Kim Jaejoong’s close bond with his sisters brought heartfelt moments to KBS 2TV’s New Release, Pyeonstorang on January 24, as his older sisters opened up about their pain and love for their youngest sibling.
Jaejoong, who grew up with eight older sisters, returned to his family home in the episode, where his warm and lively family dynamic was on full display. While spending time with his mother and eldest sister, his fourth and fifth sisters surprised him with their arrival, bursting with energy and calling out his name.
The two sisters, known for their bubbly personalities, immediately showered Jaejoong with hugs and affection. They even fought over him playfully, calling him “Son!”—a nickname they’ve used since they helped raise him like second mothers during his childhood. Their fun banter had the Pyeonstorang cast laughing and curious about their strong connection.
During a heartfelt family meal, the sisters and Jaejoong reminisced about his difficult trainee days. Jaejoong expressed deep gratitude, saying, “I’m so thankful to my first, fourth, and fifth sisters. Without your support back then, I wouldn’t have been able to debut.”
However, the conversation turned emotional as Jaejoong’s fourth sister opened up about her lingering sadness. “I’m still upset,” she admitted. “I helped pay your dorm fees a few times, but I didn’t know how hard things were for you. You didn’t tell me you were struggling so much.”
Jaejoong responded, “I didn’t want to be a burden to my sisters…” But his fourth sister’s voice trembled with emotion as she replied, “That’s what hurts me the most—that you went through all that without telling us.”
His fifth sister also tearfully confessed, “You had eight sisters, but you never called us. Knowing you faced so much on your own broke my heart.”
The heartfelt moment left Jaejoong and his sisters in tears, showing the deep love and unbreakable bond between them. Fans watching the show were moved by their story and the strength of their family’s love for one another.
