'Childcare intern' Lee Kyung-kyu indirectly mentioned Lee Ye-rim's pregnancy and childbirth while caring for children.
On the 14th broadcast of tvN STORY 'Childcare intern,' scenes appeared of Ahn Jung-hwan & Lee Kyung-kyu caring for a 38-month-old first child and 12-month-old triplets. The 38-month-old first child, Ha-sol, delighted Ahn Jung-hwan and Lee Kyung-kyu with her cleverness. In contrast, the 12-month-old triplets Ha-yun, Ha-on and Ha-chan, one day shy of their first birthday, were still very much babies, exhausting the two of them.
Ahn Jung-hwan asked Ha-sol, "How do you tell the siblings apart?" Ha-sol answered, "Ha-yun can stand up, but Ha-on and Ha-chan can't stand up." Lee Kyung-kyu asked, "Who does Ha-sol like best?" Ha-sol tightly hugged Ha-yun and gave him a kiss, then said, "I like Ha-yun best. He's cute and chubby," making the adults laugh heartily.
Ha-sol quickly called the youthful Ahn Jung-hwan "uncle." Lee Kyung-kyu, full of hope, laughed and said, "I'm an uncle, I'm a grandfather." Ha-sol unrelentingly replied, "Grandpa Kyung-kyu," causing laughter. Lee Kyung-kyu accepted it meekly, saying, "Okay, grandpa Kyung-kyu."
Still, Ahn Jung-hwan glared at Lee Kyung-kyu teasingly, saying, "Lee Kyung-kyu only holds the nicest baby." Lee Kyung-kyu, who was cradling the calmest of the triplets, Ha-on, gently retorted, "Ha-on stays still," without sounding resentful.
Kim Poong appeared as an assistant that day. Kim Poong actually raises a 5-year-old son. He wanted to pass on parenting tips, but due to Lee Kyung-kyu and Ahn Jung-hwan's chaotic childcare, he had to start with diaper changes and holding the kids. Kim Poong shared his tip, "Basic bibs get hot in summer and stuffy in winter; kids with atopic dermatitis feel itchy." He also told Lee Kyung-kyu, who was quieting his voice for fear of waking the sleeping children, "When boys wake up they fidget around. Still, I do some childcare. I had a child after turning forty, so childcare is all I have to do," passing on his tip.
Kim Poong encouraged Lee Kyung-kyu, saying, "Still, Lee Kyung-kyu is good at childcare. Enjoying it is more important than talent. He's just clumsy," and Lee Kyung-kyu took it to heart.
Meanwhile, keywords such as late-born children and twilight parenting were mentioned, increasing curiosity about Lee Ye-rim's pregnancy and childbirth. Lee Kyung-kyu asked Kim Poong, "You have a five-year-old son, right? How about having triplets?" and Kim Poong replied incredulously, "So Lee Kyung-kyu would take care of our kids?" Lee Kyung-kyu said, "You realize that in the end all you have left are your children," and Ahn Jung-hwan said, "I heard you're preparing for a late-born child? Working out, quitting alcohol," prompting the caption of the keyword 'twilight parenting' to appear.
Kim Poong asked Lee Kyung-kyu, "Is there any news from Ms. Ye-rim's household?" However, Lee Ye-rim has mentioned being DINK and avoided making a definite comment while appearing on 'Childcare intern.' Lee Kyung-kyu replied, "No!" and, "I did 'Childcare intern' to prepare for twilight parenting, but childcare is more fun than I thought," saying it in a way that would not embarrass his daughter.
