Lee Ji-hyun, a former member of the girl group Jewelry, has left the hair salon where she was working due to childcare issues.
On the 10th, Lee revealed on social media (SNS) that she had decided to leave the hair salon where she had been working as a designer and marketing director.
“If it were up to me, I had adjusted to some extent and wanted to keep working, but there was no day without trouble due to the children’s big and small problems,” she shared. “I thought the children had grown a little, but that was not the case.”
Lee, who is raising two children on her own, said it was not easy to balance work and childcare in situations where the children were injured or took turns falling ill. She also expressed concern about the increasing amount of time the children spent alone and the fact that their meals had mostly come to be resolved with delivery food.
In particular, recalling an incident where her daughter fell and went to the hospital alone to get four stitches, she confessed, “My heart ached unbearably.”
Lee stated, “I am working so hard for my children, but if I cannot be by their side when they need their mother, what is the point of it all? There were also many days when it felt as if the sky was falling on me.”
After expressing gratitude to her colleagues who had worked with her, Lee announced that she plans to move to a hair salon of another brand located five minutes from her home and continue working only on modeling assignments.
Lee has been raising one son and one daughter on her own after divorcing twice in 2016 and 2020. After obtaining the national qualification as a hairdresser in 2025, she had been working as a hairdresser.
