Ayane, the Japanese wife of singer and musical actor Lee Ji-hoon, sparked controversy after mentioning her "salt-free parenting" for her 1-year-old daughter, which was interpreted as an attack on a daycare center. As the backlash grew, Ayane ultimately closed the comments section on her social media.

Recently, Ayane posted on her social media that she found candy wrappers in her daughter Lu-hee's daycare bag, stating, "I was a bit shocked because my baby is still on a salt-free diet. We had been persuading her that she couldn't eat this (candy), but now I learned she can eat it."

Some netizens who saw Ayane's post criticized her for attacking the daycare center and its teachers. Given that daycare centers involve children from many families living together, most of the critical comments pointed out that it is difficult to adhere to every family's unique parenting principles.

As public criticism mounted, Ayane clarified, "This post was not made out of dissatisfaction with the daycare center. Originally, the WHO recommends salt-free diets for children under 24 months. Do daycare centers really give out candy? I did not mean to imply that the teachers were emotionless or wrong. I posted this because I was a bit upset," continuing a back-and-forth exchange with some netizens.

Despite Ayane's explanation, the voices of criticism grew louder. Subsequently, Ayane shared a conversation she had with the daycare teacher and posted a lengthy apology. However, as the situation did not improve, Ayane has since closed the comments section on some of her social media posts. She also deleted the apology post.

Meanwhile, a video titled "One-Year-Old Lu-hee's Spicy Jjamppong Challenge," uploaded to Ayane and Lee Ji-hoon's YouTube channel in February, has recently been brought back into the spotlight. This is because the video featured the couple, who emphasized salt-free diets, allowing their daughter to taste stir-fried Jjamppong.

Netizens who viewed the video reacted with disbelief, saying, "Is there such a thing as salt-free Jjamppong?" "Please launch a salt-free Jjamppong campaign," "Is it okay for parents to give Jjamppong at home, but not for teachers to give vitamin candy at daycare?" "It seems they fed her Jjamppong so she could experience the spiciness and learn not to eat it in the future, but then she posted on social media about finding a bag of vitamin candy, which is inconsistent," and "Do as I say, not as I do."

However, as of the 12th, the video has not been set to private. Netizens have speculated that the reason the video remains public is because it includes advertisements and sponsored content.
