O Yun-a, who is 'single,' reveals her daily life as a 'single mom' with her son, Min.
In the 16th episode of the entertainment program 'Single,' which airs today, at 8:30 p.m. on cable channel SBS Plus and E Channel, O Yun-a embarks on a day of 'mom outing' to issue her son Min's resident registration card, as he is about to become an adult.
On this day, O Yun-a noted, "I divorced in 2016 and have been raising my child on my own. If you include the separation period, I have been living as a single for 13 years," and added, "It was really hard to raise a child alone as there were more difficulties than a typical child. Until he was in 5th grade, we were always together. If we weren't together, he would go to where the dads and kids were playing and clung to someone else's dad," she confesses.
A little later, she reveals the solo house where she lives with Min, showcasing a thorough management routine typical of a female actor, which generates admiration. After starting with cleansing powder, O Yun-a applies mist, ampoule, oil, moisturizer, and more, stating, "If I skip (the routine) for just one day, I feel like I am falling apart. I think of it as giving my body nutrition and have been doing it consistently." Meanwhile, MC Shin Dong-yeop remarks, "You have been approached by a 16-year-younger man before," and O Yun-a, blushing, reveals, "After that episode aired, I received a message from the '16-year-younger man,'" surprising everyone.
While interest grows regarding the aftermath between O Yun-a and the '16-year-younger man,' O Yun-a also takes some time for herself while preparing breakfast. She expresses, "If I had to take care of Min completely alone, I wouldn't have been able to raise him as I do now," adding, "Childcare needs to be distributed (with help). A mother needs to be happy for a child to be happy," revealing her parenting philosophy. She demonstrates how, through numerous trials and errors, she practices a 'separate yet together' approach to parenting.
On this day, O Yun-a visits the administrative welfare center to issue Min's resident registration card, as he was born in 2007. O Yun-a shares her hidden worries, saying, "Now I have to take care of Min as an adult, but I feel so unprepared that it scares me. I need to find more ways to raise my son well." She further expresses concern, saying, "He can't even do a thumbprint; I worry about whether he can do it well." There is growing interest in whether O Yun-a and Min will successfully complete the process of getting the resident registration card.
