Hyun Young Shares Heartfelt Request from Her Swimmer Daughter on 'Dongchimi'
On the recent episode of MBN's variety show 'Dongchimi', aired on the 25th, broadcaster Hyun Young shared a touching request from her daughter, who is a swimmer.

The episode, themed 'A Well-Raised Daughter is Better Than Ten Sons', featured various stories, including Hyun Young's. She introduced her children, saying, “My first child is 14 years old, and the second is 9.” She proudly mentioned her daughter, who is actively involved in swimming.

Hyun Young expressed her gratitude, saying, “Thankfully, my daughter has been selected as the representative swimmer for Incheon for three consecutive years.” She then recounted an incident from a recent competition.

“When the athletes stand on their lanes and are introduced, supporters cheer them on with shouts like 'Fighting!' When it's my daughter's turn and people shout 'Choi Da-eun, fighting!', it causes a stir,” she explained.

Hyun Young also shared her daughter's reaction to the cheering. “She told me that while she's on the diving board, trying to focus and control her mind, hearing my voice breaks her concentration. She asked me not to cheer,” Hyun Young added.

The conversation naturally shifted to anecdotes about Hyun Young's distinctive voice. She humorously recalled her experience recording navigation system voices, including a memorable line, “Do you have a lot of money? If not, slow down.”

The episode also featured actress Choi Jung-yoon, who opened up about her remarriage.

Choi explained her decision to go public, saying, “I run a personal channel and had the single mom label. It became a hindrance while filming daily life content. I felt that people might accuse me of lying later. I kept getting offers for single-themed shows.”

She added that her daughter influenced her decision to reveal her remarriage. “My daughter wanted it, so I disclosed it,” she said, explaining the background of her announcement. The cast members agreed that going public could reduce misunderstandings.

Meanwhile, Hyun Young married a finance professional in 2012 and has a son and a daughter. She continues to work in various fields, including broadcasting and film. In 2020, she garnered attention by revealing her life as a CEO with an annual revenue of approximately 8 billion won on TV Chosun's 'Perfect Life'.

Her children are reportedly attending Chadwick International School in Songdo, Incheon. The school offers a complete curriculum from kindergarten to high school, with total tuition fees reaching around 600 million won per student.
