Jang Seung-jo praises 8-year-old son's independent cooking skills

During a YouTube appearance on October 30, actor Jang Seung-jo shared how his 8-year-old son, Aro, has grown to prepare his own breakfast, including dishes like steamed eggs and tuna bibimbap.

Actor Jang Seung-jo shared his pride and amazement at the remarkable growth and capable cooking skills of his 8-year-old son. He expressed admiration for how much the child has grown, noting that the boy now prepares his own breakfast instead of relying on his father to make it for him. His close friend Wax also joined in the praise, complimenting the children's appearance and supporting Jang's pride in his son.

On October 30, a video titled "20-year friend Jang Seung-jo and a talk as delicious as pork belly... about bank balances..." was released on the official YouTube channel of singer Wax, "Wax - Jo Hye-ri." Jang Seung-jo, who is currently appearing in the stage play "The Glass Menagerie," shared stories about his acting, family, and daily life in a comfortable atmosphere stemming from his long-standing relationship with Wax.

A father of two, Jang Seung-jo mentioned that he enjoys cooking and shared his daily routine of preparing meals for his children at home. "I like cooking. In the morning, I used to make the food the children asked for, but now the eldest likes to prepare his own meals," he said. This highlights how the child, who once relied on his father's help, has grown to prepare meals independently in the kitchen.

The morning routine of Jang's son, Aro, particularly drew laughter. "When I say, 'Aro, wake Daddy up tomorrow morning,' Aro responds, 'Daddy, when I wake up tomorrow morning, I'm going to make steamed eggs and tuna bibimbap,'" Jang revealed. The boy's determined attitude of deciding on his menu before even agreeing to wake his father added to the cuteness of the story.

What surprised Jang Seung-jo even more was his son's quite skillful hand movements. "The other day, when he was whisking eggs, his wrist snap was amazing. When I asked, 'Aro, where did you learn that?' he just said, 'I learned it before,' and did it on his own," he said, exclaiming, "It's incredible. He's truly all grown up." Jang felt a special sense of pride seeing his son remember and skillfully execute something he had learned once without specific instruction.

More than just boasting about cooking, Jang's story reflected the realization that his son has grown from a child for whom he made breakfast every morning into someone who prepares his own meals. The father's perspective, finding signs of growth in a small gesture like whisking eggs, provided a heartwarming moment.

Wax, who has maintained a relationship with Jang Seung-jo for nearly 20 years, reacted warmly to the story. "It's cute. The kids are really handsome," Wax praised. As the conversation moved from cooking skills to physical appearance, Jang's affectionate interest in his two children was naturally highlighted.

Jang Seung-jo married musical actress Lina in 2014, and they have one son and one daughter. While continuing his career across the stage and television, he is drawing public attention by revealing his side as a father managing daily life with his two children.
