Singer and musical actor Lee Ji-hoon's wife Ayane's "no-salt controversy" was settled for now with Lee Ji-hoon's apology.
On the 9th, Lee Ji-hoon posted daily photos of his daughter Ru-hee on his personal social media.
In relation to this, he self-evaluated, "After Children's Day and until Parents' Day. The first days Ru-hee experiences since being born are new. They will soon become memories again, but each day is always happy and joyful because of you. I love you, Ru-hee. My face is gradually looking like when I was young."
At the same time, Lee Ji-hoon added, "Our Ru-hee is no-salt (does not even have seasoning). Sorry for being so particular." Earlier, this was Lee Ji-hoon speaking on behalf of his wife Ayane, who had drawn attention over Ru-hee's childcare policy.
Ayane recently mentioned on her personal social media that she found a children's candy wrapper in Ru-hee's daycare bag and complained, "It was a little shocking. Ru-hee is still a baby who has no seasoning, so she only eats puffed rice snacks and I didn't give her vitamin candies. But yesterday I found a candy wrapper in the non-woven fabric bag she brought from daycare."
In response, criticism that she was "being fussy" followed, but Ayane rebutted, "Originally the WHO recommends no seasoning for children under 24 months. It's not like we're asking the daycare to make only our child no-salt, so is it such a funny thing that we try our best to keep it at home?"
Despite that, criticism toward Ayane continued. In particular, remarks that seemed to forcibly impose a unilateral personal childcare value on the time children were entrusted to public childcare facilities like daycare centers even drew criticism calling her a 'troublemaker.'
Eventually Ayane stepped back, saying, "I have never practically forced my standards on others. I just posted because I was a little upset." Lee Ji-hoon also apologized on top of that.
Lee Ji-hoon and Ayane, who overcame a 14-year age gap and married in 2021, welcomed their first daughter Ru-hee in 2024 and recently received congratulations after becoming pregnant with their second child through in vitro fertilization following two prior miscarriages.
However, beyond the joyful news of marriage, childbirth and pregnancy, debates have arisen that they excessively flaunted the first child's lavish first birthday party or parenting daily life. Accumulated criticism appears to have erupted once more with Ayane's "no-salt controversy" remark. <
