‘First Female’ With Fierce Determination... Yoon Seung-rim Returns 10 Days After Giving Birth, "Even the Staff Cried" (Boss in the Mirror)

[Sportschosun, Reporter Kim Soo-hyun] Music video director Yoon Seung-rim surprised everyone as a ruthless, workaholic boss.

On the KBS 2TV program "Boss in the Mirror" aired on the 21st, music video director Yoon Seung-rim appeared as the new boss.

That day, Yoon was a cool-headed boss at work, but she melted completely when she was with her son.

Yoon, who was endlessly affectionate with her son, said, "I don't get to see him often, so even when I have just a short time with him, I try my best."

Park Myung-soo then asked, "Doesn't the child know his mother is leaving?" Yoon replied, "I don't think he knows I'm his mom," drawing laughter.

Her son Do-ho danced along to the song his mother played, showing off his sense of rhythm. In response, Yoon played ALLDAY PROJECT's "FAMOUS."

Yoon said, "I worked right up until just before giving birth. When I was pregnant, I listened to it as prenatal music."

In fact, Yoon returned to work 45 days after giving birth, and she was also the first female director to do so. She revealed, "I edited until dawn on the day I gave birth, then went to the hospital two hours before delivery and had the baby."

Yoon added, "I started working again while I was in the postpartum care center. So it wasn't a return after 45 days — I went back just 10 days after giving birth."

She continued, "The staff around me seemed to feel worse for me than I did. Because I was working while heavily pregnant, I would lie on a folding bed and monitor everything. One staff member reportedly cried after seeing that. I was fine."

She also showed the side of a determined working mother, saying, "My first project after giving birth was 'FAMOUS,' so I felt I had to really deliver."
