Rain hesitated for a short moment before admitting: “About that… I really have to mention [this].”
He explained that he and Kim watched it together at home, and he even praised her for doing a good job. However, short clips of the episode soon spread online, with only her emotional moment going viral, ending just as she covered her face with her hand and tried to hold back tears.
That was when things started to get a little messy for him.
“I received so many calls asking, ‘Don’t you help out at home?’” Rain recalled.
He added that online comments included criticism such as “Who made Kim Tae-hee cry?” and more scathing remarks like “Is childcare only a woman’s job?”.
Rain said he was hit with a barrage of backlash, joking that he felt “wronged” by the situation.
He then set the record straight, explaining that he does his share of parenting duties, especially school runs, sending both daughters to school in the morning and picking them up in the evening.
However, he also acknowledged that his wife takes on a larger share of childcare, as their daughters tend to look for their mother more often.
