Actress Kim Sung-eun shared her concerns about her children's private education.
On the 20th, a video titled "What is Yoonha's honest reaction after the academy fee settlement? We prepared for Yoonha's first independence event...!" was uploaded to the "Happy Kim Sung-eun" channel.
Previously, Kim Sung-eun made headlines by revealing that she spends 3.25 million won a month on her children's academy fees. In this regard, she noted, "There are many articles after the academy fee settlement, right? I thought there would be a lot of bad stories, but it turns out that there are many people who empathize with me and I was grateful to those who said it was good that I was honest. What was impressive was that people seem to do a lot of arts and sports, and they said to take this out, but if we remove this one, it's 100,000 won? In that case, it seems better to just do it. Ultimately, there's nothing to take out."
After that, Kim Sung-eun directly asked her daughter, "Which academy do you find the most fun among the ones you attend?" The daughter replied, "Essay writing," and conversely, named "math academy and English academy" as the most disliked ones.
Kim Sung-eun firmly stated, "It's that she dislikes studying. I'm sorry, but while I can let her quit everything else, she can't stop math and English." She asked why, and he said, "She said the English academy is the hardest. She really dislikes it." The daughter expressed her complaints quickly, saying, "We go too late at night, there's too much homework, it's too hard, and we have to read a lot of books."
Kim Sung-eun said, "Yoonha graduated from an English kindergarten, and I'm sending her to the English academy to maintain that, but I'm worried she might forget everything. Until now, I've invested money in the kindergarten. If we don't do it now, won't she forget? I feel regretful about that. I'm also curious about the senior mothers regarding whether I should boldly cut off the English academy at this time."
Then the daughter said, "You should cut it off," and Kim Sung-eun replied, "I'm also slightly worried as I've heard that some kids end up hating English altogether. There were also many reactions about doing a lot of arts such as piano and violin. However, that is something Yoonha wants to do. She's very interested and is now suddenly participating in some competition in March. I let her do what she wants but don't pressure her. But as she does it, she ends up wanting to do more."
He added, "On the contrary, while reading the comments, I noticed there are people who feel more pressured. They ask why I don't send her swimming. While reading the comments, I felt a lot as well. So, I stopped Jae-ha from doing sports for 2 hours. Jae-ha really likes it, but I feel like I'm investing too much money in that."
Afterward, the daughter repeatedly appealed, "I can't do English." Kim Sung-eun said, "You have to do English. Mom has to interpret for you," but the daughter replied, "I can do it. I won't forget," and said, "Test me."
Kim Sung-eun stated, "But even when Yoonha reads English books, she doesn't know what they mean. Just reading and understanding these is incredible. The kids who do well will be doing even more advanced material," and the daughter expressed her struggles by saying, "Reading is good, but I dislike the quizzes." She particularly pointed out, "Why am I doing violin and reading books, and my mom isn't doing anything?" which evoked laughter.
