[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] Broadcaster Kim Nayoung opened up about the emotions she felt while raising her two sons alone after her divorce.

On the 9th, JTBC's new variety show 'Brave Solo Parenting - I Raise Them' aired, revealing the solo parenting daily lives of Jo Yoonhee, Kim Hyunsook, and Kim Nayoung.

On this day, host Kim Gura looked at Kim Nayoung and cautiously mentioned, "During the program, Nayoung dropped out in the middle of the broadcast. I just thought, 'Nayoung must be having a hard time.'"

Previously, Kim Nayoung's ex-husband, Mr. Choi, was arrested in November 2018 on charges including violation of the Capital Markets Act. Kim Nayoung eventually divorced in 2019 and has been raising her two sons alone.

Recalling that time, Kim Nayoung said to Kim Gura, "I thought you would call me, but you didn't. When I was having a hard time. Yoo Jae-suk called me." Kim Gura replied, "I think it's better not to call at times like that. Yoo Jae-suk is Yoo Jae-suk."

Kim Gura then said, "Looking at you now, your face seems better," and added, "You seem much more stable." Kim Nayoung responded, "I am much more stable." However, when Jo Yoonhee held her hand, she showed tears. Kim Nayoung said, "That day came to mind."

In a subsequent interview with the production team, Kim Nayoung said it has been 28 months since she started solo parenting, adding, "I am getting along well in my own way, spending every day like a war, cooking and fighting with my two sons."

She continued, "I had many worries like, 'Can I do well?' I kept doing broadcasts, but if I couldn't, then what would I live on? I think I had those kinds of concerns," she confessed.

Later, Kim Nayoung said, "Honestly, I wanted to hide," and added, "But I couldn't hide. Because there are children I have to take responsibility for. So I gathered courage. I have to overcome it."

Kim Nayoung also said, "I think I got up with the strength from people's support. I am doing well at work, and my children are very lovely. This is the prime of my life now." She then revealed the reason for appearing on the show, saying, "Actually, when I first started solo parenting, I received a lot of support from many people. I want to give encouragement to others as well."
