Model Lee Hyun-yi fully denied allegations of favoritism regarding her two sons attending the same school.
On the 23rd, a video titled "The story that almost made me cry because of my son nearing puberty..?" was released on Lee Hyun-yi's YouTube channel "Working mom Lee Hyun-yi."
The video showed model Lee Hyun-yi visiting a restaurant she has frequented for 20 years with her husband Hong Seong-gi and talking about their two sons' private elementary school life and educational philosophy. Hong Seong-gi expressed great satisfaction that both sons were selected to attend the school he also graduated from, and they agreed that the goal-oriented teaching approach of private elementary schools provides opportunities for their two sons, who have different temperaments.
Regarding the recent trend of schools removing field trips or experiential learning, Lee Hyun-yi said, "Parental and teacher consent should all be obtained, but up to now they have been doing them," and about sports days, which are similarly disappearing, she said, "The school near our house holds sports day, but because there are many students they split it into morning and afternoon and parents do not come. I heard the children do it among themselves."
Hong Seong-gi said, "The sons' school has class competitions." Lee Hyun-yi drew a line, saying, "My husband attended the elementary school our sons go to. The father and sons are attending the same elementary school," and "When I tell the younger one he goes to the same school as his older brother, he asks if he got in because his brother went, but there is no sibling admission track at all."
