Park Ji-yun, formerly a KBS announcer, shared recent updates about her trip to Sokcho with her son.

On the 18th, Park Ji-yun posted photos from her trip to Sokcho with her son, Ian, saying, "Since Dain left, I was worried Ian might feel empty, so I suddenly brought him along yesterday. They seem carefree and happy."

She added, "We even stopped at a rest area for the first time in a while and are now seeing the East Sea, not the Jeju Sea, so I think this is a time for Mom to catch her breath. We'll rest well before heading back." Park Ji-yun also noted, "By the way, the seafood hunter wants to eat French toast from Sokcho since morning. Where should we go?"

Earlier, Park Ji-yun shared a video of her daughter studying in the U.S., saying, "It's only been six weeks, but since it's the first time we've been apart for so long, I've been acting unusually. Honestly, at first, I was worried about the cost and felt confused, wondering if this was the right choice. I'm never the type to overspend on private education. I only send her when she says she needs to go." She continued, "But on the other hand, even in this confusing situation everyone knows, how admirable is it that she stays calm and handles everything on her own? She applied on her own, passed the exam, and wants to go. How could I not let her? I'm sending her off as if selling everything I own, so I'm a mother who can't smile enough while seeing her off."

Especially, Park Ji-yun said, "I haven't bragged much about my children, have I? I'll share one heartwarming moment of daily life. Every time an article comes out saying 'daughter preparing for medical school,' I remember posting a review of Joo Ji-hoon's drama once, and then Dain became a medical school applicant!!! Since things have come to this, I don't know what to do, but let's try our best. Have a good time, my daughter (Don't forget to buy an uncle's Johns Hopkins T-shirt, lol)."

She also added, "#Mom's envious too. I used to dream of seeing the study-hardening students at Harvard, but my grandfather wouldn't let me go? #Dad, why did you do that? But thanks to that, I didn't waste time and only prepared for employment, which is how I became an announcer. So, thank you, Dad, for your big picture."

Park Ji-yun met Choi Dong-seok in 2004 as a fellow 30th cohort entrant at KBS and married him after four years of dating in 2009. However, in October 2023, she filed for divorce mediation, ending their 14-year marriage. Since then, both parties have filed counter-lawsuits against each other, each claiming "no misconduct occurred." The two are also jointly proceeding with the trial of the main divorce case.

Park Ji-yun has secured custody and parental rights over her children, while Choi Dong-seok meets them twice a week through visitation rights.
