Ha Won-mi, Choo Shin-soo's wife, recalled that she had no money when she was pregnant with her first son in the USA

Choo Shin-soo and Ha Won-mi recalled the hardships they faced in the early days of their life in the United States.

On KBS 2TV's 'Men Who Do Housework Season 2' (hereinafter referred to as 'Salimnam'), which aired on the 31st of last month, the daily life of Choo Shin-soo's family was revealed. The viewership rating recorded 4.3% nationwide according to Nielsen Korea.

Ha Won-mi, who usually maintains 49 kg, started doing Pilates in the morning. After measuring her weight, Ha Won-mi was surprised to find that she weighed 50.5 kg and regretted, "If you exclude the microphone, it's 49 kg." Ha Won-mi, who showed off her extraordinary Pilates skills and muscles, said, "I've been doing Pilates for 10 years. I started because I thought my husband would need it, but I liked it so much that I became an instructor. I've been working as a freelance instructor for two years since coming to Korea."

After exercising with his two sons, Choo Shin-soo visited Wolmido Amusement Park with his family. Choo Shin-soo was extremely nervous in front of the amusement ride and made everyone laugh by threatening his daughter, who had encouraged her to ride with him, saying, "You tricked me. Don't come home." Afterwards, Choo Shin-soo and Ha Won-mi, who were eating, recalled Choo Shin-soo's minor league days. Ha Won-mi recalled her difficult past, saying, "I had Mu-bin, but I couldn't go for a checkup because the hospital fees in the US were expensive. I was lying in bed and I was in tears." At the time, the ultrasound examination fee was $300 per session, which was said to be about half of Choo Shin-soo's monthly salary.

Choo Shin-soo's children prepared a surprise gift for their parents. Choo Shin-soo and Ha Won-mi ended up shedding tears while reading the first son Mu-bin's letter. Ha Won-mi confessed, "I gave birth to a child in the United States at a young age, and since there was no one around, I relied on Mubin a lot. All three of them are very precious, but I think Moobin is a little more special to me." Lastly, Choo Shin-soo expressed his wish for the final season, saying, “I want to win and leave the field.”
