South Korean actress Lee Young-ae recently shared that her daughter is majoring in vocal music at an arts middle school.
On October 24, the YouTube channel 'Study King Jin Genius Hong Jin-kyung' released a video titled 'The Humanization of Elegance: What Does Lee Young-ae's Voice Sound Like When She's Really Angry? (First Look at Her Itaewon Home)'.
In the video, Lee Young-ae mentioned, "My children didn't attend an English kindergarten. We lived in Yangpyeong until they were seven." She continued, "Currently, my daughter Seung-bin is studying vocal music at an arts middle school. She loves singing and prefers arts and physical education over academics. I have no regrets about not sending them to an English kindergarten; I think it was the right decision."
She added, "Our kids attended a church kindergarten near our home. After moving to Seoul, they went to a school in Itaewon. All the kids there had attended English kindergartens, except for our daughter, who went to a local kindergarten."
Discussing her daily routine, Lee Young-ae said, "I plan the kids' academy schedules. I sometimes go riding myself, but I can't do it now. When I have free time, I like to ride and chat with my daughter. She enjoys our occasional dates."
After moving from Yangpyeong to Itaewon, Lee Young-ae mentioned that she is close with fellow celebrities like Jang Seo-hee and Baek Ji-yeon. She said, "I contact people who live nearby to exercise together and walk around Namsan."
Meanwhile, Lee Young-ae married businessman Jung Ho-young, who is 20 years her senior, in 2009. The couple welcomed twins in 2011. Jung Ho-young, born in 1951, graduated from the Illinois Institute of Technology in the United States and worked in the American IT industry. He founded a telecommunications venture in Korea in the late 1980s and served as chairman of the defense company Korea Raycom. His wealth is estimated to be around 2 trillion won.
