Ann Im Hyun-ju of MBC revealed her pain over her daughter's surgery at just 30 months old.
On the 18th, Ann posted on her personal account: "Aria's first surgery. We received a call from the daycare in the morning. She fell and got a wound on her face. When they said we needed to go to a major hospital, my heart sank as I realized something I never wanted to imagine had happened." She added, "We went to the emergency room at a university hospital, but they said there was no doctor available to suture the wound. The teacher and the child arrived together. Seeing her without shoes on, I could picture how urgent the situation must have been. Still, the child smiled upon seeing her mother. I held her tightly and prayed, 'Please, let her be okay.'"
Ann continued, "I couldn't bear to look, so I asked Daniel to check on her. I wasn't strong enough to even see the wound, yet I forced a calm smile in front of the child. We moved to another hospital for the suturing procedure. Local anesthesia was applied to her face. In the operating room, I wrapped her body and covered her face. As her mother, and as the child's source of strength, I played a lullaby and talked to her to keep her from getting scared." She wrote, "Aria, who had been squirming, finally calmed down. My tears, which I had been holding back, flowed freely. I truly felt how remarkable Aria is. As her mother, my body was trembling, yet Aria bravely went through the entire process. All the things that had shaken my heart recently now felt like dust in the midday sun. At that moment, nothing else mattered."

Continuing, Ann said, "After Aria successfully completed the big procedure, I wanted to show her nature. We headed to Yeouido Park, and Aria played just as she always did." She added, "I will do my best to ensure no scar remains. I am so grateful that such a gentle and brave child is my daughter. Holding her, rubbing cheeks, and spending time together is so precious."
The released photos showed the daughter with a bandage on her face after treatment for the wound, evoking sympathy.
Meanwhile, Ann Hyun-ju married British author Daniel Tudor in February 2023. The couple welcomed their first daughter in October of that year and their second daughter in February last year.
