Actor Kang Seok-u celebrates the birth of his grandson

Actor Kang Seok-u announced on social media on the 28th that his son, Kang Jun-young, has become a father. The news follows the arrival of a newborn grandson, a milestone for the family following Kang Jun-young's previous television appearances.

Actor Kang Seok-u has finally become a grandfather. His son, Kang Jun-young, who previously drew public attention for his handsome appearance and outstanding academic records on television, has welcomed a son. Expressing overwhelming emotion, Kang Seok-u, who vividly remembers the birth of his own son, welcomed the new gift of his grandson's arrival. It felt particularly special to see his son, who was once noted on broadcasts with the nickname "Yonsei University Jung Yong-hwa," become a father himself.

On the 28th, Kang Seok-u shared the news of his grandson's birth on his social media, posting, "My son had a son. At that hospital." The brief message captured the emotion of entering a new stage of life, transitioning from the father who raised a son to a grandfather welcoming a grandchild.

He also recalled the moment he first met his son. "I vividly remember 5:00 AM on November 23, 1991, when I met my son... as time has passed, a great gift has arrived," Kang Seok-u wrote. His confession of clearly remembering the moment his son was born in 1991 reflected on the passage of time and the meaning of family. The memory of him first holding his son has now led to the moment his son welcomes his own child.

The shared photos include a glimpse of the newborn grandson. Kang Seok-u also shared photos from his son Kang Jun-young's wedding to share the joyful news. Following his son's marriage and now the birth of his grandson, it has become an incredibly meaningful moment for the family.

Kang Seok-u married his wife, Na Yeon-sin, who was a student in the Department of Western Painting at Ewha Womans University in 1990, after dating for one year. The couple has a son, Kang Jun-young, and a daughter, Kang Da-eun. For Kang Seok-u, who has met the public as an actor for a long time, the birth of this grandson is both news as a celebrity and a personal milestone as a new generation of his family continues.

His son, Kang Jun-young, also garnered public interest through past television appearances. He appeared on the SBS variety program "Take Care of My Dad," revealing his daily life alongside his father Kang Seok-u, and drew attention at the time for his handsome looks. He even earned the nickname "Yonsei University Jung Yong-hwa" online and on broadcasts due to his resemblance to singer Jung Yong-hwa.

Beyond his appearance, his academic performance was also a point of focus. On the tvN program "List Reveal 2014," Kang Jun-young was named "5th Star Child You Want to Brag About." The broadcast revealed that he entered the Department of Business Administration at Yonsei University after scoring 393 out of 400 points on the 2010 College Scholastic Ability Test. He drew significant interest at the time for his excellent grades in addition to his background as a star's son.

The young man who appeared on television with his father has now become the head of a household and a father. This is likely why Kang Seok-u described the moment as a "great gift" while recalling his son's birth. The memory of parents holding their child has, over time, led to the joy of welcoming a grandchild. Congratulations and interest are gathering for the new life that has arrived in the Kang Seok-u family.
