Yoon Young-mi says she sleeps in her son's closet in New York apartment costing 5 million won a month

Former announcer and broadcaster Yoon Young-mi shared an update on her son living in a closet in his monthly-rent room in New York, United States.

On Monday, Yoon revealed photos along with a post on her social media, saying, "In my son's 5-pyeong [16 sqm] New York apartment with a 5 million won monthly rent, my bedroom is the closet."

In the revealed photo, Yoon is seen lying down to sleep on bedding spread out inside a cramped closet.

Regarding this, Yoon said, "It's fortunate that I am short. Besides, I can't hear the train sounds, and it's dark and warm," accepting the situation of sleeping in the closet positively.

Yoon also shared a conversation she had with her husband this spring while preparing for a trip to New York.

She recalled, "This spring, as we planned our trip to New York, my husband said to me who was worried about the expenses, 'It's still quite a while until autumn, so why worry? By then, things will be more comfortable.'"

She continued, "To me who was worried about accommodation in New York, my husband said, 'God will surely prepare a good place for us. Surely He won't make the whole family live in a room as small as a grain of rice?'"

In response to this, Yoon reacted by saying, "God must be quite busy."

Nevertheless, she said, "If we use things frugally, it will somehow work out. And since we have a small one-room apartment, I can see my son's face every day, so how wonderful is that?"

She added, "In the old days, six or seven family members lived closely together in a small entrance room, so what's the difference," showing a positive attitude.

Previously, Yoon appeared on the MBN variety show 'Sokpuri Show Dongchimi' aired last May and revealed that it had cost 2.6 billion won for her two sons, born in consecutive years, to study abroad in the United States over 13 years.

At the time, Yoon said that both of her sons enrolled at Columbia University in New York, United States, and said, "Even with scholarships and part-time jobs, it cost more than 100 million won per year for each of them."

Her husband, Hwang Nung-jun, is a pastor engaged in service-centered pastoral activities. Yoon revealed that when she transitioned to being a freelancer, her two sons began studying abroad, and even during a period without fixed income, she single-handedly covered the study abroad costs ranging from 20 million to 25 million won per month. She recalled sending the money earned from handling four to five schedules a day, including various broadcasts and home shopping appearances, as tuition fees, and sometimes canceling insurance policies in urgent situations.

Yoon shared, "Before going to the graduation ceremony, I had only 970,000 won in my account, but rather, my mind was at ease." She continued, "I felt a sense of liberation to the point where I unconsciously danced in Times Square, rejoicing at the thought that I no longer needed to send large sums of money every month."
