Actress Ji So-yeon Balances Busy Life as a Working Mom and Aspiring Skincare Specialist

Ji So-yeon, wife of Song Jae-hee, has revealed her latest endeavor of pursuing a skincare specialist certification.

On the upcoming episode of TV CHOSUN's 'Perfect Life,' airing at 8 PM on the 4th, actress Ji So-yeon, now a mother of three, will share her hectic life as a working mom.

After giving birth to twins last October, Ji So-yeon starts her day typing away on her laptop. MC Oh Ji-ho speculates, "It looks like she's watching YouTube," while comedian Lee Seong-mi notes, "Her hands are moving too much for just watching YouTube," sparking curiosity about her actions. The studio buzzes with excitement as an article reveals that Ji So-yeon achieved an annual sales milestone of 1 billion KRW and gifted her husband a dream car. Ji So-yeon shares, "I'm working in an advertising agency, juggling work and childcare without a break. I eat and work while the kids are asleep," updating on her life as a businesswoman.

Ji So-yeon surprises everyone by announcing her pursuit of a 'skincare specialist' certification. After finishing household chores, she dons a white gown and glasses, greeting a mannequin with, "Hello, this is Manager Ji from Geumho-dong." When Lee Seong-mi asks why the mannequin is lying down, Ji So-yeon explains, "It's a practice mannequin," adding, "I passed the written exam in a week, but balancing practical exam preparation with childcare is challenging, so I'm practicing at home." She shares her motivation, "Acting or running an advertising agency requires clients and opportunities, but I felt the need for a skill, which led me to this decision," earning admiration.

Ji So-yeon also meets with actress Han Euddeum, discussing future family plans. Ji So-yeon says, "Euddeum, you prepare for your second, and I'll prepare for my fourth," revealing her determination to start IVF treatments again in six months. "I've always faced infertility, but I'm always ready," she asserts, surprising everyone with her resolve for a 'fourth child.' She mentions considering a fourth child after seeing her children grow together, prompting Lee Seong-mi to humorously reference comedian Kim Ji-seon, known as the 'Queen of Many Children,' saying, "Ji-seon, it's time to step down. There's a new contender for the title," bringing laughter to the studio.

Meanwhile, Ji So-yeon recently apologized for posting a video of her trip to Japan ahead of Korea's March 1st Independence Movement Day. She acknowledged, "The video was content from a trip on February 11th, but I failed to consider the significance of the posting date. I sincerely apologize for not being more considerate," admitting her mistake. Following public criticism, the content has been made private.
