Model Lee Hyun, who appeared on 'Trying Living,' is deeply immersed in the leisurely daily life of working moms in the Philippines.

In the sixth episode of the MBN and MBC DramaNet entertainment show 'Trying Living,' airing at 10:20 p.m. on the 30th, Lee Hyun will be seen requesting a tailored overseas living guide for her children's education. In response, MC Lee Ji-hye strongly recommends the Philippines, known as 'the holy land of English education in Asia,' while targeting her 'close friend' Lee Hyun's preferences.

First, Lee Ji-hye calls upon Ahn So-hee, a 'living guide' with eight years of experience in the Philippines. Ahn So-hee introduces the private school that her nine-year-old son Leo attends. This school is equipped with state-of-the-art security facilities, gymnasiums, playgrounds, and health rooms. Ahn So-hee explains, "The average annual tuition for private schools in the Philippines is about 1.8 to 2.1 million won. This is about one-fifth of the average in Korea (9.18 million won)." She then goes on to visit a century-old international school, which also has an average annual tuition that is less than half of Korea's (18 million won), making Lee Hyun's eyes sparkle. At this point, Lee Ji-hye emphasizes, "Even sending two kids here is cheaper than in Korea," pointing out the high-quality meals provided.

During after-school hours, a tutor who speaks English helps Leo return home instead of working mom Ahn So-hee. After arriving home, the tutor also provides personal tutoring, but the tutor's hourly wage and the monthly salary of the housekeeper who works six days a week are shocking amounts that leave the studio in disbelief. Lee Hyun comments, "No wonder the Filipino moms are all so calm," sharing a relatable remark. Ahn So-hee notes, "If we were in Korea, we wouldn't have been able to hire a tutor and a housekeeper," to which Lee Ji-hye vigorously agrees, saying, "It's a paradise for working moms!"

Amid Lee Hyun's deep immersion in the Philippines, Jasson counters by recommending Malta. Jasson particularly highlights, "As I was researching, I really wanted to go. I think it would be truly happy to go to Malta with Jun-bum,” actively promoting his point. Lee Ji-hye immediately asks, "Then what about Hong Hyun-hee?" to which Jasson responds, "Hong Hyun-hee has to work in Korea..." unintentionally revealing the 'giraffe dreamer' aspect, shaking up the scene.

In the midst of cheerful back-and-forth, Lee Jun-ho, a 'living guide' in Malta raising daughters aged 11 and 7, steps in to introduce Malta's private schools. These schools boast an environment where students can naturally acquire English as well as a second foreign language, featuring a track, a basketball court, a tennis court, and a futsal field, showcasing their immense scale. Despite being in Europe, the average tuition for international schools in Malta is 17 million won per year, cheaper than in Filipino international schools, captivating Lee Hyun.

As evening approaches, a meeting with a local wealthy individual whose son attends a private school in Malta unfolds. They emphasize the "lower rent than Canada and a life without safety concerns," praising the Malta lifestyle. In particular, when mentioning enjoying Juventus Academy soccer training at half the price, Lee Hyun, a 'soccer fanatic,' exclaims, "I want to go!" causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Whether Lee Hyun will ultimately choose 'a country where both parents and children are happy' will be revealed in the sixth episode of 'Trying Living,' airing simultaneously on MBN and MBC DramaNet at 10:20 p.m. on the 30th.
