Comedian Kim Ji-sun Opens Up About Parenting Challenges and Her Son's Journey to Becoming Rapper SIVAA

Comedian Kim Ji-sun candidly shared her parenting struggles on the recent episode of Channel A's '4-Person Table'. She invited fellow entertainers Jo Hye-ryun, Kim Hyo-jin, and Byun Ki-soo to her home for the show.

Known as a 'celebrity mom of many', Kim Ji-sun is a mother of four and has experienced the challenges of raising children through their teenage years. She revealed that her second son's adolescence was particularly difficult.

Kim recalled a shocking moment when she found the words 'I want to die' written on a wall by her second son. "It was terrifying, especially since we lived on the 9th floor," she said. Her eldest son, however, reassured her by saying, "I went through the same thing, but I didn't express it. He's just expressing himself, don't be alarmed."

Her second son once asked to get his ears pierced when he was in middle school. Kim sought advice from a counselor who suggested allowing it, fearing the consequences of refusal. "He kept asking for more piercings," Kim shared, revealing that her son eventually dropped out of high school.

Kim confided in Sunwoo Yong-yeo, who reassured her, "Kids like that often become the most filial." Kim decided to support her son's passion for music.

Now, her second son is a rapper known as 'SIVAA'. Kim humorously noted, "He loves dogs, hence the name. It's a bit awkward to pronounce." His hip-hop crew's YouTube video has surpassed 8 million views. Kim was moved when her son sent her his first earnings from music, reminiscing about their past struggles.

Kim emphasized the importance of trusting and waiting for children, saying, "You never know what kind of fruit a person will bear. As parents, we just need to believe and wait."
