Kwon Rook-hee shares university admission concerns and height growth

Kwon Rook-hee, the 183cm tall son of actors Kwon Sang-woo and Son Tae-young, revealed his interest in physics and biology while discussing the challenges of US university admissions in a recent YouTube video.

Kwon Rook-hee, the son of actors Kwon Sang-woo and Son Tae-young, has revealed both his impressive physical growth and his realistic concerns regarding his future path. Having grown to a height of 183cm, he drew attention with a witty personality inherited from his parents while also expressing serious concerns as a student preparing for university admissions in the United States.

On the 18th, a video titled "New Jersey daily life featuring Son Tae-young's son Rook-hee (Please look at him kindly~)" was released on the YouTube channel 'Mrs. New Jersey Son Tae-young'. In the video, Rook-hee conversed naturally with the production crew, speaking candidly about his recent status, interests, and the issues weighing most heavily on his mind.

His noticeably grown physique was particularly eye-catching. Revealing that he is currently 183cm tall, Rook-hee expressed his wish, saying, "I am growing more. I hope I can grow to 186cm." He showed a relaxed demeanor, even joking that he seems to be taller than his father, Kwon Sang-woo. For viewers who remember his childhood, his sudden growth is especially striking.

However, as much interest as his physical growth garnered, his concerns regarding university entrance also drew attention. Mentioning the US admissions environment, Rook-hee explained, "In the US, you can't get into college just by being good at one thing. Even if you are good at soccer, if you don't study, you can't go to college." He directly pointed out the reality that athletic skill alone makes it difficult to enter a desired university.

When the production crew asked if he had received a perfect score on a math exam, Rook-hee replied calmly, "That is true." When asked about his areas of interest, he stated, "I am on the science side. Physics and biology." He drew interest by showing that while he has clear interests, he is also contemplating the realistic task of university admission.

He also spoke candidly about the reason he switched his social media account to public. When asked about the background by the crew, Rook-hee replied, "Because my mom keeps uploading photos that I dislike." He explained that he wanted to directly show images of himself that he actually likes, rather than the photos Son Tae-young posts. The crew laughed, noting, "So you just wanted to upload photos where you look good instead."

He lightened the mood with a witty response to the observation that his attitude differs when speaking Korean versus English. To the question, "You are kind when speaking English. Why are you so unkind when speaking Korean?", he shot back, "It's because I take after my mom and dad." His playful remark toward his parents offered a glimpse into the natural family atmosphere.

Kwon Sang-woo and Son Tae-young married in 2008 and had a son, Kwon Rook-hee, in 2009 and a daughter, Ri-ho, in 2015. Son Tae-young lives in New Jersey, USA, with her children, while Kwon Sang-woo continues his activities traveling between Korea and the United States. While Rook-hee has been shared occasionally through his parents' daily lives, he has now directly revealed his face and thoughts, conveying both his grown appearance and the realistic concerns of a teenager facing university admissions.
