Broadcaster Sayuri conveyed her son Jen's unexpected wish and opened up about realistic parenting concerns.
On the 7th, the MBN variety show 'Sokpulisho Dongchimi' featured a "global husband special," revealing stories of marriage and family from various cultures.
That day Sayuri began by saying, "These days Jen often says he wishes he had a biological older sister or older brother," and told the story. He shared his son's recent interests, saying, "He says he would like an older brother rather than a younger sibling."
She continued, "So I wondered if I should marry a divorced man who has a son, but I found him today," joking as she pointed to Leo, the representative of Ukraine who appeared on the show with her, drawing laughter.
Leo is known to be the father of a son in his third year of high school. At the sudden joke, Leo wittily replied, "Should I give you the wedding ring right now?" which brightened the studio atmosphere.
In 2020, Sayuri gave birth to her son Fujita Jen in Japan through sperm donation while unmarried. Since then she has appeared on KBS2 'The Return of SUPERMAN' and other programs, sharing daily life with her son and gaining the sympathy of many viewers.
After the broadcast, similar experiences were shared online. Internet users responded with empathetic comments such as, "My daughter also asks for a brother; kids at that age must all be like that," "It seems children go through a phase where they want an older brother or sister," "Only children seem to talk about that more," and "Jen is so cute."
Meanwhile, Sayuri continues to share her daily life with her son Jen through various broadcasts and social media, receiving much support for her honest and confident attitude toward life.<
