Mir’s Heartfelt Story About His Father

[haemaki.livejournal.com]

On December 20th, Mir (MBLAQ) shared a very heartfelt and powerful story about his father on his minihompy.


"When I was a sophomore in middle school, my father suddenly quit both smoking and drinking.
Our family was shocked that my father
who began smoking and drinking in middle school quit so suddenly.
I was curious, so I asked him why he quit.
He replied, "I'm old now, so I have to think about my body.."
I did not think much of it and just left it at that.
Then, it was the morning of my field trip in the Autumn semester.
Since morning, I begged my dad for some allowance,
but my dad strangely said that I didn't need any money for a field trip
and packed my fruits and food at home.
At that young, immature age, I was so embarrassed of my father.
That day, my friend came to pick me up,
and he kept bragging that his father gave him a lot of allowance,
so I persistently begged my father for allowance.
However my father never gave me the allowance and kept
packing food in my bag.
I was so embarrassed in front of my friends that I angrily said I didn't need it
and left. Right when I was about to leave, my father took out 5000 won (app. $5) from his pocket and said,
"I couldn't go to Nonghyup (name of a bank) so I couldn't withdraw any money...Have this, at least.."
I thought the allowance was too small, so
I got angry again and didn't take the money and just left the house.
I was so furious that I called my mother and complained.
My mother who was silently listening carefully told me, "Your father's guarantee failed,
so our household is very in a difficult situation..He couldn't even withdraw 100won from Nonghyup,
so he had to borrow money to send you to school."
Only then, I realized the real reason why my dad quit drinking and smoking, why he was not working these days.
Even though I was on a field trip, I ended up crying the entire day.
That was my first as well as my last rebellious childhood.

-----------------------------------------------------------

My father is a very stubborn father.
He always bluntly called me "Ya" "Chul Yong Ah" and "Bang Chul Yong". I probably heard "What do you want to do
when you grow up?" the most.
I heard those words throughout school, but they were very stressful to me. On the day I truly became a singer,
October 15th, 2009, after the debut stage, I called my father.
"Dad, did you see the debut stage?" I asked, and my father said,
"Yes..We're so proud of our son."
It was the first time he had called me "son", and the first time he told me he was proud of me.
Whenever I am struggling, those words still gives me so much strength
I didn't know it when I was with my father while attending school, but now I miss my father so much."

Wow. What a powerful story. I think it is time for all of us, sons and daughters of fathers everywhere, to take a few minutes off the internet, and thank our fathers. I hope Mir will continue to make his father proud!

so real. it's reallly nice imo to hear things like this from idols idk how to explain it other than that.

idols are people, too, you know. i just think it's funny that whenever an idol does something that normal people do everyone just falls over themselves like "omg, how nice, an idol did that."

[a-perfect-shade.livejournal.com]

that was pretty sad. i thought his dad was going to die at the end but i guess it's a real life story. if it wasn't he totally should have killed the dad off at the end, that would have really made the story awesome.

He's definitely the type of kid that parents can never stay mad at because he makes them laugh when they should be yelling at him.
I hope he gets to go home and see his dad soon ♥

The comedian's story about her dad and being poor, as well as Mir's, makes me feel really sad. I've always had a shit relationship with my father but crappy relationship aside, he's always been there to provide for me and I never take the time to tell him how much I appreciate everything he's done.
:(
