Comedian Ahn Young-mi shared her feelings upon returning to the radio after completing her maternity leave.

On the 26th, Ahn appeared on MBC FM4U's "Two O'Clock Date with Ahn Young-mi."

That day, Ahn said, "I recently stopped breastfeeding. Recently, I showed an incredible image while dancing to ATEEZ's 'BAD,' but that's gone now. It just disappeared. Since it was there and then isn't, it feels a bit empty."

She continued, "Before, even when watching idols, as a mother of a baby, I saw them all like my son and thought, 'I wish my child could grow up like that.' But after seeing San's dancing, my heart suddenly started pounding. I felt alive."

Regarding the wound on the back of her hand, Ahn explained, "It's due to housewife's eczema. Since early pregnancy, I've had eczema, and my hands were in a terrible state. Because I couldn't apply medicine while pregnant, I could only start using it now that I've stopped breastfeeding."

Ahn added, "Parenting is more emotionally exhausting than physically. Not sleeping is something I've always prepared for, so that's fine. But with my first child, sometimes she gets jealous, and I worry about hurting her feelings with just one word of mine. So I have to monitor those emotions too, which makes it feel like managing two households at once. It's too hard."

Ahn married a non-celebrity working in the U.S. in February 2020 and gave birth to her first child in 2023. At the time of her first childbirth, she was surrounded by controversy over so-called "birth tourism," and there were also suspicions that she would give birth to her second child in the U.S., but Ahn delivered her baby in Korea last June. Her husband, who works in the U.S., returned to Korea in time for the delivery schedule and stayed by his wife's side.
