[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jeong-ho] The recent status of Kim Ji-yeon from 'The Most Ordinary Family' has been revealed, drawing attention.
On the afternoon of the 27th, JTBC's educational program 'The Most Ordinary Family' aired an episode featuring 1997 Miss Korea Jin and actress Kim Ji-yeon along with her daughter Lee Ga-yoon, sharing their daily lives.
That day, Kim Ji-yeon stated, "It has been 10 years since I stopped acting. I am currently working as a shopping host on home shopping channels, and fortunately, the response has been good, so I have been working a lot in home shopping for 20 years."
She explained, "I mainly sell cosmetics," and added, "Since last year, I have also challenged myself as a one-person YouTube creator. It is very difficult."
Additionally, her daughter Lee Ga-yoon shared her concerns. Ga-yoon said, "My mom doesn't pay attention to me. Other moms are passionately interested in their children's studies, but I feel like my mom doesn't care about me, so I am worried."
Moreover, the mother-daughter conflict reached its peak when Kim Ji-yeon discouraged Ga-yoon from studying as she was about to enter high school.
Kim Ji-yeon told Ga-yoon, who was studying, "Don't study," and "Give up on math."
Furthermore, to Ga-yoon, who became the vice president of the student council, Kim Ji-yeon coldly said, "You shouldn't be the vice president in the third year of middle school," and "Mom can't help you."
Meanwhile, Kim Ji-yeon, who divorced her ex-husband Lee Se-chang in 2013, also talked with Lee Ga-yoon about her boyfriend. When Kim Ji-yeon asked, "How do you feel about mom dating a man?" and "What if I bring a new dad later?" Ga-yoon replied, "I like it. Because mom won't be lonely."
Kim Ji-yeon said, "When I honestly told my daughter about the divorce when she was 8 years old, everyone said I was crazy. I think I wanted to raise my daughter to be a strong child."
Watching their daily lives, Dr. Oh Eun-young said, "It is difficult for a mother to raise a child alone after divorce. I can see mom Kim Ji-yeon's struggling efforts," and offered advice. Moved by Oh Eun-young's comfort and advice, Kim Ji-yeon and Lee Ga-yoon showed tears.
Meanwhile, 'The Most Ordinary Family' airs every Saturday at 7:40 PM.
