Shout out to all the wonderful men raising their babies on their own. What a lovely duo

I am also single father of two toddlers. This documentary touches deep

I'm a single father too. I have a daughter who is 2 years old.i'm not that old only 24 but I had an accident when I was in my college... Her mother left me and my family does not allow me anymore... They just keep saying I'm their cursed child. But to me my daughter is my happiness, strength and my inspiration.. her smile wipes out all my sadness... I'm just blessed to have her in my life...pray for us...love you my little angel..

The son is very smart and polite. And they wear matching pajamas, SO CUTE!

I am a daughter raised by a single father. Although I have contact with my mom too but we haven’t physically met for 12 years. I am 19 years old now. When I was Siho’s age I was as that I didn’t have a mom like other kids. I didn’t eat my mother’s tiffin lunches nor my hair was braided by her. My loneliness grew when on parents teachers day, everybody’s mum would be present but mine didn’t appear for so many years. My whole teenage years were gone without her presence. I was jealous of my friends who went to restaurants and on picnics with their family. I asked to myself ”why me”. “ what did i do to be deprived of my both parents love?” And many questions arised. But as I slowly turned 16 then 17 then 18 then 19 i begin to understand that some circumstances in life cannot go your way no matter how hard you try. Some things are out of your control. I began to realize that while my mom was not with me my dad did his absolute best to give me an education and support me in my future endeavors. Now that I am a little older I think of how hard must’ve it been to care and love for two people . As a father and a mother. To go far and beyond to not let their absence make a dark space in your child’s heart. Now as I write this I feel so lucky to have a father like him. Although I missed out on 12 years without my mother, I wouldn’t have it any other way if I could turn the fate. The young woman I am now is strong and brave just like her father who persisted those years without losing hope. I learned the hardships of life and became emotionally matured thanks to my life experience of growing as a single fathers daughter. I am studying to become a surgeon and when I become a surgeon in future. I am gonna look after my dad just like he cared for me all those years ago. To make him feel proud and happy because his dream of seeing me become “someone of my own” rather than just his daughter will be fulfilled. To Siho, in future when you walk on a path, you’ll realize how brave you’ll be because you gained that strength through the hardships your dad has faced to raise you. So Love him and Spend as much time in joy as you can. To even have a person by your side who devoted their life for you and your happiness is a gift. I am a lucky girl to have received mine. ❤ 29:26 this moment reminded of me and my dad. We were exactly like that. We used to watch TV together and I used snuggle and sleep in his arms. How fast the time flies. Today is his birthday and he turned 53. This video gave me a reminder to achieve my goals and pave a way for a better future for both of us. He did his best and is still doing so but now its my turn. To give him a life he describes each time when we take an evening walk. I intend to write a biography book of him and gift him a copy on his 60th birthday. I’m in the beginning phase of writing the manuscript and for now The title I have chosen is “ The sun and his sun flower” or “the sunflower and the sun” his name means sun and i am his precious flower. This is my mission!

That relief when the customer said it was okay if the food was late 😟 it really doesn't hurt to be understanding.

What a good dad. I’ve got mad respect for single parents; I never wanted kids myself, even WITH a partner, and I can’t even imagine how difficult it is doing on your own, the sole person responsible for another helpless human’s wellbeing & happiness. I loved their matching pjs, too. Adorable!

My heart broke when I heard ‘The dad lost his parents at such a young age.' Thankfully, his aunt and uncle took him under their care. All of them are wonderful people. This man is a loving, hardworking dad, waking up at 4:30. I am impressed by his routine to stay in shape. Being single with no kids, I sometimes feel lazy. It's better to have one loving parent than two who don't get along well or horrible parents who don't care for their child. They both have joyful and calm personalities. The son is a ray of sunshine, adorable, and cheerful. As for the mother, I wonder why they got divorced.

As someone who's from Korea, it always really upsets and angers me whenever I hear of relatives mistreating or doing the whole giving-dirty-looks thing with family members who don't fit into the perfect 'standard'. I wish people would just stop giving a $#!+ about the opinions of others and what they think about their families and do the right thing by them. The Dad's aunt getting that treatment for raising her orphaned nephews was appalling, but I have tremendous respect for her and her husband for being strong enough to raise them.

How is this man single? And his absolutely adorable son is an added bonus!

As a 48y old single Dad to 2 kids who are now in college, this brings up past memories. I was a full time dad the last few years and understand the struggles. As a full time parent you wear multiple hats. This guy has a great mindset, gets his personal time in, runs a business, and does a great job taking care of his son! It may seem like long days now but the years go by so fast. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful bond between father and son, the son is so cute, smart and balanced. Good job dad!!!!

He's a better dad than most i've ever met. Doing more than many moms. With dyslexia? Real challenges. Real success. Good moms teach them responsibilities too. That sweet boy has a great parent! His Dad is all he needs.

Doesn’t matter if a child sleeps in a little space and sharing it with his dad and so on -all that matters is the love he gets from a wonderful parent and the feeling and security of being RAISED👍 -this dad did this and much more👍❤

I was a single parent for many years. Even though I am a woman I found that lots of LOVE no matter who is the parent is - is what matters most to a child. Both of my boys said they wished their father had participated more in their lives, but they never missed him because I filled all their time with enough love for both parents that they never felt like they were lacking. Many children go home to houses with two parents who don't even have as much love as you have in your house so that says a lot. Your Son looks well cared for, well adjusted, and so happy. I think you both are doing a great job of loving each other well!!! I am cheering you both on!!!

This definitely touched my heart. My father was a single dad of two, after our mother was murdered, when I was 13 and my brother was 7. That was 32 yrs ago this year. My mother was Korean and her loss is still felt to this day. Single parents are definitely in a category of their own. It's hard. I was there once myself and it's not easy and even more so in cultures where the mother is usually the one that is seen as the one who raises the children, while the father works. To see the love and bond they have for one another fills my heart with much joy and happiness.

Taught a number of kids from broken homes in Korea and they suffer greatly, but their extended families are a real blessing.

Even though he’s a single father he still puts in the time and effort to be with his son which is a wonderful thing way to go dad! You’re doing an amazing job

The father being raised by his aunt and uncle reminds me of myself and my twin brother. Our birth mom was on drugs at the time we were born and she couldn't raise use and our other siblings. So, our great aunt and uncle took me and my twin in as their own while my other great aunt took care of my older twin brothers. We twins are 24 and 25 now and I appreciate all the love and care that they gave us.

siho is just a mini ver of his dad, both of the are so cute. I hope everything goes well for this family of two

I have so much respect for this father's true labor of love.

Anyone without experiencing the same pain cannot understand others. They all have felt the pain of not having parents when they were young. That’s makes big reasons to take responsibility as parents deeply within. Children need loving parents no matter what. And this father is doing so great. Deeply appreciated 💪♥️

After only 2.5 minutes I already adore Siho. He's so cute and hilarious. They have a lovely bond. He'll grow up to be happy and successful.

He is a great dad and his son is a very lovely boy. He does a great job of raising his son! 👍🏻💕

He’s a wonderful and loving dad!

You're doing an excellent job raising him! Not having a mum doesn't make you any less than other kids. Such a wonderful boy. All the best!

I love watching documentaries like this and getting to know people's struggles, but continued to thrive. He is mentally strong. To run a business and raise a son on your own is tough.

they should not feel empty in their life, because their life is filled with love. His a wonderfull dad , and his son is so kind , stay strong together

Single father of two from Australia! Thank you for showing us your life. It’s not easy that is for sure but it is rewarding to see them grow and evolve. Much love. Keep your head up.

Awww he’s raising his boy with so much love and adoration. It’s beautiful to see…..it’s not everyday where a father expresses his love for his son like him..

A father who cares and loving his child gives a very strong with the child’s strong foundation and grows to be a responsible, caring individual. MY SINCERE SALUTE TO ALL SINGLE PARENTS. God bless you all❤

So many women in the world are single parents. This man and other men like him can relate to what single mothers go through. I'm glad to see him doing the best for his kids

Single father's don't get enough praise! But they should, I admire a man that takes care of his children 🙏🏾 Especially a single dad👍👏🌏

The kid is well behaved by looking at dad we know from whom the kid is learning from ❤

No wonder he is an amazing person his aunt set the example. Bless you all.

What a beautiful story. He is an amazing person and Dad. He will be blessed with having a son who loves him dearly.

What a grown mature young man. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 wish nothing but the best for you two.

They both look great and cute wonderful dad I respect coz am also a single mother n I know is not easy to raise a child alone

This dad is amazing! Seeing his son happy with big smile on his face made the whole movie for me! I am speechless.. really inspired

Am nt goona lie this is the first time watching an episode from beginning to d end in this channel 😊 wat a nice father and an understanding son.God bless and protect both of them

You are a beautiful man and a wonderful parent. You have nothing to apologize for. You are teaching your son to be a good man in the best way....by EXAMPLE. All parents struggle in their own ways.....

He has a wonderful and loving bond with his son. It's lovely to see that his son truly knows love. A huge hug to his Dad. :)

This document really touched ,a real warm bond between father son . Hope their story gets more views & the channel supports them

It isn't even easy as a single mum but single fathers are still a novelty in our society, although it is nothing new ppl look different at them. I can only speak for myself but it's not the end of the world growing up with a single patent. Yes sometimes i've missed a father but most of the time growing up i was happy bc i felt the care and love of my mum. I wouldn't be the kind of person i am now without her. And i feel this warm caring love here too. This Dad does his best for his son and himself and can be very proud of it!

From one single parent to another, you are doing a wonderful job. Be proud of yourself that for raising a kind, independent young man. I know in Korea there is more stigma attached to being a single parent but there shouldn’t be as it is very common and nothing to be ashamed of. Continue to be a good influence on your boy and keep your head up.

A caring and loving dad, an awesome lovely cute and handsome young son he has. Well done, this duo has it all, love, friendship but most of all ONE ANOTHER. God Bless happy Duo 💖😍🤗😉

It makes me tear up watching this he is such a great father despite some obstacles ❤

What a beautiful and kind child.❤ Daddy is a loving father, I'm sure he was a good husband. I'm sorry you lost your mother, child

I am a single mother raising my son. U have my utmost respect in ur efforts raising urs. I know it's hard being both parents, but so worth it! 😀🙂

Watching this made me get out of my bed and do laundry😅...I admire this man..my husband and I both work hard but seeing this guy gives me more motivation to take care of our well being if we want to raise a child later on.😊

This man deserves more..he loves his sonw and i hope he will find a person to love him and his son. Family matters, respect to his extended family for their kind hearts. ❤🙏🇦🇺

AWWW the father son matching pjs and walking your son to school. I remember the guilt I feel rasing 3 children by myself. Your doing a great job. Be strong stay healthy for your son . You are so Blessed.

Siho you are so lucky having a father like him because there are so many children live with their parents but not all of them get the attention and love from their parent like you.For Siho father, You did a good job.👍

They’re beautiful. I can’t imagine women not beating down his door to date him. It’s such a happy and peaceful household, any woman would be so blessed to be included. Dad is very handsome!

Im having feeling that this child will become world famous

I love their relationship: father/son and best friends. They are both kind and very handsome.

he is such a good father. Never feel guilt you are a great father

I have so much respect for this man. He seems like an amazing dad and just an overall really good person. His son is really lucky to have such an amazing dad. Not all kids are that lucky.

This reminds me of my own dad. My mother died when I was really young, so my dad was really my only close family. I didn't fully appreciate what he did for me until later in life. He's made so many sacrifices for me and has worked so hard, especially these past few years now that I've headed off to college. Sadly, I don't see him as often as I'd like since I'm out of state for college. I think I'm gonna go call my dad now :)

He is a wonderful father, this truly warmed my heart watching x

What a wonderful father ❤

I hope stories like these about great males in this world can be shared on other platforms not only RU-vid. Big up for all males who are mostly shown as people who are violent. Thanks to RU-vid I now have more appreciation for men who are single and doing their best regardless of the situation they are placed in. As a woman I should say I really admire the dad in this clip and oh ya happy new year and I pray that you are blessed

Salute to all single father, I am a single mother too. It's hard but having a kids is big blessings and a gift in our life. God bless!

I’m a single mom of two and this is so refreshing to see. Here it’s pretty normal to be a single mom, rare to see a single dad.

This is so touching...Siho is quite a mature young boy..his Dad should be proud of him and he is truly doing a wonderful job raising him as a single father...it is evident in the reactions and way that Siho communicates. Not many 10 uear olds are that mature!!! Im so glad i found this channel.... I'm loving these documentaries!!! ❤❤❤

This whole family is amazing with how they sacrificed for each other and look out for each other.

Great Dad and Son. Also, handsome Dad.

A parent is a parent wether a male or female has custody of the child/children. Parenting isn"t and was never easy, the world or the respective govnt should open their minds on the plights of these fathers, in as much as they show support to single mothers too.❤

You are an amazing father, the love you have for your son shows........what a beautiful documentary and grateful that there are men out there who can continue to look after there child or children. I hope you find what you want for you and your son. Stay blessed in all that you both do - from NZ 💜💓

aww their bond is so heartwarming and sweet 🥺… father doing great job raising such a lovely son

This warms my heart. My dad could never do what you are doing. You will be blessed.

Im a single mum . ❤❤❤❤ This is heartwarming

His an amazing father!! I big well done frrr🥺👏🏽

He is such a good father he alone managed everything and raised such a good loving son it’s so heartwarming to see bond between father and son…..may god bless you both

He is such great amazing father that make me to wish for them the best in the future

친절하고 똑똑하고 예의 바른 boy... such an amazing and devoted father as well

15:58, my dad worked in his stone quarry a lot in 2021 . He was rarely home, and we only saw him once every week or two . My mom decided that we should stay with my day a few days a week and live where he works. We couldn't stay for more than 3 days a week, since the water at the land was coming on and off and the container we were sleeping g in was too small to bring so much clothes. I had the best time there seeing my dad work and being with him.

What a good father and son. He’s so adorable

This father & son relationship is so precious. I hope they continue being close as the years pass 🙏🏾❤️

That little boy is adorable!

What a great dad! And they really love each other. It's so nice, that he takes on this huge task with so much love and patience. Your son will turn out to be a really nice human being. He already is. Keep it up. It'll turn out just right.

I don’t understand these unattainable perfect Korean standards! People being mean cuz others don’t fit their ideal … the aunt raising her nephews should be praised not looked down upon! There are also people who will pity Siho but he’s happy and loved, and well taken care of - no need to judge

Good man and doing great job rinsing his son. There’s lots of single mothers but there’s also lots of single fathers. Great job to anyone who works hard to take care of their children/child.

he's like a superdad! may he be blessed always !

I love your content. Thank you for showing us their journeys in life.

Sir, no matter what the circumstances are, you supported and loved your son with all you have and tried to make the best of everything. The dedication you showed tells a lot. Sleeping in a confined space or preparing food etc. These will all be warm memories for him. All will be precious moments to remember. You are a great father and I respect you so much for your hard work... The most important thing I saw in this video is the strong bond you have with your son. Because of this, he will be a strong, poised, and emotionally achieved man. Also he will be equiped with all the skills to mantain his life as an adult without depending on anyone.. This is a treasure....

Their matching Pajamas are so cute

This duo father and son are super happy with each other and I'm happy for them. It's not easy being a single parent. By the way, the seafood meal looks delicious. I like seafood and if I live there, I would order a lot of times from his store. He's strong and doesn't give up easily. His aunt and uncle are also amazing. What a great family support he has in his life through thick and thin👍

Such a sweet father and a lovely smart kid Stay healthy

Im also impressed how neat and organized everything is in a small space. the matching pajamas are cute and they both seem happy and content.

He is a dedicated, loving father. It’s unfortunate that in Korea there is such a stigma on single women with children or divorced women and they can never remarry. That’s why you have so many women abandoning their kids at orphanages. In the U.S divorced couples get together and remarry. It’s called “blended families” and it’s not looked down upon, like it is in Korea. Learn to accept people.

Aww, the young man is so wise!! What a great father he has!

Wow, it's so lovely to see this kind of video. God Bless them.

What an adorable young man! You can definitely tell that he is loved very much. ❤️

What a great father! The bond he and his son have is visible and very heartwarming. God bless them.

The son is an amazing and gorgeous kid ! Takes after his dad. All the best for both of them. It's a day at a time...
