Actor Kim Ga-yeon and professional poker player Lim Yo-hwan launched a joint YouTube channel titled “Kim Ga-yeon and Lim Yo-hwan’s Game Couple,” according to a first full video uploaded on August 21, 2026. The premiere episode features the couple and their two daughters heading out for a family photo shoot, alongside a surprise appearance by former professional gamer and television personality Hong Jin-ho.
Family Life and Hong Jin-ho’s Guest Appearance
During the outing, Kim struck up a conversation with Hong Jin-ho about his infant daughter, asking about the child’s age and praising Hong’s parenting efforts. According to Hong, he received an urgent call from his daughter’s daycare stating she exhibited symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease, prompting him to take her directly to the hospital.
The exchange drew confusion from Lim Yo-hwan, who interrupted to ask, “What is hand, foot, and mouth?” Kim corrected him with a laugh, explaining that the common childhood illness causes blisters on the hands and feet. Hong added that the condition frequently affects infants and toddlers.
Parenting Dynamics and Household Responsibilities
The video also spotlighted the division of labor within Kim and Lim’s household. Kim stated during the recording that her husband has rarely changed diapers, estimating he has done so fewer than ten times. She remarked that her husband remains unfamiliar with basic infant care tasks, noting that he once attempted to carry their child in a baby carrier incorrectly, nearly constricting the baby’s neck.
Lim pushed back against the claim, arguing that even if he had changed ten diapers, Kim would still assert he had not done enough. Hong weighed in on the domestic debate, suggesting that changing fewer than ten diapers points to a larger issue of parental involvement, while noting that he has largely moved past the baby-carrier stage with his own child.
