Is it a coincidence that comedian Lee Su-ji's satire on kindergartens has hit close to home? Criticism is mounting over the 'no salt' controversy surrounding Ayanne, wife of singer and actor Lee Ji-hoon.

Recently, Ayanne announced via her personal account that she discovered candy wrappers in her daughter Lu-hee's kindergarten bag, stating, "It was a bit shocking since the baby is still not eating salt."

While she explained that she was surprised given her strict management of her child's diet, some netizens responded with remarks such as, "Isn't this an open attack on kindergartens?"

The controversy grew as past videos were also re-examined. In particular, Ayanne was criticized for "selective no salt" after footage resurfaced from her YouTube channel in February showing her feeding her daughter with jjambbong broth.

In this context, Lee Su-ji's recently popular YouTube content was also brought up. Through her own YouTube channel, she recently gained sympathy by realistically satirizing the culture of demanding parents that kindergarten and preschool teachers face. She humorously portrayed parents who react sensitively to everything from children's snacks and daily habits to minor incidents, drawing significant attention.

Following Lee Su-ji's satirical videos, discussions about 'excessive parenting' and the 'demanding parent' culture were highlighted as a social issue online.

With the 'no salt' controversy involving Ayanne, who appeared to openly attack kindergartens, the public backlash has intensified further.

However, some voices argue that the criticism is excessive. They note that caring about a child's diet for health reasons is within a parent's choice, and that mocking the entire role of parenting based on a single scene is going too far.

Meanwhile, Lee Ji-hoon and Ayanne married in 2021 and welcomed their first daughter, Lu-hee, through in vitro fertilization in 2024. Ayanne is currently pregnant with her second child.
