[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Sung-yeol] Singer and composer Kim Jeong-ho supported his son Kim Tae-uk's singing career.

On the morning of the 19th, Kim Jeong-ho, who is serving as a judge on KBS 1TV's 'Morning Yard - Challenge Dream Stage,' said, "I am proud of my son."

In the broadcast that day, Kim Jeong-ho's son Kim Tae-uk appeared on 'Morning Yard - Challenge Dream Stage' to challenge for his first win.

Kim Tae-uk said, "I wanted to become a singer, but my father opposed it. I earned money to become a singer, but I was scammed out of all of it," adding, "Whenever I was struggling, my stepmother gave me support and encouragement. I really want to become a singer."

In response, other participants said, "It is too harsh to give talent and skill but oppose it," to which Kim Jeong-ho replied, "I had a very hard time singing, so I wanted my son to live an ordinary life."

He continued, "I am usually stingy with praise, but today I am proud of my son," and expressed his support by saying, "I hope he can bring joy, emotion, and hope to the people."

Kim Jeong-ho is 69 years old this year and was an active third-generation member of the singer group 'Sawol and Owol.' He later debuted as a solo artist in 1973 and gained fans' love with the song 'The Girl Without a Name.'

He has also worked as a composer, releasing over 220 songs including 'The Man Holding Flowers,' 'The Woman Removing Makeup,' and 'Hometown Bus.'
