Korean announcer Um Ji-in, known as a 'goose mom,' was moved to tears due to her longing for her children.

On the October 20th episode of KBS1TV's 'Morning Yard,' a special segment titled 'Problem Solvers for 50 Million People' featured comedians Kim Young-hee and Jung Beom-kyun listening to audience stories. One particular story brought a somber mood to the studio.

The story was a heartfelt confession: "I'm in Korea alone for work, and I miss my children so much." The person behind this confession was none other than Um Ji-in.

Kim Young-hee immediately acknowledged, "There are goose dads and moms, and here we have announcer Um Ji-in." When Um Ji-in expressed, "I miss my kids so much," Kim Young-hee noted, "Tears are already welling up," as Um Ji-in's eyes quickly turned red.

Um Ji-in revealed that she is currently living as a 'goose mom.' She added, "My husband is in Japan with the kids. He's taking care of them and doing a great job."

Hearing this, Kim Young-hee lightened the mood by saying, "Then you're not a goose mom, but a seagull mom. You can go to Japan after this. Make time to visit. You can go without a suitcase," prompting laughter from Um Ji-in despite her tears.
