The phrase “drag in one’s dad” originated from an incident in 2011, when a young man killed a student and injured another. He had threatened her afterward, and also dragged his dad into the situation, bragging about how important his father was. This approach only accelerated his imprisonment and cost his dad his position. The incident disgraced the father's name more than his son's. The expression "drag in one's dad" was later used to describe putting someone else in trouble or a difficult situation.
