In a recent interview with the Gyeonggi Ilbo, Kwon Oh-joong revealed the recent status of his son with a rare disease and a hiatus of the past four years.
He took four to five years off from 2020. Since the end of last year, I have been working hard in the office"The coronavirus has made the family difficult. It's hard to live as a celebrity spouse. My wife is a healthy and future-oriented person, but my family has struggled with it. I stopped drinking, which I liked, and let's go all-in to my family, and now my family is very harmonious.
The son who suffers from a rare disease is currently studying as an aspiring actor. Kwon Oh-joong joined an agency where his son had sick friends who dreamed of becoming an actor while learning acting. Son has acting DNA. I like being in front of others. I also like it because I took a lot of people to the set when I was young. I posted what I tried to take on YouTube. Isn't it good for you if you do it. When I take pictures of my son, I become a scary senior or director. That's why my son doesn't like me taking pictures."
Asked about his ultimate goal in life, Kwon Oh-joong said, `My son has no cure yet. There is no cure because it is an extremely rare disease with only a few people in the world. I want a cure before I die"If you want to be an actor, I want to be an actor who can give you the idea that it's comfortable if actor Kwon Oh-joong plays until you get really old," he said.

Kwon Oh-joong applied to various places in response to his son's desire to go to college, but he failed, and his wife applied to a school with a disability screening and passed immediately" he said.
There were also words to send his son to work after graduating from college, but Kwon Oh-joong "Even if he is physically uncomfortable, he works if he does not have an intellectual disability. Even if you're not feeling well. I can do it even if I have an intellectual problem, but my child has both. Intellectual, delay"I'm interested in painting and acting. Someone told me that there was a place that taught me acting, so I contacted him and my son began to learn acting,' he said to the actor Park Young-kyu's agency.
