Actor Choi Ji-woo shared a story about her adorable 4-year-old daughter, expressing her heartfelt emotions as a mother. The touching moments of her still young daughter’s gentle touch and words brought forth praises of "great parenting success."
On the 14th, during the KBS2 variety program "The Return of Superman," Choi Ji-woo, who is currently active as an MC, shared a special memory with her daughter while discussing parenting with the other grants.
On that day, Choi Ji-woo recalled her own memories with her daughter while watching a scene in which Kim Jun-ho's sons express affection toward their father. She said, "When our daughter was crawling, she drew a picture of us together, and I still cherish it. Looking at that picture, I suddenly remembered my daughter saying, 'Mom, please remember how much I loved you even as time passes.' I was really touched to hear such words."
Choi Ji-woo conveyed her emotional response to her daughter’s warm words, and everyone noted, "Great parenting success," feeling moved as well. Particularly, the drawing that her 4-year-old created drew attention due to its unexpected artistic skill.
Earlier, in the broadcast from last January, her daughter's impressive actions had also attracted attention. When asked in the studio, "How do you take a bath with your daughter?" Choi Ji-woo replied, "Since she is a girl, we take a bath together, and one day, she surprised me by washing my back. At only 4 years old, she quietly comes over and gently scrubs my back when I’m still."
She continued, "As she washes my back with those tiny hands, I momentarily thought of myself 30 years into the future. The imagery of my grown daughter and my older self overlapping was strange, evoking a mix of feelings, and it made me feel a bit sad. Still, I cherish and am happy about this time we can share together."
Feeling a deep resonance from even her daughter's small actions and words, Choi Ji-woo shared, "Watching my daughter grow is joyful, but at the same time, I feel a mix of regret," eliciting sympathy from many parents.
Meanwhile, Choi Ji-woo married a non-celebrity 9 years younger than her in 2018, giving birth to her first daughter at the age of 46 in 2020, earning her the title of the entertainment industry's representative 'late-blooming mother.' She is currently appearing as an MC on KBS2's 'The Return of Superman,' sharing the joys and emotions of parenting with a warm perspective.
