Kim Young-hee, who brought on the controversy over 'child abuse' at 5 months old

Comedian Kim Young-hee, why is she inviting gossip again? Kim Young-hee, who was enjoying a happy married life with her younger husband, suddenly created controversy over 'child abuse'.

Kim Young-hee recently said, "Daughter, it's burdensome. Even if I eat raw food, I think I'll get used to the look in your eyes. It was so burdensome that I did the opposite, but... I bent my head even harder and ended up looking at mommy's mouth. Thanks to that, I didn't make a squeak and pressed it with the roof of my mouth. She posted a photo with the message, “I am growing into a mother who observes table manners while eating.”

He added, "Starting next week, the first stage of baby food mixed with this and that will begin, and it looks like you will be eating red pepper paste, fern, and bean sprouts, and mixing it thoroughly with rice."

In the released photo, Kim Young-hee is eating a meal while holding her daughter in her arms. He even placed a side dish on his daughter's forehead as she looked at him. In particular, he created a somewhat dangerous and unhygienic situation by pressing his forehead with the chopsticks he was using.

Kim Young-hee's daughter is 5 months old. This is the time when the child's social and emotional development begins. By observing the facial expressions of their parents, they recognize familiar people and develop basic cognition and language.

This appears to be dangerous as he committed a 'dangerous act' for his own comedy at an important time for the child. Some netizens saw this and pointed out that it was ‘child abuse’.

‘Child abuse’ refers to physical, mental, or sexual violence or harsh treatment by adults, including guardians, that may harm the child’s health or welfare or impede normal development, and to abandonment or neglect of the child by the child’s guardian.

Of course, it is the parents who care most about their children, but it is also true that putting food on their faces is an unreasonable display. Kim Young-hee, who sparked the controversy, needs to be careful as a 'mother' herself.

Actress Lee Si-young also faced criticism from the public due to a similar controversy. Last spring, Lee Si-young posted a photo from a trip with her son Jeong Yun. The problem was the photo of his son Jeong Yun included in the photos he released. A photo of the back of Jeong Yoon standing naked on the balcony of the hotel was also released. Some netizens who saw this photo left comments asking the child to delete the photo, saying it could make him feel ashamed when he becomes an adult.

Eventually, Lee Si-young became embroiled in a sharing controversy. Sharing refers to parents who post their children's entire daily lives on social media. The sharing controversy continues. This is because there have been cases where children's privacy is violated and personal information is exposed and misused for crimes.

Younghee Kim and Siyoung Lee. The thoughtless actions of the two were enough to become the subject of controversy. They brought it upon themselves to cast unfavorable eyes on two people who share their daily lives resolutely.
