KCM revealed the family history he had kept hidden on "Radio Star."

On the 7th, MBC's entertainment program "Radio Star" featured a special for Parents' Day, with guests including Song Il-kook, Oh Min-ae, Jung Si-ah, and KCM.

That day, KCM, a father of two daughters, revealed the reason for his decision to disclose his daughters. He said, "I wanted to have a wedding with my wife during the COVID-19 situation, but it didn't work out, so we had a family ceremony. However, my wife wanted to have at least a small wedding. So, if we were going to have a wedding, I thought it would be better to disclose the daughters and do it comfortably, and so I did."

Close friends and fans already knew about it. KCM noted, "Honestly, I wasn't hiding anything. I went out publicly with my daughters. In fact, my eldest daughter's friends even came to see my performances, and we went to amusement parks together a lot. Fans also knew but didn't say anything and helped keep it hidden."

Hearing this, Kim Gura said, "Isn't it because people aren’t interested in what an idol does every moment?" KCM agreed, saying, "Not at all," which drew laughter.

When asked if he was worried ahead of the disclosure, KCM responded, "I think my eldest daughter was more worried than I was. Since she's a teenager, I was really worried that she might get hurt, but instead, she was more concerned about me. She said, 'Dad, I’m okay, so just talk comfortably,' and that made me realize how much she had grown, which gave me even more courage."

He added, "I had given up on everything. I couldn’t work. Personally, I was consumed with all sorts of thoughts. At that time, I thought that even if I couldn't work, I had to make sure my family was fed, even if it meant digging in the ground."

Meanwhile, KCM caught attention by confessing the reason he had not revealed his daughters until now. He recalled, "I gave birth while my eldest was in the military. The situation was difficult, and I ultimately lacked the courage."

In particular, he shared, "At that time, I had a lot of debt. I was a new parent, and there were red stickers stuck on everything. I relied on someone I trusted during a hard time, but I was deceived. A series of strange situations came one after another, and it was so bad that, although it sounds foolish, I hesitated to register my marriage because my personal debt could become family debt."

He added, "I am very grateful to my wife. It was hard, but I didn't have the courage to disclose the child under those circumstances. Looking back now, I think I was being the most foolish." When Kim Guk-jin asked, "Now that you’ve revealed it, isn't it no big deal?" KCM responded, "Looking back now, I regret it the most. It's really not a big deal."
