On May 21, Taeyang appeared as a guest on the YouTube channel hosted by Choo Sung-hoon, where the two spent time together exploring Tokyo’s Shin-Okubo district.
During the episode, Choo Sung-hoon casually asked Taeyang about family life, saying, “I heard you’re married and have a child too?”
Taeyang smiled and replied that his son is now five years old. Choo Sung-hoon immediately reacted with admiration, joking: “How can a dad look this cool?”
The conversation soon shifted toward Taeyang’s life as a father.
The BIGBANG member shared that his son has recently become obsessed with airplanes and even dreams of riding one himself someday.
“He really loves airplanes these days,” Taeyang explained. “The older he gets, the more fascinated he becomes.”
The two later visited a toy store together, where Taeyang carefully searched for airplane toys for his son. He admitted that finding the perfect airplane toy was harder than expected and spent time seriously comparing different products.
One touching moment came when Choo Sung-hoon discovered a large airplane toy capable of carrying miniature cars and immediately offered to buy it as a gift.
However, Taeyang’s firm parenting philosophy became clear when staff members suggested purchasing additional toys.
Without hesitation, he responded: “No. If you buy everything for him, he’ll become spoiled.”
His realistic and disciplined approach to parenting quickly drew attention online, with many viewers praising the singer for balancing affection with clear boundaries.
Fans also reacted warmly to seeing Taeyang’s softer family-oriented side, especially since the singer tends to keep his private life relatively low-key.
Taeyang married actress Min Hyo-rin in 2018, and the couple welcomed their son in 2021.
