[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Broadcaster Eva Povil shared her recent updates and opened up about her concerns.

On the 20th, Eva Povil and Christina, who gained great popularity through past talk shows, appeared as guests on SBS Plus variety program 'Do You Eat?' (Bapmeokda).

During the broadcast, Eva began by saying, "My husband works in the leisure sports industry, so he works at a water ski resort in the summer and at a ski resort in the winter."

She continued, "We were apart during summer and winter and were very busy. After doing solo parenting for several years, I started to feel frustrated and exhausted," and shared, "Last year was a turning point. I talked a lot with my husband."

She added, "Eventually, my husband quit his job," and "He now works only on weekends and takes care of the child on weekdays."

She revealed, "Financially, it has become a bit more difficult, but he supports me more so that I can work."

Eva then said, "My husband doesn't see me as a woman. Why in Korea, once you have a child, are you just seen as a mom? I want to be seen as a woman," expressing her concerns, "It hurts to be seen only as a mom."

She went on, "After having a child and taking a break from work, I gained weight. So I did fitness and pole dancing. I wanted to show a bit of sexiness," and shared her disappointment about her husband, "When I posted bikini photos on social networking services (SNS), he said, 'That's only for young ladies.'

In response, Kim Soo-mi said, "That's because your husband is jealous."
