[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Actor Kim Seung-hyun and singer Hong Kyung-min expressed their difficulties regarding family variety shows.

On the 3rd, MBC Every1's 'Video Star' featured Michael Lee, Hong Kyung-min, Kim Seung-hyun, Ji Il-joo, and Yoo Seul-gi as guests.

During the broadcast, Hong Kyung-min confessed that he struggled with malicious comments after appearing on a parenting variety show with his daughter Rawon.

Hong Kyung-min said, "It's not something only I experience," and added, "Seung-hyun also faces this; when you appear on a show with your family, people say things like 'Aren't you just making money by using your child?'"

He continued, "The program footage is high-quality material that cannot be easily left behind," and said, "When my daughter turns 10, 20, or reaches the age to get married, I think about how much of a great gift this footage will be. It feels like a gift of time that cannot be compared to money."

Kim Seung-hyun also revealed, "I suffered emotionally from malicious comments about my family," and said, "There were comments saying my daughter doesn't look like her dad, and that my parents try to stand out more than their son."

Nevertheless, he empathized, saying, "Our family seems to be doing a bucket list. We are doing things through the show that we couldn't do before," and added, "Above all, before the show, I was awkward with my daughter. Through the show, I got to understand her true feelings and talk a lot, which is the best part."
