Cho Jung-seok reveals both daughters resemble him instead of wife Gummy

During an appearance on the SBS program 'Master Hang-jun' on the 29th, actor Cho Jung-seok shared that his nine-month-old second daughter resembles him even more than his seven-year-old first daughter.

Actor Cho Jung-seok brought laughter to viewers by revealing that both of his daughters resemble him. Although he harbored a subtle hope that his second daughter would take after his wife, Gummy, the child was born looking even more like him than his first daughter. Cho showcased his devoted "daughter-fool" side by sharing the appearances of his two daughters and the special games he plays with them.

During an appearance as a guest on the SBS entertainment program 'Master Hang-jun' broadcast on the 29th, Cho Jung-seok shared stories about his family. He stated that his first daughter is seven years old, and his second daughter, born this past January, is currently nine months old. While discussing the children's recent lives, the conversation turned to who they resemble.

Cho responded that his first daughter "resembles me a lot." However, the second daughter was no exception. He confessed his expectation for his wife's features, saying, "When the second one was conceived, I secretly hoped she would resemble Gummy. I wanted to see that look, too."

The reality differed from his expectations. Cho revealed, "The second one was born, and she resembles me even more than the first," causing the cast to laugh. Both daughters have inherited their father's face. Listening to the story, Song Eun-i made a witty remark, "It's Cho 3, Gummy 1," which filled the set with laughter.

Cho's affection for his daughters extends beyond their appearance. He recalled that when his first daughter was born, "I did almost all the childcare for about 100 days," noting how he constantly carried her in a baby carrier. He showed his commitment to spending time with his newborn despite his busy schedule as an actor.

His extraordinary affection for parenting left a strong impression on those around him. Cho revealed that when actor Jung Sang-hoon visited his home, Jung offered to hold the daughter, but Cho declined. He recalled, "Because I kept holding her for an hour or two, he scolded me, saying, 'You can't walk.'" This conveyed the image of a father who does not want to put his daughter down.

He also mentioned that he enjoys role-playing with his daughters at home. Cho introduced his role in their games, stating, "In princess play, I specialize in the role of the prince." He added that Gummy was assigned the role of a clock, drawing laughter. This provides a glimpse into his daily life actively participating in his daughters' play.

However, his realistic acting skills as an actor sometimes had the opposite effect during play. Cho shared that his monster and Dracula play were banned because his daughters found them too scary, reporting that they shout, "Come back to being Dad, zap!" While he is a skilled actor in front of the stage and camera, at home, he is a father who must turn off his acting mode at his daughters' request.

Cho Jung-seok and Gummy married in 2018, had their first daughter in 2020, and welcomed their second daughter this past January. Following his confession that both children resemble him despite his hopes for a daughter looking like his wife, interest has grown in his warm side as a devoted father through these parenting anecdotes.
