'Radio Star' featured actress Kim Seong-eun clarifying the matter of her children's academy fees.
The MBC variety program 'Radio Star,' broadcast on the 13th, was specially themed 'Passionate Teachers on Teachers' Day,' with Seo Kyung-seok, Choi Tae-sung, Kim Seong-eun, and Hwang Min-ho appearing as guests.
On this day, Kim Seong-eun shared her thoughts on the appearance, stating, "When I appeared on 'Las' seven years ago, I was pregnant with my third child. Now my third child is seven years old. I came out with a light body."

Regarding her children's current status, Kim Seong-eun said, "My eldest is playing soccer and is a first-year high school student. My second child is in third grade of elementary school, and my third is seven years old. I am busy raising the children while also working. When raising three children, you have to receive three report cards, attend three general meetings, and everything becomes 'times three'."
On the subject of private education for her children, she explained, "My eldest was raised as a Daechi-dong kid. I sent them to various academies. For math academies alone, they didn't just attend one; they went to several. I also had them play soccer and hockey. I sent them to all of them. They liked it themselves."
Kim Seong-eun added, "Rumors spread in Daechi-dong. It became known that wherever they went, Kim Seong-eun was sitting there. I truly raised them with passion, but as my eldest started playing soccer, the era of the Daechi-dong kid came to an end."
Regarding her changed educational philosophy after her first child, Kim Seong-eun said, "When raising my second child, I believe a mother should provide opportunities, but it seems right to let them do what they like, so I focused on arts and sports. However, I still had to make them study Korean, English, and math. If I sent my eldest to four academies, I sent my second to just one. I drastically reduced the number of academies, and for my third, I don't make them do anything at all. Currently, they are only doing soccer and an art academy. I don't make them study."
Along with this, Kim Seong-eun also addressed the issue of education. She said, "While looking for YouTube content, I suddenly wondered, 'How many academies are they attending?' I didn't do this with any ulterior motive, and I didn't expect to become 'iSuga.' Bored, I listed the academies and organized the amounts. My second child was attending over 10 academies, and the academy fees for my second and third children totaled 3 million won. That's how I became 'iSuga,' and Jung Jo-guk's salary appeared in the related search terms. However, many people think I send my children to academies using my husband's money, but I also earn money. I am working hard for my children's education."
Meanwhile, Kim Seong-eun married former soccer player Jung Jo-guk in 2009 and has two sons and one daughter. She also became a topic of discussion when she stated through YouTube content, "I spend about 3.25 million won per month just on the academy fees for my second and third children. This does not include the costs for my eldest, kindergarten, or school fees."
