[Sportschosun reporter Lee Ji-hyun] Actor Sung Dong-il showed that his three children still share a warm and close bond.
On the 19th, the YouTube channel "Sul Bitchineun Yoon Jumo" released a video titled "Cute Bin and Joon Are All Grown Up. Dad Minus Dad! Where Are We Going? Memories." That day, Seong Bin, who is attending an arts high school, made a surprise appearance and showed the siblings' close relationship.
Above all, the video drew attention to the strong sibling bond in Sung Dong-il's family. Sung Dong-il expressed pride in his children, saying, "More than what Mom and Dad like, I think the strongest asset is how close the three siblings are." He said that Sung Joon had held his younger siblings' hands since he was little and still takes good care of his youngest sibling. He also added that when the youngest recently wanted to learn skiing, Sung Joon personally went with him, warming viewers' hearts.
Seong Bin also admitted that he had always been especially attached to his older brother since childhood. He laughed, saying, "When I was young, I even said I would marry my brother," and honestly shared that he still likes him very much. However, as they became adults and grew busier, they talk less often. "I think we only exchange a word or two a month," he said, drawing laughter.
Although they are not very talkative, their affection for each other remains unchanged. After Seong Bin entered an arts high school and focused on dormitory life and college entrance exam preparation, Sung Joon said, "My parents always told me that Bin was working really hard," and added, "I only realized how much effort he was putting in after seeing his photos." He also revealed that he had sent his younger brother gifts for Children's Day. Seong Bin then said, "Mom and Dad do not say much, but my brother is the only one who supports and encourages me," expressing his gratitude.
In particular, Seong Bin said, "When my brother comes home, he conveys my feelings to Mom and Dad for me," and added, "He understands my position because he went through a similar period himself." Sung Joon replied, "I may not have much authority in the family, but I try to side with my younger sibling," offering a glimpse of the siblings' deep affection.
Sung Dong-il also could not hide his emotion over his children's growth. He said, "I used to think all the kids were inside my nest, but before I knew it, they were each living their own lives." He added, "Still, when I see the three siblings caring for and looking after one another, that feels like our greatest asset."
Meanwhile, Sung Dong-il, Sung Joon, and Seong Bin gained popularity after appearing on the Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) variety show "Dad! Where Are We Going?"
