Singer Sean has directly addressed and clarified rumors about adopting children, which had been circulating among some segments of the public.

In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel on the 24th, titled 'The Youngest Who Gets All of Hye-young's Love... (Adoption Dog Leo)', Sean spoke openly about the adoption-related rumors that had caused misunderstanding.

"My family members have appeared on my channel from time to time, and some people assumed that since I have four children, I must have adopted them," Sean explained. "I think people are confusing me with senior actor Cha In-pyo." He clearly stated, "Our four children were all born to my wife Hye-young."

In this video, Sean also introduced a special new family member for the first time: his pet dog, Leo. "But we have another youngest member. I'll introduce them for the first time," he said, presenting Leo. The video showed Leo peacefully dozing in a dedicated car seat while Sean was driving.

Describing Leo, Sean mentioned, "Leo is an early bird dog but loves to sleep. He always sleeps on mom's lap." He added, "Because Leo is the youngest, he receives special care. He gets focused care and love from my wife." Sean emphasized how loved Leo is by everyone, saying, "Our children also take him to their beds, and then another child takes him shortly after."

Sean debuted in 1997 as part of the hip-hop duo Jinusean and quickly gained popularity. He married actress Jung Hye-young in 2001, and they are blessed with two sons and two daughters. Renowned as an angel of donation in the entertainment industry, Sean is famous for his continuous charitable activities, often through marathon completions.
