Lee Yo-won Shows Her 'T' Personality: "I Give My Daughter 'Shock Therapy' So She Realizes She Needs a Job"
uh, but like, seriously!Lee Yo-won has revealed her true colors as a 'T' (a personality type known for being logical and objective).

On the May 18th broadcast of SBS's 'uh, but like, seriously!', actress Lee Yo-won visited Lee Su-ji's boarding house.

During the episode, Lee Sang-min described Lee Yo-won as a 'T' to the core, noting that her daughter is the biggest victim of this personality. He asked, "I heard you gave your daughter some harsh words when she didn't get into college. What happened there?"

Lee Yo-won replied, "I know there was a period where she didn't study hard. So, I told her that this was the result of that. She has to deal with the disappointment herself, and since other kids probably put in more effort, what else can I say?" she said, drawing laughter.

Regarding how she would handle her daughter being sad over a breakup, Lee Yo-won said she would tell her, "He was going to leave anyway. Your connection with him ends there. He said he doesn't like you, so you have to let it go. What else can you do?"

Lee Sang-min then asked, "I heard your eldest daughter is preparing for something again now that she's graduating from college." Lee Yo-won laughed and replied, "What? Preparing to attack?" She continued, "It's hard to find a job these days, so she hasn't found one yet. But my eldest isn't the type to say, 'I'll do my best.' She's the type to just give a vague answer and leave it at that." She added, "So I gave her the smallest room, like a studio apartment, and told her to figure it out herself. I'm trying not to nag her and let her feel the reality of it. Wouldn't her younger siblings look at her with such pity?" which surprised everyone.

Lee Yo-won added, "Her siblings would ask, 'Noona, aren't you working part-time? Aren't you getting a job?'" and continued, "There's no allowance, either. If she needs money, she has to earn it," showing her 'T' personality and drawing attention.

She continued, "I talked about it this morning, too. The youngest is worried, asking, 'Can Noona really sleep in that middle room? Shouldn't she at least get a part-time job? Shouldn't she get a job and move out?'" Lee Yo-won said, "When I told my daughter that, she said, 'Mom, even if I get a job, I'm not moving out.' She knows how hard it is to live on your own. She knows that living expenses are high, so she finds it more comfortable living with Mom."

To this, Lee Sang-min remarked, "Isn't that why Tak Jae-hoon still lives with his mom, because it's comfortable?" Upon hearing this, special MC Kang So-ra covered her mouth in surprise and asked, "Do you still live together?" Tak Jae-hoon joked, "It's better than living with a random woman," adding that his mother does everything for him, making it as comfortable as a hotel, which caused an explosion of laughter.

Also, on this day, Lee Yo-won honestly shared that she got married without knowing much and swept up in the atmosphere, and that she hopes her children will live for themselves during their 20s. She also mentioned that her youngest resembles her in facial features, while her second child resembles her the most in personality. When Lee Su-ji asked, "What if the second one also gets swept up in the atmosphere?" Lee Yo-won replied, "I raised her well so that wouldn't happen," drawing laughter.
