Popular Idol Finally Opens Up About His Personal Life And Son

Recently, TVXQ’s Changmin shared a glimpse into his daily life with his five-year-old son, who looks quite a bit like him.

Changmin, who appeared as a special MC on SBS’s My Little Old Boy, gave an update on his life, stating, “My child is five years old now. It’s challenging, but he is so beautiful and loving.”

He also shared a cute anecdote about his son.

A staff member from the company happened to see my son on the street, and although they had never met my son before, they reached out to my manager and said, ‘I think I saw Changmin’s son’.

Changmin also admitted that his son really did look like him.

He also shared that he was teaching his son that although his real name is Shim Chang Min, he goes by Max Changmin for work.

I keep letting him know that I go by the name of Max Changmin when I’m working. I’m not sure if he’s fully grasped that, but apparently, once he told his teacher, ‘Could you please play ‘Maniac’ by Max Changmin?’ I didn’t think that he’d go around showing off, but it turns out he does have that side to him.

Seeing this, fans were happy to see him finally sharing more about his personal life and fatherhood.
