Actor Kwon Sang-woo has candidly shared his personal family story.

On the latest episode of tvN’s "You Quiz on the Block," aired on the 7th, Kwon Sang-woo appeared as a guest and spoke movingly about his family. Kwon, who married fellow actor Son Tae-young in 2008, is currently living in Korea apart from his family, who reside in New Jersey, USA.

During the show, Kwon revealed that he often watches his wife Son Tae-young’s personal YouTube channel when alone. "I sometimes leave comments that express my sympathy, which is just my personality," he shared. "If there’s something negative said about my family, I directly comment and occasionally delete what I wrote."

He went on, "Because of the time difference, it’s not easy to have phone calls," adding, "I think of my wife's personal channel as our family album. When I miss my kids, I play her videos and hear their voices and see how they’re doing. That really comforts me."

Reflecting on his childhood, Kwon opened up about his approach to parenting. "My father passed away when I was just six months old. My mother raised the two of us under difficult circumstances but gave us a love greater than any parent could," he recalled. "Even though my mother gave us so much love, I think I still had a sense of lack that I wasn’t even aware of. That’s why I’ve always wanted to create a strong, supportive family."

He continued, "When raising my children, I never wanted them to feel the loneliness or emptiness I went through. I’m not sure what it is I want to fill for them, but whether it comes out as nagging or something else, I just want to keep talking to them when we’re together."

In addition, Kwon shared how his children respond to his movies. "When 'Hitman 1' came out, my son was studying in the U.S. so I didn’t know what he was watching," he said. "But one day, he told me he enjoyed 'Hitman' more than 'Extreme Job.' I felt really emotional then. That was his way of expressing love for me, and I was so grateful he said it like that." His words deeply touched the viewers.
