Actress Jeon Hye-bin will appear as a guest on ‘Middle-aged Dad is a Flower’.

On the 28th episode of ‘Middle-aged Dad is a Flower’ on Channel A on the 7th, the scene where actress Jeon Hye-bin appears as a guest and receives a warm welcome from the ‘Middle-aged Dad Corps’ Kim Yong-gun, Kim Gu-ra, Shin Sung-woo, Kim Won-joon, Shin Hyun-joon, and Sayuri will be revealed. Jeon Hye-bin introduces herself as “It‘s already been 20 years since my debut”, and shares her recent activities, “I’m now a mother raising a three-year-old son”.

Jeon Hye-bin then says, “As someone who gave birth to a son at the age of 40, I felt a kinship with the ‘flower daddies’ while watching ‘Middle-aged Dad’,“ showing a special sense of intimacy. She also makes everyone laugh by grumbling, ”There wasn‘t a single parent older than me at the daycare.“ ”When I go to the daycare, everyone calls me ’Sister‘ and I feel comfortable,“ said Jeon Hye-bin, adding, ”I feel more precious because I met my child at a late age.“ She was also surprised by the unexpected similarity, saying, ”My son’s name is ‘Tae-oh’, the same name as Shin Sung-woo‘s eldest son.“

While Jeon Hye-bin was watching the daily life of the ’45-year-old flower dad‘ Sayuri, she was helping her ’energizer‘ son Zen get ready to go out, when Sayuri laments, ”I don’t think my daughter will be like this...“ and says, ”My daughter complains about her clothes so they fight every day about going to daycare. “After a while, your son will be comfortable wearing whatever you give him,” she comforts him, forming a bond of sympathy between “mothers of sons.” Also, when ‘57-year-old flower daddy’ Shin Hyun-joon visits his father‘s grave on the ‘10th anniversary’ and sheds tears of longing, he mentions the story of his late mother-in-law and comforts him by saying, “(Shin Hyun-joon’s) father will also always be by your side,” making everyone nod their heads.

Episode 28 of Channel A‘s ‘Middle-aged Dad is a Flower’, where Jeon Hye-bin is actively acting as the ‘empathy goddess’, will air on Thursday, the 7th at 9:30 PM.
