Comedian Kang Jae-jun Shares the Patience and Joys of Exhausting Overnight Parenting While Caring for His Newborn Son

Comedian Kang Jae-joon is feeling the exhaustion of sleepless nights, but his son's presence keeps him motivated.

On the 11th, he shared his parenting journey on social media, stating, "Good morning." Having recently embarked on the challenges of parenting, he has been documenting his daily experiences online. With a humorous spirit, he called out to fellow parenting allies to rally together for a late-night parenting session, revealing the demanding nature of childcare through a tired expression while holding his son.

Despite the fatigue from another night of parenting, Kang kept a light-hearted tone while feeding his son, recounting, "Good morning. 6:20 AM feeding done, burping. 7:10 AM diaper change completed," all while maintaining a dazed expression that elicited chuckles from his followers. Just the day before, he humorously confessed that he was struggling to keep his eyes open in the early hours, noting, "Fellow parenting comrades, it’s tough, isn’t it? I’m up for feeding at 5:09 AM," acknowledging that this phase feels particularly challenging. Yet, he found strength in picturing his child's smiling face, saying, "Let’s keep going!"

Notably, the resemblance between Kang and his son has drawn attention, prompting fellow comedian Lee Eun-hyung to quip about their similar looks without any photo-editing apps, as she shared a shot of them sleeping side by side. This striking similarity added a humorous touch to their parenting journey. Kang Jae-joon married Lee Eun-hyung in 2017, and they welcomed their son on September 6th of the previous month.
