Actress Lee Mi-young, who previously divorced singer Jeon Young-rok, drew public attention with her candid remarks on the March 16 broadcast of MBN's talk show "Body Insight." During the episode, Lee Mi-young visited a Korean sauna (jjimjilbang) with a close friend and discussed her affectionate yet complicated relationship with her daughters, who are often referred to as her "gold medal" and "silver medal."

At one point, Lee Mi-young stirred curiosity by commenting, "I am still a bronze medal." She went on to express concerns, saying, "Now that I'm older, I should step back, but I'm still hanging onto the household. I worry about my two daughters." Her companion advised, "Mothers need to let go. You should move past your lingering attachment to your kids." However, Lee Mi-young admitted, "Even though I'm told to let go, I simply can't."

In a subsequent interview with the production team, Lee Mi-young revealed, "When my children were ten and nine respectively, I divorced and we lived apart. We only reunited when they entered their third and second years of high school." She added, "I feel such sorrow for my daughters because I believe I've hurt them. I carry a sense of guilt that I can't seem to shake, even though they tell me they are fine. I may never fully let it go as long as I live."

Lee Mi-young married singer Jeon Young-rok in 1985 and the couple had two daughters together before divorcing in 1997. She later remarried an American professor in 2003, but after another divorce, she has been living with her two daughters.

Meanwhile, renewed interest has focused on the current life of Jeon Boram, Lee Mi-young's daughter who rose to fame as a member of the K-pop group T-ara. Boram debuted with T-ara in 2009, and after her contract with the agency concluded in 2017, she left the group. Although she transitioned into acting, appearing in dramas such as "Master of Study," "Sweet Temptation," and "Shall We Dance?", she has since largely withdrawn from the entertainment industry, much to the disappointment of her fans.
