"Welcome to Sogeun School" Mijoo Says, "The Kids Were So Cute. I Kept Thinking About How Much Cuter My Own Child Would Be"

[Sportschosun reporter Ahn So-yoon] Mijoo, a member of Lovelyz and a broadcaster, shared her thoughts after appearing on "Welcome to Sogeun School."

At the online production presentation for KBS2's new variety show "Welcome to Sogeun School" on the 24th, Mijoo said, "Becoming a kindergarten teacher was always my dream," and added, "I love children."

"Welcome to Sogeun School" follows a two-month journey in which children and seniors, with an age gap of as much as 70 years, gather in one classroom, take classes together, and build intergenerational understanding. Twelve students from across Uiseong County are expected to overcome generational differences and become "true friends."

Lee Mi-joo is set to shine as a teacher who helps bridge generations. She said, "Since my dream was to become a kindergarten teacher, I felt confident that I could make good memories with the children. I also thought it would be fun to spend time with the seniors, so I gladly joined."

Asked how she felt about realizing her dream through the program, Lee Mi-joo replied, "Once I actually did it, I realized how admirable kindergarten teachers are. I became careful with my words and felt a strong sense of responsibility." She added, "I liked the children so much that I kept following them around. While doing this program, I thought, 'These kids are already so cute, how much cuter would my own child be?'" Lee Soo-geun then jokingly asked, "Are you suddenly talking about plans for a second generation?" Lee Mi-joo laughed and answered, "I just had that thought."

Meanwhile, KBS2's "Welcome to Sogeun School" will premiere at 10 p.m. on the 25th.
