At home in Seoul, Chung helps his kids put on their socks before heading to a day-care center, and comforts his crying two-year old after his big sister refuses to share a toy.

Chung appreciates how different this is to the home he grew up in.

"The reason I took childcare leave is I want to be different from my father's generation," he said.
