ATEEZ’s San spoke about his father, a former taekwondo school director, on an episode of Salon Drip 2 released October 13. San said his father was strict and taught him manners and how to treat elders.

San recalled visiting his grandparents every day when he was young; they lived a 10-minute walk away. As he grew more interested in spending time with friends, he told his father he wanted to visit his grandparents less often and stay out late with them. San said his father took him to a training hall and told him to kneel and lie facedown, but struck himself rather than San. San said the incident made him reflect on his behavior. He added that his father had never hit him and described him as his role model.
