Heartfelt Conversations: Daesung and Friends Discuss Family Life

In the recent episode of the popular YouTube variety show ZIP Daesung (Episode 56), host Daesung invited special guests Gaeko and Choiza from Dynamic Duo, alongside acclaimed singer Gummy, for an engaging discussion called “Sorry, Mom… | Touching Moments with K-pop Veterans.” The mood was light-hearted yet reflective as the group explored themes of marriage and parenthood.

Marriage Promotion: A Light-Hearted Take

During their lively exchange, Daesung humorously remarked, “Actually, today’s special episode isn’t Gummy X Dynamic Duo. It’s a marriage promotion special. A lot of people really encourage marriage.” This playful declaration led him to mention his fellow BIGBANG member, Taeyang, highlighting their long-standing friendship.

This snippet of conversation offered fans a rare insight into Taeyang’s personal life, illustrating how he has shifted focus from his illustrious music career to embrace family responsibilities, particularly as a father to his five-year-old son. Known for his commitment to his craft, Taeyang now applies that same passion towards his role as a devoted parent.

Choiza’s Journey into Fatherhood

Adding to the theme of family, Choiza, who recently wed a non-celebrity in July 2023 and welcomed a new child, shared candid reflections on his marital experience. He expressed joy, stating, “Honestly, being married is really nice. Once you have a child, it feels like a whole new world.”

The Sacrifices of Parenting

Reflecting on the adjustments that come with parenthood, Choiza humorously recounted, “Letting go of things becomes natural. But once you have a child, it’s a much bigger sacrifice and you just do it.” He fondly recalled transforming his personal space: “My room used to be the biggest in the house—I put so much into it, installing a projector to watch movies alone and play games, but now it’s all changed [for my kid].”

A Shift in Public Perception

While fans may eagerly anticipate new music from Taeyang, many appreciate this more relatable side of the K-pop icon. His transition from electrifying performances to being an involved father adds a depth to his persona that resonates with audiences.
