'working mom Lee Hyun-yi,' mother of two sons, Lee Hyun-yi made a big decision and changed the house layout for her sons.
On the 4th, Lee Hyun-yi's YouTube channel released a video titled 'Turning the living room into a study room?! A son who only answers but doesn't do it, why is this? Son expert Choi Min-jun's full visit inspection.' That day Lee Hyun-yi revealed a modern yet somewhat maximalist home, and behind her the changed living room could be seen.
Lee Hyun-yi said, "After I turned on the camera today, I changed the living room. There used to be a sofa and a mirror, but it became a living room study," and "Since the younger son Young-seo entered elementary school, decorating his room like the older son Yoon-seo was a bit awkward, and Yoon-seo kept slamming and closing his door so I don't know what he does in there," she said, describing changes in her son who is now in fifth grade. The son, who was a hot topic on social media for looking very much like Lee Hyun-yi and Hong Seong-gi when he was born and for his very cute appearance, has now reached the threshold of adolescence.
Lee Hyun-yi said, "If I suddenly open the door there might be comic books under Yoon-seo's workbooks or he clings to them, and I can't keep opening the door and watching that, so I took them out," saying she turned the living room entirely into a study room for the brothers. But because the brothers would laugh just by being next to each other, she installed partition screens. The younger son told her, "Hyung threw a note," and Lee Hyun-yi let out an awkward laugh saying, "I didn't know it got to this point."
Lee Hyun-yi also said she removed a room entirely and turned the older son's room into a bedroom for the two sons. The younger son, who was accepted to a private elementary school this time, will attend the same school as the older son; when she saw a photo with the school uniform, it was one of the well-known private elementary schools in Seoul.
Lee Hyun-yi said, "Because Yoon-seo goes to a private school and wakes up early, Young-seo also wakes up early. It turned out the brothers happen to go to the same school. So they can get up together, so we combined the bedrooms," and "We combined the bedrooms. This is a big decision," saying she was relieved. However, not satisfied with herself, she invited son researcher Director Choi Min-jun to ask him questions about it.
Director Choi Min-jun said, "This is a space I want to highly recommend. Beyond improving grades, it raises a sense of belonging. It raises the sense of belonging of the four," and "There are also worrisome parts. Downward leveling. Adults need to provide upward leveling. Adults should read books behind them all the time," advising that instead of the family doing it together, parents should lead by example and act more exemplary.
Lee Hyun-yi also worried about the temperament of the younger child. The older son Yoon-seo has an artistic temperament and a slightly free-spirited feel like Lee Hyun-yi, but the younger son Young-seo was not like that at all.
Lee Hyun-yi said, "He falls asleep at 9 p.m., but yesterday my father, because he finds the youngest cute, hugged and doted on him and it passed 9 p.m., and the child got tearful," expressing regret about her younger son who struggles with deviating from set routines.
Director Choi Min-jun said, "A person who is rule-bound has inner anxiety. Because all such behavior is an attempt to resolve anxiety, it cannot be seen as entirely bad. It becomes a social problem when they force it on others," and said, "Parents find it more difficult when they see a child with a temperament different from their own. In the case of the younger son, it's important not to force rules immediately but to forewarn him the day before that this might happen and let him adapt."
