'Malja Show' cheered on expectant mothers preparing for their second life.

The KBS2 program 'Malja Show,' which aired on the 25th, was specially themed around 'Life's Second Act.' In that broadcast, 'Malja Halmae' Kim Young-hee listened to the concerns of people preparing for a second life and those already living it.

In particular, a concern arose: "I'm about to become a mother. Can I start this 'second act' of life as a mother well?" Kim Young-hee responded, "For me, becoming my daughter's mother, rather than getting married, was the start of my 'second act.' That changed my life the most."

Kim Young-hee said, "I thought maternal instinct was something that came with giving birth," but added, "It didn't appear from the start. Maternal instinct develops while raising a child." She recalled, "Once, while bathing with my daughter, the power went out in the house. I didn't think it was a power outage; I thought someone had broken into the house. I'm quite fearful, so I told my daughter to hide safely in the bathroom and went around the house with a weapon in hand."

Kim Young-hee shared, "As I was pacing around the house like that, my daughter came out of the bathroom with a desperate look and hugged me. I didn't have the courage to enter the main room, so I held her tightly in my arms, still in my clothes, and fell asleep by the window." She added, "After experiencing that, I truly realized that I am a mother and that this child is my daughter."

Kim Young-hee remarked, "My child wasn't particularly difficult to raise, but now she's in the 'hateful five-year-old' phase, and it's chaos." She concluded her advice by saying, "It's a tough period, but I believe being a mother is also a profession. I hope the person who shared this story can grow with her children, holding pride in being a mother."
