SHINee's Minho visited his father's workplace for the first time and was surprised by a new side of him. On the 3rd, the MBC variety show 'I Live Alone' aired the daily life of SHINee's Minho and his father, Choi Yungyeom, the coach of K-League 2 Yongin FC. On this day, when Minho visited the soccer field, he said, 'I can't really do anything because it's training. He has a dignified presence,' and although he tried to approach, he stopped and watched. There he saw his father guiding the players. After it was revealed that the coach was Minho's father, Park Jihyun said, 'You really resemble him around the eyes.' CODE KUNST explained, 'He looks like Minseok (Minho's brother). He was close to our father and also to the family.' Minho introduced his father, saying, 'My father is Choi Yungyeom, the coach of K-League 2 Yongin FC. He has been a coach for over 20 years. He is the oldest veteran among K-League coaches in South Korea and has overcome various difficulties.' He continued, 'As a son, I have to support my father. I was curious about how he was doing, so I visited the site.' After a brief greeting with his son, the father shouted 'Wait' and 'Step back' during the remaining training, showing fiery charisma that drew attention. Minho seemed unaccustomed to such a side of his father, admitting, 'It's not easy to go to the workplace where my parents work. I have seen many matches, but seeing him at the site was not the father I knew.' He added, 'He had much more charisma, and I saw a different side of my father, so I was quite nervous.' At that time, Kian84 asked, 'Do you have a favorite team?' Minho replied, 'I haven't decided on a favorite team in the K-League. I support the team my father is coaching.' Then, Jeong Hyunmoo joked, 'You were supporting Seoul FC the other day,' making everyone laugh.
