During his appearance on MBC's 'Point of Omniscient Interfere' (JeonChamsi), singer Sean revealed a surprising confession: he once secretly participated in marathons without his wife, Jung Hye-young, knowing.

Known for his daily fitness regimen, dedication to raising his four children, and extensive charitable work, Sean is often seen as an exemplary figure. When asked by Hong Hyun-hee if he would donate his appearance fee, Sean stated, "I will ask Jung Hye-young first about that." He emphasized that all donations are made after consulting with his wife.

However, when questioned about donating to marathons, Sean admitted to a secret. He shared, "There was a time when I participated in marathons secretly." He explained that despite suffering from Achilles tendon inflammation, he would often run marathons, sometimes up to three times a week, including half-marathons and 10k races. He confessed, "I told them I was going to buy bread, then went to run," adding, "Because I felt sorry, I did more housework afterwards."

Sean debuted in 1997 as part of the hip-hop duo Jinusean, leaving a significant mark on the Korean music scene. Beyond his musical talent, he is widely recognized as a "donation angel" in the entertainment industry for his consistent charitable acts. Sean married actress Jung Hye-young in 2004, and they are blessed with two sons and two daughters, enjoying a happy family life.
