Doctor Heo Yang-im (Director), who recently made headlines by announcing her divorce from Go Ji-yong of the group Sechs Kies, has drawn attention by sharing her simple daily life living alone with her son Seung-jae.

On the 25th, Heo Yang-im posted on her personal account: "My second vlog, 'Heo Yang-im002,' was uploaded over the weekend. I went to welcome Seung-jae back from New Zealand after a month-long trip and also headed to an academic conference even though it was Sunday with no clinic duties. Meeting my son, studying, and spending the weekend all passed by busily. Still, I decided to capture those simple moments of that day in a video. Please enjoy watching." She shared this message along with a recently uploaded vlog on her YouTube channel.

Recently, Heo Yang-im (Director) launched her own YouTube channel titled "Kkokkeude Heo Yang-il" and posted a vlog on the 21st, showing herself welcoming her son back from New Zealand after he had left for a ski camp four weeks prior.

Following the video release, some expressed unnecessary concerns about posting her son's face on YouTube after announcing the divorce. Although Seung-jae appeared on TV during his childhood, opinions varied regarding whether it was appropriate to share his image following his parents' divorce.

However, Seung-jae has already grown up, and there is no need to hide a face that is already known due to his parents' divorce. If he has already accepted the reality of his parents' separation, there is no reason to conceal him because of it. Among the children of stars who appeared on "Superman Is Back," other kids have also received support by appearing in variety shows or pursuing different paths after their parents' divorces.

Especially, it seems unnecessary for Heo Yang-im (Prof.) herself to face criticism for sharing time spent with her son in her vlog.

In that day's vlog, Heo Yang-im said, "Seung-jae went to New Zealand for a ski camp. Since it's the Southern Hemisphere, it's winter there now. I couldn't pick him up on Saturday because of hospital clinic duties, but since there were no appointments on Sunday, I came to get him."

After meeting her son after a long time, Heo Yang-im hugged Seung-jae tightly and said, "Oh, you've grown so tall. You're taller now. You look cool," openly showing her affection for her child. Seung-jae seemed shy but also appeared happy to see his mother. He showed her a kiwi fruit ornament he had bought especially for her and asked how she was doing at the hospital.

Earlier, Go Ji-yong officially announced his divorce last month. He stated, "I divorced my wife two years ago. The reason I did not disclose it until now is because I wanted to protect our son Seung-jae so he could fully understand the situation and grow up stably."

He continued, "The decision to divorce was made out of mutual respect for each other's paths and as adults taking responsibility. Seung-jae understands his mother and father's new relationship and is currently living stably and well. As a father, I will do my best moving forward. Although we are no longer married, we continue to support each other and get along well."

Go Ji-yong debuted in the entertainment industry in 1997 as part of Sechs Kies. After the group disbanded, he retired and transitioned into business. He later married Heo Yang-im in 2013 and welcomed their son Seung-jae the following year. The couple gained widespread affection for appearing on KBS 2TV's parenting variety show "Superman Is Back."
