Actor Ki Tae-young Balances Parenting and Business: A Heartfelt Journey

Actor Ki Tae-young has opened up about his decision to juggle parenting and business.

On the 10th, the YouTube channel 'A-Class Jang Young-ran' released a candid video featuring the couple, actress Eugene and Ki Tae-young.

In the video, Ki Tae-young shared, "I can't entrust my kids to someone else. I changed my plans to work when the kids are asleep or at kindergarten, which led me to start my own business." He continued, "During the COVID-19 period, I had to be with the kids for a year and a half. I averaged 3-4 hours of sleep over the past eight years," expressing the challenges of balancing parenting and business.

Ki Tae-young also expressed his love for his family, saying, "I always enjoy being with my family. They are the most precious." Eugene added, "My husband is selfless. He exercises diligently for the sake of our family’s health, even though he dislikes it. It's not easy to work with peace of mind while leaving the kids, but I was really comfortable," expressing her gratitude.

Ki Tae-young further stated, "My top priority in life is not work, but the happiness of my family and life." Eugene echoed this sentiment, saying, "Our family's happiness is the most important. If work overlaps, we decided that one of us would act. If Ki Tae-young gets an acting offer, he will take it," showing her support for his acting career.

Meanwhile, Eugene and Ki Tae-young married in 2011 and have two daughters, Rohee and Lorin.
