[TV Daily reporter Lee Gi-eun] Minho's father cut an imposing figure as a soccer coach.

On the night of April 3, MBC's reality series I Live Alone aired an episode that offered a rare look at the daily life of SHINee member Minho's father, veteran coach Choi Yoon-gyeom.

Choi, a former professional player, helped develop talents such as Lee Eul-yong and now coaches Lee's son, Lee Seung-jun.

Minho arrived with a coffee truck and boxes of fruit for his father's team. Players and staff greeted him warmly, and Choi couldn't hide his smile as he stood in front of the treats his son had arranged.

Minho admitted, \"When I told my father I wanted to become a soccer player, he was strongly opposed. He wasn't against me becoming an idol, though.\"
