Recently, Kim Ji-sun appeared on the channel 'Um Show' to share the news of her adoption and the process of welcoming a new family member, which has garnered significant attention.
Kim Ji-sun revealed the reason behind adopting the puppy, stating, "My daughter is going through puberty and rarely comes out of her room."
She shared her concerns about her middle school daughter and recounted a chance meeting with Shin Dong-yup and his wife, PD Sun Hye-yoon.
Kim Ji-sun said, "I told Shin Dong-yup's wife that my daughter's puberty was too intense and I didn't know what to do. She said she had the best secret and advised me to get a dog, saying, 'If you have a dog, your child will come out of her room.'"
"Our eldest was against getting a dog," she added, "because of allergies and a dislike for animals." Kim Ji-sun persuaded her daughter by promising, "We'll put the dog in a cage if you're around."
This advice from PD Sun Hye-yoon has gained renewed attention following the news of her daughter Ji-hyo's acceptance into Seoul National University's College of Education, Department of Physical Education and Dance. Ji-hyo, an elite ballet major who attended Sunhwa Arts Middle and High School, recently made headlines by being accepted into both Korea National University of Arts and Seoul National University.
PD Sun is known for focusing on 'emotional management' through a pet rather than intense entrance exam strategies, which has drawn significant interest. As the advice from the 'mom who sent her child to Seoul National University' spreads, netizens are reacting with comments like "The secret of the mom who sent her child to Seoul National University is unexpected" and "This is valuable information for parents with teenagers."
