Super Junior's Sungmin appeared on the YouTube channel 'ChaoRoom' on the 19th and shared his thoughts about becoming a father to his first son in 2024. Sungmin described the moment he first met his newborn son as feeling like "time had stopped," and revealed he became emotional when his baby recognized and responded to his voice. He reflected on the profound realization that "I have a child I need to take responsibility for," acknowledging the weight of fatherhood. Regarding his son's potential future interest in becoming an idol, Sungmin stated he would encourage him to "try as much as he can," explaining that since he has walked that path himself, he could offer guidance and support rather than discourage his son's dreams. However, he noted that professional vocal lessons would be necessary, comparing it to how driving instruction shouldn't be taught within the family. Sungmin debuted with Super Junior in 2005 and married actress Kim Sa-eun in 2014, continuing his solo activities.
