Choi Yeon-soo, daughter of chef Choi Hyun-seok, shared updates on her parenting journey.

On the 17th, Choi Yeon-soo held a Q&A session with fans through her Instagram story.

When asked that day whether she ever argues with her husband over childcare, Choi replied, "Oh really... even though I try my best, something still doesn't sit right with me. I wonder why."

Choi also revealed the reason for weaning. She said, "I've been undergoing physical therapy, taking medication, and applying patches due to trigger finger syndrome, so I was worried it might not be good for the baby."

She added, "Moreover, constantly bending my head to check on the baby while breastfeeding worsened my forward neck posture and tightened my shoulders. My chest also changed in shape and other ways, which made me feel depressed."

She continued, "Now I wish I could breastfeed again. I'd love to see that cute look once more, but saying I don't want to do it anymore is just something I can say comfortably now. While there are regrets, I have no regrets. Both formula feeding and breastfeeding have their pros and cons."

Additionally, when asked if parenting isn't difficult, Choi responded, "It is. Of course, the baby is incredibly cute and beautiful. But apart from those times when she slept so peacefully as a newborn, she hasn't stopped crying. Now that she's approaching 100 days old, she's screaming and getting angry. What kind of behavior is this?"

Meanwhile, Choi Yeon-soo married Kim Taehyun, a member of the band DickPunks, in September 2025, and announced her pregnancy in December of the same year. Although she was originally scheduled to give birth in June, her due date was moved forward by about a month due to gestational hypertension.
