[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Actor and former mixed martial arts fighter Yuk Jin-su expressed his commitment to making efforts regarding his child's education method.

On the 28th, Yuk Jin-su's family appeared on MBC's entertainment program 'Study is Money?' where they were shown worrying about their son Yuk Ji-won's career path.

In the broadcast, Yuk Jin-su received advice from experts concerning the career issues of his second-year middle school son Yuk Ji-won, who shows talent in studying and piano.

Yuk Ji-won said while playing the piano, "I like flashy pieces, so I started self-learning with Liszt's works," and added, "These days, I am into classical classics and performing them."

In response, Lee Han-na said, "Even when he briefly came home, he always paid attention only to his younger brother Ji-woo," and added, "Sometimes when meeting Ji-won, it seemed he was hurt because mom was holding onto Ji-woo. So I thought starting music would make things better, and I recommended it."

Yuk Ji-won continued, "My parents devoted all their time to my sick younger brother, so I had no choice but to rely on the piano," and explained, "At that time, I hardly spoke with my family and there were many frustrating things. As those accumulated, I became lethargic and depressed. Whenever stress built up, I played the piano, which made me feel better. So it naturally became a hobby."

However, Yuk Jin-su was displeased with his son playing the piano and hoped he would enter the Police University.

Yuk Jin-su said, "Because I have an unusual and unique job, I wanted my child to live an ordinary and stable life."

Notably, despite being in the second year of middle school, Yuk Ji-won solved high school CSAT special lecture workbooks and Olympiad problems.

Watching this, expert Kang Yong-chul said, "I think this is one of the all-time great scenes rarely seen."

Expert Kang added, "However, I also think it would be meaningful to give him a chance to challenge the arts high school path," and advised, "Please look into Ji-won's heart."

Expert Lee Byung-hoon also urged, "Ji-won's MBTI personality type is ENTP, so please nurture his interest in the chemistry field he likes."

Meanwhile, expert Son Jeong-seon, regarding Ji-won's anxiety expressed by choosing the emotion card 'nervous,' said, "Ji-won is in a state of strong desire to leave his family and become independent."

Yuk Ji-won also confessed, "It's hard because of managing my school grades," and said, "I hope my parents help and understand me by my side. But even when I talk, I often don't get the answers I want. I think I need to get closer to my parents, but with my dad, I want to hear 'Just do what you want to do.'"

In response, Yuk Jin-su reflected on his different behavior when dealing with his first and second sons and promised, "I will try harder."
