Kim Jaejoong Shares the Struggles of Being a Filial Son
On May 21, 2025, Kim Jaejoong appeared as a guest on the YouTube channel 'Lee Yong-jin's YouTube'. During the episode, Lee Yong-jin introduced him as a devoted son, mentioning that Jaejoong had purchased an incredibly expensive house for his parents. Jaejoong greeted the audience with a cheerful, "Hello, friends of Yongtaro," which elicited laughter from those present.
Jaejoong revealed that he had spoken with Kim Junsu, who had previously appeared on 'Yongtaro', and noted that Junsu had been studying tarot cards for about four to five months. Lee Yong-jin shared that Junsu had expressed gratitude for the kind words Jaejoong had shared with him.
Lee Yong-jin humorously remarked on Jaejoong's filial piety, saying, "I’ll talk seriously without any laughter. How can our dad not be proud?" This prompted more laughter from the audience.
Jaejoong then shared a light-hearted anecdote about how, after his appearance on the show, he received numerous messages from fellow celebrities. They expressed their own pressures from their parents, saying things like, "Why can’t you be as good to your parents as Jaejoong is?" This situation added to the humor of the discussion.
In a notable revelation, it was disclosed that Jaejoong had gifted his parents a luxurious mansion worth approximately 6 billion won. The house features a basement garage, a living room on the first floor, a large terrace on the second floor, and guest rooms on the third floor. To accommodate his ailing parents, Jaejoong even installed an elevator, solidifying his reputation as a devoted son.
