Yoon Hyun-min Opens Up About His Complex Family History on 'My Little Old Boy'

On the latest episode of SBS's 'My Little Old Boy,' actor Yoon Hyun-min shared his intricate family story, revealing the presence of two mothers in his life.

During the episode aired on the 27th, Yoon Hyun-min captivated viewers with his striking resemblance to his mother, both in appearance and personality. Living in a two-story country house, he impressed with his meticulous morning routine, including perfectly arranging his bedding.

It turns out his mother's influence was strong, as she even ironed his underwear. After cleaning, his mother would insist on tidiness, even ironing the bed sheets, to which Yoon humorously protested, "It's not like our house is a sterile room."

In a playful exchange, Yoon's mother teased him by saying, "You look ugly today," to which he humorously retorted, "Have you looked in the mirror, mom?" Ahead of Parents' Day, he showed his filial side by giving his mother a card to use freely for two weeks.

Yoon also opened up about his family history, sharing the story of his father who passed away three years ago due to illness. He revealed that his parents divorced when he was three, and his father remarried three years later, introducing a new mother figure into his life.

His mother emphasized the importance of respect, teaching him to address his stepmother as "mother" rather than "aunt."

His mother shared that she maintained a good relationship with Yoon's father until his passing, even facilitating a meeting before his death and attending the funeral. She advised Yoon to always uphold basic manners and express gratitude.

Yoon humorously recounted how his parents attended school meetings together to avoid showing signs of a broken family, only to leave separately without looking back.

Reflecting on his father's illness, Yoon shared that he took a two-year break from work to care for him. He expressed regret over not having lived with his father, as he had prepared a two-story house for them, only for his father to become paralyzed unexpectedly.

He recalled his father's words, "Are you ruined? Why aren't you working?" which motivated him to appear on a baseball variety show, hoping his father would see him on TV and feel better. Unfortunately, his father passed away before the first broadcast, leaving Yoon with a heavy heart.

Meanwhile, Yoon showed his caring nature by visiting his stepmother and gifting her a carnation. He shared his plans to sing at his half-sibling's wedding, demonstrating a harmonious family relationship. Hosts Shin Dong-yup and Seo Jang-hoon praised him, saying, "It's not an easy thing to do, but it's remarkable."
