[Sports Chosun’s Lee Ge-eun] Actor Kim Seung-hyun’s family had a debate over changing their YouTube channel name.
On the 26th, the ‘Gwangsan Kim Family’ channel released a video titled “Selling the Channel New.”
During a meal, Kim Seung-hyun’s father suggested, “Now that Riyeon is born, let’s change the YouTube channel name to ‘Gwangsan Kim Family’.” Jang Jeong-yoon responded with resistance, asking if he meant to drop ‘Kim Seung-hyun’ from the name. Kim Seung-hyun’s mother also preferred ‘Kim Seung-hyun Family.’
Kim Seung-hyun expressed that although he’s the main figure, he’s not very prominent, and wished for a name change. Jang Jeong-yoon said, “So you felt burdened.” As opinions diverged, the father proposed a majority decision, which resulted in a 3:2 vote in favor of the father’s suggestion, thus changing the channel name to ‘Gwangsan Kim Family.’
Kim Seung-hyun’s father concluded, “In democracy, majority rules. Since it’s decided by 3:2, let’s not argue further.” Jang Jeong-yoon suggested considering the thoughts of Riyeon and Subin, but the father insisted, “Just do as I said!” to which Jang Jeong-yoon jokingly and earnestly replied, “You’re being quite authoritative.”
Towards the end of the video, Jang Jeong-yoon announced, “We’ve decided to change the channel name. My husband had been calling it ‘Gwangsan Kim Family’ on his own. He must have felt embarrassed due to his limited role.” She confirmed the channel name change from ‘Kim Seung-hyun Family’ to ‘Gwangsan Kim Family.’
Meanwhile, Kim Seung-hyun remarried Jang Jeong-yoon, a former TV writer, in 2020 after previously raising his daughter alone. They have since had a second daughter together.
