"Apparently, his grandfather named him Yongbok and his mother cried," added Hong Seok Chun, highlighting the emotional impact of the naming decision.
This revelation creates a sense of empathy and connection with Felix.
My mother originally had a name that came to mind. Yeah, she wanted to give me a trendy name, but my grandfather said he must give me this name. So, apparently, my mom cried for six months.
