GOT7’s Youngjae Breaks Down In Tears On Radio Show After Hearing His Dad’s Voice
GOT7‘s Youngjae got emotional during a recent live broadcast after receiving a voice message from his father.
On Thursday, March 5, solo artist WOODZ guested on DJ Youngjae’s MBC FM4U‘s radio program Best Friend (also known as Close Friend).
During the episode, Youngjae also received voice messages from listeners, one of which he immediately recognized by their voice.
Dear ‘GOT7 Youngjae’s Best Friend!’ Hi Youngjae. I heard you want a gift for Children’s Day, is that right?
— Youngjae’s dad
May 5 is also recognized as Children’s Day in South Korea. So, Youngjae’s father sent a voice message, promising to send him a gift of a “seal.”
I heard you want a gift for Children’s Day, is that right? Well, here you go! It’s your seal toy. I’ve been keeping it in my heart, but I’m sending it to you now.
— Youngjae’s dad
Youngjae’s dad concluded the message with encouragement for the radio program. And clearly, Youngjae was struggling not to get emotional after hearing from his father.
I love Youngjae’s Best Friend forever! Hwaiting!
— Youngjae’s dad
It was such a touching moment that Youngjae couldn’t help but cry. The staff even went to check on him.

After the message, Youngjae greeted the listeners. He then went on to explain the context behind the “seal” that his dad had referenced. It was actually his favorite stuffed animal growing up!
You’re listening to GOT7 Youngjae’s Best Friend. That was my father’s voice. And I understood what he meant right away, too. The seal he’s talking about—I used to have a stuffed seal toy that I was really attached to when I was a kid. It was my favorite toy, and I honestly think I carried it around until I went on to middle school. So yeah, that’s what he’s talking about. And at one point, the seal toy lost its eye, and I kept asking my parents to replace the eye part.

Youngjae continued to get choked up while talking about the memories and his parents. And, like the good son he is, he promised in return to visit them!
Anyway… Thanks, dad. I was kidding earlier, but… I miss you, mom and dad, so much. I’ll visit you soon when I’m not as busy. I love you.
— Youngjae
Previously, Youngjae had teasingly messaged his parents, requesting a gift! His dad initially replied with a “heart,” and his mom replied, “what present.”
We can’t help but tear up too! We know Youngjae’s parents must be so proud of him.
