Broadcaster Ham So-won opened up about her struggles over raising her daughter following her divorce.

According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings survey company, the 24th episode of SBS Plus' 'Lee Ho-seon's Saida,' which aired on the 13th, recorded a peak household rating of 0.7% in Bundang (Nielsen, metropolitan area, cable TV).

In that episode, Ham So-won appeared as a guest, drawing attention as she shared her dilemma over whether to continue arranging meetings between her ex-husband and their daughter.

Ham So-won revealed that even after divorcing four years ago, she has continued to facilitate meetings between her daughter, Hye-jeong, and her ex-husband. She began contacting him after her daughter started feeling the absence of her father, and since then, her ex-husband has spent time with their daughter every weekend and whenever Ham So-won had work commitments.

Ham So-won admitted that she had considered reconciling, but her feelings faded after experiencing her ex-husband's lifestyle again, which she could not understand.

In particular, Ham So-won disclosed that her daughter was diagnosed with obesity during a school health checkup and said that after meeting her ex-husband, "she gained about 9 to 10 kg in a year." She added that it seems to be due to her ex-husband's irregular lifestyle, stating, "When she returns from meeting her father, she takes off her pants. She eats so much that rubber band marks are left on her stomach."

Additionally, Ham So-won expressed great anger over her ex-husband's recent failure to keep a promise, saying, "There is nothing definite about him," and became emotional. Her anger was so intense that it brought back the reasons she had once decided to divorce. Shockingly, her daughter Hye-jeong told her, "Just ignore him."

However, MC Lee Ho-seon did not view Ham So-won's dilemma solely as a problem with her ex-husband. Lee Ho-seon pointed out the core issue, saying, "What worries me most is that you keep bad-mouthing your husband," and added, "The child is already trying to please her mother."

Lee Ho-seon noted, "It is a typical mistake that parents should not make to express dissatisfaction about the father in front of the child," and described it as "creating a triangle relationship."

She continued, "You have no right to prevent your child from seeing their father. If you dislike the chaos in the house when the child's father comes over, arrange to meet outside." She further added, "Sometimes, even if you are dissatisfied, the child needs time to breathe with their father. If you prevent them from meeting, the child may become physically slim, but they could suffer from a lifelong lack of love."

Lee Ho-seon also identified the core issue in Ham So-won's family as the lack of "agreed-upon parenting standards." She advised that rather than setting too many rules with the ex-husband, they should establish minimum parenting standards and rules regarding how they meet, what the child eats, and their lifestyle habits.

Finally, Lee Ho-seon told Ham So-won, "You should not become a powerful mother to the child," and encouraged her, "You are raising your child diligently, so please receive parenting education and continue raising her." After the counseling, Ham So-won expressed satisfaction, saying, "I feel like I've just had a glass of real Saida. The burden I've been carrying seems to have lifted a bit. I feel like I can come out anytime."
