Jin Seon-kyu feels left out as daughter enters puberty

During the MBC broadcast of "Where Is My Home" on the 5th, actor Jin Seon-kyu shared his disappointment that his middle school daughter, who entered puberty last year, now primarily directs her affection toward her mother, Park Bo-kyung.

Actor Jin Seon-kyu expressed disappointment over the changing ways his daughter, who has entered puberty, expresses her affection. Watching his daughter hug and kiss only her mother, Park Bo-kyung, Jin Seon-kyu could not hide his feelings of being left out, though he added with a laugh, "Fortunately, she doesn't lock her door."

In the MBC entertainment program "Where Is My Home" broadcast on the 5th, the "Blue Dragon Awards couple" Jin Seon-kyu and Park Bo-kyung, along with Yang Se-chan and Joo Woo-jae, were shown conducting an inspection of an "award-winning house." The episode drew interest as it revealed everything from the daily lives of the couple, who have walked the acting career path together, to honest concerns regarding their child.

During the broadcast, Park Bo-kyung recalled visiting Daehangno while holding her first child. She noted that at the time, people around her were surprised, exclaiming, "Oh? It's Jin Seon-kyu!" even though he was not by her side, an anecdote that brought laughter by highlighting how much the young daughter resembles her father.

When the topic turned to their child's puberty, Jin Seon-kyu shared the growth process of his eldest daughter. Currently in her first year of middle school, the daughter reportedly entered puberty last year. Jin Seon-kyu expressed his disappointment at the change in her affection, stating, "Suddenly, she only hugs her mother." Given his deep affection for his daughter, this change was unexpected for the father.

When Yang Se-chan asked, "Is the kissing over now too?", Jin Seon-kyu replied, "Occasionally, when my daughter is in a good mood." He explained that while his daughter used to always express affection to him, she now only gives him a kiss occasionally depending on her mood. The sight of the father brightening up at even these small gestures of affection drew laughter.

Jin Seon-kyu lightheartedly addressed his relationship with his adolescent daughter by adding, "Fortunately, she doesn't lock her door." While feeling slighted by the affection directed only toward her mother, his way of naturally accepting his daughter's growth process revealed his side as a "daughter-fool" father.

Viewers found relatability in the fact that Jin Seon-kyu, an actor who delivers intense performances on stage and screen, is an ordinary father at home waiting for the affection of his adolescent daughter. The broadcast delivered warm laughter through the honest feelings of a father feeling the loss of closeness alongside his daughter's growth and the changing daily life of the family.
