On October 5th, the YouTube channel 'Oh Eun-young's Bucket List' released a video titled 'Finally Met. Why Kim Joo-ha is Grateful to Oh Eun-young.' In the video, Kim Joo-ha is seen dining and conversing with psychiatrist Oh Eun-young.

During the conversation, Oh Eun-young introduced Kim Joo-ha as someone who is like a sister to her. Kim Joo-ha reciprocated the sentiment, describing Oh Eun-young as someone who has been a part of half her life, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere.

The highlight of the conversation was Kim Joo-ha sharing the news of her eldest son's college acceptance. Oh Eun-young congratulated her, saying, "Congratulations on your eldest son. That's wonderful news." Kim Joo-ha, with a proud smile, explained, "He spent 10 years playing baseball and faced many setbacks, constantly getting injured and undergoing surgeries, which affected his self-esteem." She added, "But now, for the first time, he has achieved something significant."

Kim Joo-ha expressed her affection for her son, saying, "His setbacks were so overwhelming that his face always seemed dark. But now, after working hard and getting into college, he seems more at ease. It's not just about getting into college; it's about him gaining self-esteem."

Oh Eun-young praised Kim Joo-ha's son, saying, "He's so handsome," to which Kim Joo-ha humorously responded, "Not really, he's not that good-looking," bringing laughter to the conversation. Oh Eun-young playfully advised, "Most mothers are biased towards their children, but you should be a bit more biased too."

Kim Joo-ha also mentioned, "But he's tall, standing at 193cm," which piqued interest. She added, "I enrolled him in a modeling academy as a high-paying part-time job to help with his tuition."

Kim Joo-ha married a businessman in 2004 and had two sons. However, she filed for divorce in 2013 due to her husband's infidelity and habitual violence. Her ex-husband was sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for two years, for assault charges.
