While singer Hong Kyung-min and his wife Kim Yu-na display vastly different personalities, Kim Yu-na's impressive elite background in traditional Korean music has been revealed.

On the 10th, an episode of SBS variety show "Same Bed Different Dreams 2-You Are My Destiny" aired with the title "The protagonists of sounds we hear every day?! Hong Kyung-min praises his wife Kim Yu-na."

That day, Hong Kyung-min's wife Kim Yu-na introduced herself as "Kim Yu-na, wife of Hong Kyung-min and a haegum performer."

Hong Kyung-min said, "Unlike me, she has the focus and willpower to dedicate herself when she sets her mind on something. In a way, she pursued an ideal path in her studies," while proudly boasting about his wife's elite background in traditional Korean music.

He continued, "She graduated from middle and high school specializing in traditional Korean music, and after marriage, completed her doctoral program at Seoul National University." Kim Yu-na added, "I am currently giving lectures at my alma mater, the Korea National University of Arts. I have also been invited to lecture at Chonnam National University, Kyungpook National University, and Sookmyung Women's University."

In addition to lecturing, Kim Yu-na has consistently held solo concerts and revealed that her work was even featured in elementary school textbooks. She explained, "As part of a project to make traditional Korean music more accessible, I was suddenly asked to produce animal sounds using the haegum." It was also revealed that she personally performed the subway transfer sound "Eolssiguya," leaving viewers surprised.

Kim Yu-na expressed her frustration, saying, "Instruments are competitive. I am very ambitious and always wanted to be number one, so I grew up in such an environment. I cannot understand or sympathize with children who try to avoid practicing."

In response, Hong Kyung-min remarked, "There is something different about me," adding, "I have never felt the need to surpass or defeat anyone. This attitude has also been reflected in my life. I said I would pursue my career as a singer like naengmyeon—thin and long." Kim Yu-na then joked, "Dad gave up on everything."
