Comedian Ahn Young-mi has directly addressed the health concerns and parenting stress rumors that arose from a recent video she shared of her daily life.
Ahn Young-mi recently posted a video on her social media where she tasted a trending dessert. In the video, Ahn Young-mi showed her characteristic calm reaction while eating, but her noticeably thinner face and gaunt appearance raised concerns among fans. Fans left comments expressing worry that she looked like a grandmother while slowly chewing her food and questioned whether parenting was too difficult for her.
In response, Ahn Young-mi mentioned the controversy during the MBC radio show "Two O'Clock Date with Ahn Young-mi" on the 19th. She explained that her face has naturally lost fat as she has aged and that she hopes people do not misunderstand that she is losing weight due to health issues or parenting stress.
Previously, Ahn Young-mi garnered attention by candidly confessing the realistic difficulties she faced after childbirth. She shared her story of having to cut her hair short due to postpartum hair loss, expressing that it feels more like just surviving day by day rather than growing her hair, which resonated with many mothers.
Currently, Ahn Young-mi is known to be raising her child alone in Korea while her husband works in the United States. Despite the challenging circumstances of a long-distance marriage between Korea and the U.S. and solo parenting, she is making efforts to maintain a bright demeanor, which has led to increased support from her fans.
Despite Ahn Young-mi's clarification, netizens are sending warm encouragement messages, emphasizing that health should come first and advising her not to try to handle everything alone and to take sufficient rest. The realistic portrayal she has shown as a mother, before being a comedian who brings laughter to the public, has garnered deeper resonance and empathy from the audience.
