Steven Chia may be one of Singapore’s most recognisable current affairs hosts, but to his son Joshua, he’s mostly just a normal dad with bad dad jokes and a love for fixing things around the house.
Steven reflected on how he adjusted his work life to spend more time with his children, and why Joshua feels proud seeing his dad’s work make an impact beyond their family.

What is it like growing up as Kim Lim’s son? In DNA Ep 9, Kim Lim and her 9-year-old son Kyden sit down for their first-ever interview together and open up about life behind the public image. 


From trying to give her children as normal a childhood as possible, to balancing motherhood with her businesses, Kim reflects on the guilt she carries as a working mum and the values she hopes to pass down to her children. The pair also share funny stories at home, Kyden’s close bond with his grandfather Peter Lim, and why kindness matters more to Kim than academics.

Kim Lim Shares Her Biggest Mum Guilt with Son Kyden

What is it really like growing up as the kid of Singapore football legend Fandi Ahmad?

His kids open up about the pressure of carrying the Fandi name with really big shoes to fill. Iryan shares how he was once dropped from his school football team due to chronic asthma, and how he found his way back to the sport.

Fandi also reflects on the moments that shaped his life — including turning down a chance to sign with Ajax, a decision he still thinks about today. From funny family moments to honest conversations about expectations, this episode looks at the man behind the name, and the family that knows him best.

It's not easy growing up as Fandi Ahmad's kid ft. Fandi Ahmad, Iryan & Iman Fandi 

Lina Ng was a strict “tiger mum” at home, even as she stepped away from acting to raise her children, though it wasn’t entirely her choice. In this episode, she and her son Jeriel reflect on growing up with discipline, boundaries, and being the “bad guy”. 


With many rules growing up, Lina shares how tough it was to balance discipline with love. Over time, their relationship evolved, with more understanding, compromise, and trust. Today, they share a close bond built on mutual respect.
