[Sportschosun Jung Yu-na reporter] Actress Ji So-yeon, who shocked fans after suddenly fainting while raising her three children, has traveled alone to New York City to recover her health and rest.
Ji So-yeon said on the 22nd that she was heading to New York City. She explained, "This trip was actually not planned," adding, "After suddenly collapsing a few weeks ago, I realized that my body and mind were more exhausted than I had thought. I guess I had been telling myself I was fine and had kept going nonstop with childcare and work."
She continued, "Raising my three children, Hael, Doha, and Leha, and getting through each day in a blur left me with no time to take care of myself," and added, "This time, my husband pushed me to go, saying, 'Don't worry and just go. This time, you should really rest and come back.'"
She also said, "It isn't easy to be away from my children, but I thought a mother has to stay healthy to keep smiling for a long time," adding, "For once, I want to set aside my guilt for a while and spend some time recovering myself by walking slowly without any plan, eating well, and sleeping well."
Finally, Ji So-yeon described the trip as "a small gift to myself, after always running hard."
The accompanying video also showed her on the plane. She said it was her first time flying first class, and after tasting caviar, she confessed, "The moment I took a bite, all kinds of thoughts flashed through my mind, and for reasons I can't explain, I suddenly felt overwhelmed and tears welled up." She then drew attention with an expression that seemed to reflect a mix of complicated emotions.
Meanwhile, Ji So-yeon married actor Song Jae-hee in 2017. She gave birth to her first daughter in 2023 and welcomed twin son and daughter last September.
