1TYM‘s Song Baek-kyung reveals his current status.

On the KBS 2TV show ‘Men Who Do Housework Season 2’ (hereafter ‘Mr. House Husband’), which will air on the 15th (Sat), 1TYM’s Song Baek-kyung will appear as the first protagonist of ‘Nostalgic House Husband’.

1TYM swept the Rookie of the Year and Main Awards immediately after their debut in 1998, and created a hip-hop craze in the music industry with their sophisticated music. Song Baek-kyung was a member with a cute appearance and entertainment sense, and received a lot of love from the public, but there had been little news since 2007.

Song Baek-kyung, who was summoned as ‘Nostalgic House Husband’ thanks to the support of fans, will reveal his current status for the first time on ‘Mr. House Husband’. Song Baek-kyung, who has now become a father of two, is living a fierce life as a voice actor and a restaurant owner. In particular, Song Baek-kyung strongly urges his son, “Dad, I’m no longer a celebrity. You shouldn’t go around saying that,” and reveals the reason why he left the entertainment industry.

It is revealed that Song Baek-kyung has worked as an exclusive voice actor for KBS and is a talented person who has participated in famous commercial narrations. On this day, Song Baek-kyung participates in the recording of a radio drama as a voice actor, and MC Eun Ji-won, who is watching, exclaims, “That’s not the Song Baek-kyung I knew.” Song Baek-kyung confesses the reason why he had no choice but to challenge himself as a voice actor.

In addition, Song Baek-kyung reveals his busy daily life running a restaurant with his 68-year-old mother. MC Baek Ji-young says, “She’s so beautiful,” commenting on Song Baek-kyung’s mother’s youthful beauty that is hard to believe for a 68-year-old.

Song Baek-kyung‘s mother reminisces about the past, mentioning how she came to work with her son. The mother says, “My husband passed away when my son was 14,” and opens up about the time she raised her two siblings alone while working at a restaurant. Song Baek-kyung says, “My mother worked at a restaurant for over 30 years, and she’s the one who‘s working the hardest at her son’s store,” expressing her gratitude. Song Baek-kyung, who skips meals and focuses on preparing food, reveals her extraordinary love for her family, saying, “I hold on while thinking of my family. They‘re the source of my strength.” But soon, he bickers with his mother and makes people laugh.

The daily life of Song Baek-kyung, the first protagonist of ‘Memories of House Husband’, can be seen on KBS 2TV ‘House Husband’, which airs on Saturday the 15th at 9:20 PM.
