[SBS Star] Choi Ji Woo Explains Why She Felt Upset with Her Daughter for No Clear Reason

Actress Choi Ji Woo opened up about feeling somewhat betrayed and upset when her young daughter did not miss her while she was away.

On August 25 episode of KBS' television show "The Return of Superman," fencer Kim Jun-ho left his two sons, Eun-woo and Jung-woo, with ice hockey player Nam Hee-doo and announcer Lee Na-yeon while he went out to work.

To Kim Jun-ho's surprise, Eun-woo and Jung-woo had a great time with Nam Hee-doo and Lee Na-yeon, looking as if they did not miss their parents at all.

Watching the kids having so much fun, Kim Jun-ho commented in the studio, "It's really interesting to see them like this without me. They seem to be doing just fine without me." 

When Choi Ji Woo asked if he felt a bit hurt by this, Kim Jun-ho admitted, "I mean, it's definitely a relief, but at the same time, it's a bit disappointing that they don't seem to miss their dad at all," with a bittersweet smile.
Nodding, Choi Ji Woo responded, "I totally understand how you feel. When I hear from my daughter's kindergarten that she played well, I sometimes ask, 'Did she not ask for me?'" 

The actress continued, "If they tell me that my daughter had a good time without asking for me, it feels a bit upsetting. It's like I feel a little betrayed and upset for no reason. But if I show that disappointment, it might make me come across as someone with a small heart!" 

Her candid remark immediately drew laughter from everyone.
Choi Ji Woo married a non-celebrity IT professional in March 2018 after dating for a year. 

The couple welcomed their first child, Roo-ah, in May 2020.
