Broadcaster Moon Ji-ae, formerly an announcer, announced that she does not visit her in-laws during holidays.

On the 10th, a video titled "We decided not to visit our in-laws during holidays" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Life's Luxury Moon Ji-ae'.

Moon Ji-ae discussed ways to reduce holiday stress with her husband Jeon Jong-hwan.

Jeon Jong-hwan said, "It's been about 15 years since we got married. When I first went to our house, my mother didn't ask me to do anything." Moon Ji-ae also explained, "I've never once touched anything there."

Jeon Jong-hwan added, "There was no stress about washing dishes or preparing food. But that became the problem. At first, seeing that there was no labor, I thought, 'This must not be hard.' However, after three to four years passed, I realized that the real source of hardship wasn't washing dishes or cooking, but spending about six hours together during the holiday period." He further revealed, "I also felt some pressure regarding space. There was pressure to be harmonious because it was a holiday."

Moon Ji-ae explained, "At that time, we had to entertain ourselves and spend the whole day together, but since we didn't have children, there was nothing to talk about. We reached our limits. So we played Yutnori and Hwatu."

In response, Jeon Jong-hwan announced that they changed their holiday culture. He said, "Actually, we visit our parents once a week. By removing the burden of having to look happy for six hours out of obligation, things have changed a bit."

Hearing this, Moon Ji-ae said, "But my mother-in-law is watching. I didn't say anything at all. I've never uttered a single word or even sighed. But by following my husband's lead, we ended up moving in a better direction."

Jeon Jong-hwan clarified, "Since it's a holiday, we changed our plan to meet either a week before or on the weekend just before Chuseok." Moon Ji-ae added, "At first, when we tried this, we went early, but my parents-in-law seemed disappointed, so we also went on the actual day sometimes. Through these trial and errors, our family has developed a culture of spending holidays this way."

Jeon Jong-hwan said, "The hardest part is the pressure to be happy in the same space anyway. By removing that, we go to restaurants. A little investment is needed. Since it's a special day, we spend money to gather together and enjoy good food happily."

Moon Ji-ae said, "After spending time at restaurants, things changed into a one-night stay at a pension. It would be a lie to say no concerns arose at all. However, the novelty that space brings helps offset this burden. Now, there are defined roles for each person, and we become free from them."

Additionally, Moon Ji-ae said, "Our in-laws are reasonable people. They showed us great consideration," expressing gratitude to her parents-in-law. Jeon Jong-hwan replied, "I'm grateful to both Ji-ae and my mother."
