Singer Kim Jong-min has begun studying Korean language in preparation for the birth of his son.
In an episode of KBS 2TV's variety show '1 Night 2 Days Season 4' airing on the 15th, members are shown embarking on a trip to Gongju in Chungnam Province under the theme "Men Who Challenge the King."
On this day, the members visit the Poollak Literature Museum of poet Na Tae-ju, located in Gongju. While appreciating Na's representative works such as 'Poollak' and 'Happiness,' Kim Jong-min shows an unusual interest in literature.
Kim Jong-min expresses regret that "many people do not read literature these days," and then reveals, "I have recently started studying Korean language. I am learning spacing and spelling." When Lee Jun asks, "For your son?", Kim Jong-min shyly smiles and appears to nod his head.
Subsequently, poet Na Tae-ju, who continues his writing activities at the literature museum, makes a surprise appearance. As the members fail to hide their surprise, attention is also drawn to what kind of conversation Kim Jong-min, who has started studying Korean language, will have with Poet Na.
Afterward, the members challenge themselves to the "Identity Golden Bell" mission, which involves filling in the blanks of literary works and song lyrics. As the youngest member, Lee Gi-taek, gets even familiar nursery rhyme questions wrong, continuing a streak of incorrect answers, the members sigh, saying, "That guy has no knowledge at all," eliciting laughter.
Meanwhile, Kim Jong-min married his non-celebrity wife, who is 11 years younger than him, in April of last year. He is currently also active as an MC for KBS 2TV's 'The Return of Superman.'
'1 Night 2 Days Season 4' airs at 6:10 p.m. on the 15th.
