'Childcare intern' Lee Ye-rim sympathized with Lee Hye-won while struggling with childcare.
On the 23rd episode of tvN STORY 'Childcare Intern', Lee Kyung-kyu's daughter Lee Ye-rim took on full-scale childcare for the first time since she was born.
Ahn Jung-hwan and Lee Kyung-kyu, who were hired to provide childcare for a Canada-Korea international couple living in Daegu, thoroughly skimmed the request form. Although it was a household with two children and a dog, Lee Kyung-kyu showed a strong presence to the dogs who do not know Korean and made them follow him. Ahn Jung-hwan also took care of the children, and soon, true to his roots as a comedian, Lee Kyung-kyu enchanted Ro-win and Ro-bin with a few lines.
Lee Kyung-kyu said, "I've had experience, so I'm fine. I decided to go with love," and smiled generously as he proceeded smoothly. However, the mother requested, "Ro-win likes to eat. It would be good if you make him chew a lot with a healthy diet. You can even give Ro-win bulgogi, and Ro-bin can be given just bibimbap," "Ro-bin attends a children's center class," and "and the dogs do not understand Korean. Please be careful when they climb onto the sofa."
Ro-win, who eats snacks made of beans, worried as the dogs repeatedly stole his snacks, but thanks to Lee Kyung-kyu's quick thinking, he was able to finish eating without having them taken. While catching their breath like that, Lee Kyung-kyu's daughter Lee Ye-rim appeared. Lee Ye-rim said, "I've never held a baby at all. How on earth will my dad take care of a baby?" expressing concern about both herself and her dad.
But Lee Ye-rim showed an incredulous expression when she saw Ro-win saying he preferred her dad. Then Lee Ye-rim said in amazement, "I've never been with a baby for more than 10 minutes. How do you look after a baby?" and Lee Kyung-kyu leisurely advised, "It's not about taking care of them, it's about playing with them."
When Ro-bin suddenly cried while trying to cling to Lee Ye-rim, she was quite flustered and avoided him without even being able to hold him. Seeing that, Ahn Jung-hwan picked up Ro-bin and held him skillfully. Lee Kyung-kyu teased his daughter, "It's war, war. Are you dazed?"
Ahn Jung-hwan asked Lee Ye-rim, "This needs to be done, will you do it?" and Lee Ye-rim said, "I can't do it," adding, "I think we should (plan for children), but I keep putting it off." She also frankly said that she got married fairly early.
As a fellow soccer player, Ahn Jung-hwan empathized with Lee Ye-rim's husband while also thinking of Lee Hye-won and did not spare advice to Lee Ye-rim. Ahn Jung-hwan asked, "Isn't it hard living as the wife of an athlete? You have to adjust to everything," and Lee Ye-rim said, "I am a bit headstrong, but my husband is obsessive about his routine," adding, "Even if I casually ask, 'Was the game like this or that,' he gets very upset," and "This time, since my husband hasn't been a regular starter often, I worry more about that than wins and losses."
Ahn Jung-hwan asked, "How old is your husband this year?" then said, "Retirement is not far. Praise him a lot. When he retires he'll do housework and things like that." Lee Ye-rim worried about Lee Hye-won in return, saying, "Lee Hye-won must have had a hard time." Ahn Jung-hwan delicately said, "Being the wife of an athlete is really hard," expressing understanding for all of them.
