On 'Radio Star', actor Ryu Jin conveyed the recent status of his grown sons. Recently aired MBC variety show 'Radio Star' featured Ryu Jin, Ki Taeyong, Lucky, and Song Habin, broadcasted as a special 'Papa GO! ALL Daddy PROJECT'. On this day, Ryu Jin, who said it was his first appearance on 'Radio Star', confessed, 'As I get older, I am becoming lonelier. The era of overpowering is over.' When asked about his two sons' recent status, he said, 'They are about my height. My eldest son, who entered university, is 187cm, and my second son in middle school is 182cm. I am also 187cm,' proudly boasting about his excellent genes. In response to the reaction that only the second son might have entered puberty, Ryu Jin said, 'Both are in puberty. It’s lasting too long. I thought it would pass quickly, but it keeps dragging on. I can’t see the end.' He lamented, 'They don’t want to talk to me, and I try to make them laugh to get along, but I end up being labeled as the 'childish dad',' inducing laughter. Meanwhile, Ryu Jin sighed about his changed popularity, saying, 'Before, when I searched for articles, only I would come up. But now, with ITZY's Ryujin starting activities, even if my article comes up, it drops in ranking within 20 minutes.' He added, 'I searched for 'actor Ryu Jin', but now that ITZY's Ryujin is also acting, I can’t even come up when searching for 'actor Ryu Jin'.' On the other hand, Ryu Jin expressed sadness that comments on his channel are mostly about his children, but noted, 'There are many comments saying they resemble someone,' mentioning BTS's Jin and V, and TWS's Dohun as lookalikes of his two sons. The two sons, boasting refreshing appearances, resembled Ryu Jin in his youth. MC Kim Gura remarked, 'They are handsome,' and expressed admiration, saying, 'Their poses are very celebrity-like.' He asked, 'Aren’t the kids interested in the entertainment industry?' Ryu Jin replied, 'They can’t not be interested,' revealing that his eldest son, who entered university this year, is studying at Berklee College of Music, focusing on music industry leadership rather than instruments or vocals. He also shared about his eldest son’s composition skills, saying, 'One night, I opened the door because I was awake, and he was composing. It was quite a beat.'
