yoon Seungah exposed him and said that he drinks blenderized chicken shake. She said: 

"There was even a chicken-based shake. They even have a strawberry-flavored one. Watching him drink it made me think 'Wow, he really goes through so much.' I guess that's why Won naturally came to associate protein with muscles." 

 

Apart from learning some advanced vocabularies like 'protein,' Won is also super protective of his dad. Kim Muyeol shared a hilarious new trend that has taken over his son's kindergarten class:

"My son just turned three recently. One thing that's been making me especially happy lately is that there's a new catchphrase going around his class: 'Won's dad.'"

Kim Muyeol explained that when he visited his son's kindergarten, one of the kids spotted him and excitedly shouted, "Won's dad!" Sparked by a wave of jealousy, Won immediately shouted back even louder, "Won's dad!' to assert that Kim Muyeol was his father. He added:

"Then it spread like a competition, so now whenever I go to pick him up, all the kids in the class would shout, 'Won's dad!'"

Having publicly confirmed they were dating in 2012, Kim Muyeol and Yoon Seungah got married in 2015. Eight years later, they welcomed their beloved son, Won, in June 2023.

Actor Kim Muyeol revealed the hardships he faced before making it big, admitting that he once only made 200,000 KRW in an entire year.

We got a sneak peek at this story right at the end of the episode of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' that aired on the 24th, which dropped a preview for next week's episode featuring Kim Muyeol as their guest.

If you haven't been keeping up, Kim Muyeol is currently enjoying his career peak after reaching global success with the hit Netflix series 'Teach You a Lesson.' The show became a hot topic after ranking #1 globally for two consecutive weeks right after its release. But as it turns out, he actually spent a long time flying completely under the radar. In his rookie days, he was struggling so much that he reportedly only earned 200,000 KRW in an entire year.

During the preview, his wife, actress Yoon Seungah, made a surprise appearance to show support, saying, "We've spent such a long time together," completely melting everyone's hearts by showing her love for her husband.

To give you a quick recap on his personal life, Kim Muyeol and Yoon Seungah officially started publicly dating way back in 2012 and tied the knot in 2015. They welcomed their first son in June 2023, eight years into their marriage.

Kim Muyeol also shared how much his life has changed after years of struggling. When asked, "How good does it feel?", he joked:

"For the first time in 10 years, my neighbors told me that I look cool."

Aditionally, he also shared the backstory of getting a random shoutout from professional wrestler John Cena. When asked why John Cena noticed him, Kim Muyeol answered, "Because we look alike," to which Yoo Jaesuk immediately agreed, "You do look alike."

As for the project that's currently blowing up, 'Teach You a Lesson' follows the story of the Educational Rights Protection Bureau, an organization established to protect teachers' rights and restore order in South Korea's education system after it gets completely disrupted by unruly students, teachers, and parents. It's safe to say the intense plot is definitely hitting the right notes globally right now.

Kim Muyeol expressed his gratitude toward John Cena for giving him a shout-out.

On the 12th, Kim Muyeol sat down for an interview with iMBC Entertainment in Seoul to discuss the Netflix series 'Teach You a Lesson.'

'Teach You a Lesson' tells the story of the Teacher Rights Protection Bureau, an organization established to protect South Korea's collapsing education system from students, teachers, and parents who cross the line. The series is directed by Director Hong Jongchan, who is known for works like 'Juvenile Justice' and 'Dear My Friends,' and written by Writer Lee Namgyu, who is known for 'Daily Dose of Sunshine' and 'The Light in Your Eyes.'

In the series, Kim Muyeol plays Na Hwajin, a former Special Forces soldier who is now working as an inspector for the Teacher Rights Protection Bureau. Always dressed in a black suit and appearing blunt on the outside, he consistently stands on the victims' sides and delivers justice to those threatening the school environment.

Following the series' global success, Kim Muyeol gained attention worldwide for his striking resemblance to John Cena. In fact, John Cena even posted a picture of KIm Muyeol on his personal social media account to give him a shout-out. In response, Kim Muyeol responded wittily by leaving a comment, "Now you can see me."

During the interview, Kim Muyeol expressed his admiration for John Cena. He explained, "I've been a WWE fan since I was a kid, back when Hulk Logan and Warrior were champions. Watching John Cena succeed in WWE and then transition into acting, I felt that he wasn't just entertaining, but also very thoughtful and broad-minded." He added:

"When John Cena personally posted my photo, I thought a lot about how to respond. I wondered if I should post a photo of him too. After thinking about how to exprerss my gratitude, I decided to just leave a comment."

Regarding people pointing out their resemblance, Kim Muyeol nodded and said, "I agree to a large extent."

He also shared his hopes for John Cena to make a special cameo appearance if 'Teach You a Lesson' Season 2 gets produced, saying:

"It would be great if he could make an appearance (in 'Teach You a Lesson 2)."

Meanwhile, 'Teach You a Lesson' was released on June 5.
