In the entertainment industry, there have been ongoing cases of showing filial piety by giving special gifts to parents.

This house, revealed through KBS 2TV’s ″New Product Launch, Pantry Restaurant,″ includes a home elevator and sauna for the parents. KIM JAEJOONG stated, ″When I was young, our home was happy and full of love, but financially it was not like that. So I had the desire that when I grew up, my parents’ house would be big and nice.″ He also shared scenes of preparing health food and cleaning the house for his father’s health. Singer Park Seo Jin also gave various gifts to his parents. On KBS 2TV’s ″Problematic Men in the Rooftop Room,″ he mentioned dropping out of high school and helping his parents by working on a boat. After succeeding as a singer, he provided his parents with a three-story detached house and a dried seafood store. Recently, he also built a new house for them in an area with convenient facilities such as a hospital, supermarket, and police station. One broadcast showed him gifting couple shoes to his parents and helping them wear the shoes himself. TWICE’s Tzuyu purchased a penthouse located in the Wungangxin Art Museum building in Gushan District, Kaohsiung City, in 2023 for about 100 million yuan (approximately 4.1 billion won) and gifted it to her mother. This penthouse is known as the most expensive property in the area, and Tzuyu chose a location across from her mother’s workplace for convenience. The 33-story building features top-class facilities such as a swimming pool and spa room. Singer YENA revealed that she gifted a house in Yangpyeong to her parents, who stayed by her side to help her overcome childhood cancer since she was five years old. On JTBC’s ″Knowing Bros,″ she said she bought the house for her parents after settling her earnings from her singing career, adding, ″What I do for my parents is the most important and makes me happy. I was very sick when I was young, and my parents had a hard time too. Growing up watching that is the real reason I had to succeed and repay them.″ On the YouTube channel ″Funny Things Are Uploaded,″ in the segment ″Eat Breakfast and Go,″ she shared stories about her parents marrying late and missing their honeymoon, the house getting smaller as she grew up, and the financial difficulties caused by childhood cancer. Actor Nam Yoon-su donated a kidney to his father instead of giving material gifts. After his father was diagnosed with end-stage renal failure in 2024, Nam Yoon-su underwent a kidney transplant and appeared on ″New Product Launch, Pantry Restaurant,″ saying, ″It wasn’t something I forced myself to do; it was natural, so the term ’national filial son’ feels burdensome. I’m just grateful.″ Nam Yoon-su added, ″I hesitate when buying things for myself, but when it comes to my parents or brothers, I don’t hesitate at all. I want my dad to get healthy, and I want to do everything I want for my family.″
