Broadcaster Lee Ji Hyun, formerly of the group Jewelry, has expressed a firm stance regarding the public's interest in the entertainment debut of her 13-year-old daughter, Seo-yun. In a video released on the YouTube channel ‘Real-Life Mode Queen Ji-hyun’ on the 19th, Lee Ji Hyun flatly rejected the production team's suggestion to debut her daughter as an actress while praising her daughter's beauty. Lee Ji Hyun repeatedly emphasized, “No, no. She has to study,” making her educational philosophy of prioritizing her daughter's academics clear.

The production team attempted to counter by mentioning Lee Ji Hyun's past history of secretly participating in singer auditions, but Lee Ji Hyun did not bend her will. In the video, Lee Ji Hyun showed the side of a mother worrying about her daughter, who fell asleep after filming without even eating properly due to fatigue. Lee Ji Hyun also expressed her regret, saying she prepared nutritious grilled Spanish mackerel for her daughter, but the daughter fell asleep without even touching it.

Furthermore, Lee Ji Hyun gained sympathy from viewers by sharing the realistic parenting struggles of raising two children. When her son asked her over the phone to order tteokbokki, she readily accepted, but she drew laughter by lamenting, “He always asks to order tteokbokki when Mom isn't around,” and “My entire salary goes toward delivery food costs. There is really nothing left.” According to media reports, Lee Ji Hyun, who was a star on stage during her Jewelry activities, is now continuing an ordinary yet intense daily life as a mother of two.

As daughter Seo-yun's beauty becomes a hot topic online, public curiosity regarding the possibility of her entertainment debut is growing, but Lee Ji Hyun wants her daughter to focus on her studies, separate from her own past experiences. This video drew attention by showing Lee Ji Hyun's current status, focusing on realistic parenting after leaving behind a glamorous entertainment life, as well as her firm convictions as a mother worrying about her children's future.
