Lee Sangmin grew up without a father figure. Zen is also growing up without one. Letiing them meet and be in each others arm means a lot

baby zen might have heard and see his friends calling and hugging their appa.. so he also want to say it and feel it once 😭😭😭

[@weerfdo2012]

Growing up without fathers is possible but mentally it's exhausting... I was a teen who felt these emotions years back, I had to be strong on places where i wanted to be a kid... I'm grateful for the current life at the same time I'm always wondering what life could hv been if i had a proper father figure when i was a teen... mental regrets, mental exhaustion and longing for a dad will always come after us... I feel sorry for Zen!! Hope he find peace and balance in life...!!! One thing for sure one day when he want to create a family it will be harder for him!! Baby Zen, Stay blessed...!!!

[@lucaslukis8166]

I hope he can be zen father figure forever because family is not just by blood

This episode turned into a Return of Superman episode. 😂 Kidding aside, it was such a heartfelt scene to behold. I've watched every Zen's episode in Return of Superman and he doesn't get easily attached to anyone. But he's comfortable with Sangmin. And Sangmin, I can imagine him being a caring and supportive father. I'm genuinely happy for Sangmin that things around him are becoming so much better and so he can open himself again little by little. ❤

[@aira1863]

It's my first time seeing Zen and Sangmin like this 🥺

[@londonmoscinska]

This one of the sweetest things I have ever seen. I hope they can be father and son. He doesn’t have any kids, nieces or nephews. Zen has no dad, siblings or cousins. It would be great if they lived like father and son❤

[@Tina-wm1rp]

I hope this is not scripted. But it’s too difficult and cheap to coach someone this young. But even if it’s not scripted, it’s still heartbreaking. But every family is unique , who are we to judge. I am sure his mom and grandparents love him more than many traditional families.

[@Peacefullife0000]

Aww... That was a first for the both of them. They both got emotional, even for Zen as little as he is. 😢

[@liaj5724]

I’ve always loved and respected sangmin, everyone makes fun of him but he worked so hard to pay off his debts and he has a good heart. This moment was precious ~

[@adiaCimoune]

Love k-variety shows, but i take them very lightly as i know a lot of moments are staged.. but this.. sincerity through the roof 😭

[@vivi21channel]

Gosh! I dunno why.. i see this in tears.. when Zen called Ah... Pa.. i cried even more...

[@melanirodriguez7687]

Sangmin must've also thought zen is just like him when he was younger too. Both were wanting a father figure to look up to.

[@adobokkeumbap]

god, sangmin lived the craziest life. he rose SO high but dropped rock bottom. i understand why he wanted to spend so much money and live a glorious life before but then life wasn’t kind to him and took it back all over. good thing he’s standing back up again now.

[@dagitabliwanag9057]

I literally cried so much. This made me miss my papa's hug more. I cannot explain how warm a dad's hug can be. I miss him sm.

[@ladebright8901]

Their bond is so real 😊

[@Forbrained]

I cried when watching that. 😢

[@eianean4224]

This made me cry. I don’t even follow along these two humans. But I know Zen only has a mother. Hearing him say “appa” to this man hurts my heart for him. It seems so natural for him to say it, it’s like he’s been wanting to call someone appa. I usually say “this made me cry” but I don’t actually cry, I get emotional, this however made me actually shed several tears. This broke me. The man seemed very touched by it too, maybe he also needed that. I hope they find happiness and get what they both wish for!❤️

[@hagridlemonhead611]

They should just be together. Mom as well. They fit each other. He is resisting

[@juahl]

I think it's Zen's mom that resists. A few years ago, when Sang Min went with Sayauri to visit her parents. They expressed they would like Sang Min as a son in law but because of the debt he still owed, he couldn't really express his feelings. It also seemed Sayuri was not interested in him at all in a romantic way. Sigh!

[@k-talk3980]

This is so overwhelming to watch.Sang Min was feeling so emotional when Zen called him "아빠"...🥺

[@AllyMark-xy8ry]

He needs a father. I wish his mother had thought this through some more before deciding to become a single mother via sperm donation/IVF. Even though she's doing a good job as a parent, she can never fill the gap where his father should be.

[@L4yd33Jaii]

She decided on this procedure very carefully because this was her last chance to have a baby due to her age and health of her reproductive system. She thought it through long and hard even consulting her parents. She didn't have a boyfriend at the time either nor did she want to rush into a fast marriage just to have a child. This was what her doctors recommended to her as the best choice to give birth. She mentioned this during interviews while she was pregnant. It was literally her best and only option at the time.

[@saarinenj1]

Sayuri and Sangmin should meet up often. I mean its just my opinion but if child calls someone dad then they're maybe comfortable around him.

[@lilmamagc]

you have to understand that just because this is a show doesnt mean that this man will volunteer to father a child that isnt his. And Sayuri may not want that. Its all messed up but i blame the mother and sperm banks allowing single people to conceive.selfishness at its finest and the one who has to suffer the rest of their life is the baby

[@camiiecam]

​​@@lilmamagc???? First of all, ur right about it not being Sang Mins responsibility and just cuz a child called someone dad, doesn't mean he's the chosen one or anything. But most importantly, it's completely fine to let single people who have the funds and will to go raise a child, do so. It's not selfish and people can do whatever the hell they want because you can obviously see Zen is cared for and loved. It's not messed up at all.

[@imtiyaznuha4849]

​@camiiecam honestly it's pretty messed up if you really think about it.. considering the child's psychological wellbeing, the environment where they live in (prejudice), the culture and all. hope zen will grow up well tho

I was kinda disappointed & angry at Sayuri when she told Sang Min that Zen is sad bout not having a dad & has been asking about him. She said she doesn't know what to tell him. I'm like girl, you should've thought of an answer & how to explain things to the child as soon as you decide to get pregnant. It's like the most important conversation ever!

The mother of the child decided to get pregnant thru IVF (with a donor w/c explains the mixed features of the baby). The mother decided she wanted to become a single mom. The guy in the video, grew up without a father figure. The mother of the baby and the guy are friends.

[@akosiadaofficialvlog1730]

By the way where's zen dad???

[@lilmamagc]

he was born through a donor sperm

[@DaFroBroforeal]

Somewhere else. His mother decided to get pregnant with a donor. Poor kid.

[@yummymellon4058]

Hence why family have parents both mom and dad. You don't go around just deciding to be a single mom/parent if you are left with choices. This is what the child is missing out. The balanced and role of the other parents. This is also true for divorce partners with kids of which they didn't have balance in child rearing. This is also the reason why the mom was heavily criticised to her decision of becoming a single mom by choice (sperm donation) because zen really is missing out on a father figure.

[@CinCania]

All i got from my "dad" was a memory of him lying on the couch dead asleep when he was supposed to be watching us when we were just mear toddlers. Then he up and left with another woman. He could really just be a sperm donor. Honestly glad I grew up with my mom, and she's still not remarried. I'm grown now and engaged. My father figures came from my uncles. You don't need a dad if they're dead beats. 🤷‍♀️

[@Lemoon27]

You can’t just decide what a family should be like based on your own experience and others because they are all different and valid, Sayuri made her choice for her family, if she had waited maybe it would have happened or not, but she chose this for her and she will do right by Zen as many loving single parents do especially because she wanted him so bad, unlike some parents who don’t care about the kids they have.. She’ll also find a partner if she wants someday but she’s trying at least, unlike some parents like I said. By introducing potential male exemples to Zen whom he can take as exemple of « father figures » and not hiding things from him. He’s growing up fine honestly.

[@shannonclark8313]

A good amount of dads are terrible parents so that’s just bullshit

[@HaeNapr]

What are you talking about they are a lot of father that are awful parents and dont care for there children. You live in 2024 for have a old mindset

[@yummymellon4058]

Was that a choice?! Nope! I was talking choosing just because you can. You can never chose your parent, nor your races not even nationality or the circumstance you're in. But a woman who chose to do a sperm donation surely have every choices that she can. It's a critical opinion from me, but the one thing I wanted to highlight is the balance of parenting role and their importance for the child development, and we all know those thing are true@@CinCania

[@theonly7515]

That poor child suffering at the hands of his wicked mother, every child needs a good father

[@Pixiemaniac]

What the heck are you even talking about . She is a single mother, their is no father figure and she is trying her best to look after her kid. And she is doing a fantastic job . How dare you call her wicked .

[@theonly7515]

@@Pixiemaniac from what I know, she chose to go through the process of having a child on her own, she wanted children but didn't want a man involved thereby preventing her children from having a stable home environment with the influence of a good father

[@xxmidnightmoonglowxx]

@@theonly7515having a father doesn’t mean your home life is stable. I had a father. Stability is not a word I’d use to describe my childhood. She’s caring and loving for her child. To be perfectly honest, that’s the most important thing. Plenty of people get divorced or widowed and they end up raising their kids alone and you wouldn’t suggest their kids will not be cared for. Just because she made a choice that you disagree with, doesn’t mean it’s a bad choice.

[@theonly7515]

@@xxmidnightmoonglowxx that's why I said a GOOD father, taking the time to make the right decision about that man, assessing his actions and his family and making that step. A minor percentage of these men are crazy manipulators and can fool all those around them but most women that end up done wrong by the other men that don't show up or betrayed them tend to be blinded by love, unfortunately. Or they didn't have a father themselves to show them how to respect themselves where men are involved. I've heard so many women talking about changing a man and going for "bad boys" because the nice ones are boring. Or they continue to make excuses for bad behaviour and wicked men prey on that. The solution isn't to revoke a child's right to having a father, these women are selfish and even if their children don't grow up to resent them, they will be negatively affected by their mother's decision to do what zen's mother has done. You can compare natural events that take good fathers away from their children to the selfish desires of certain women. Every parenthood statistic will show you that children without father's already begin life on hard mode and that continues into their adult life. Young girls have to mature many years than those that have fathers which will explain the "strong black woman" trope. Not to mention the staggering 76% of young people and 43% of inmates in custody that are without the presence of a father

[@geisianelopes9008]

​@@theonly7515 no man was around for her to be a mother, I hope no child of yours have to grow with your stupid mentality around

[@lilmamagc]

Shame on his mother. I knew this would happen one day. That baby is going to struggle for the rest of his life looking for a father figure and it will affect the way he grows up. All because mom wanted to have a kid so bad and selfishly only thought of herself. Atleast she should have had a partner or something atleast before having the baby. But to still go out and use a donor and willfully make this child fatherless is disgusting. I really hope the best for zen growing up and I hope his mom will not give up on dating. But the situation she has put herself in might make that hard. And having just an adult male friend that comes around ever so often is not the same as having a father. This poor child.
