Singer Gummy opens up about balancing music and raising two daughters

During a KBS Cool FM broadcast on the 9th, singer Gummy revealed she has been skipping breakfast and eating only two eggs due to the difficulties of balancing her musical career with raising two daughters.

Singer Gummy has revealed her busy daily life balancing work and parenting two daughters. Her confession that she recently fulfilled her schedule after eating only two eggs and skipping breakfast has drawn renewed attention to her recent appearance, which had sparked discussion for looking somewhat thinner.

Appearing as a guest on KBS Cool FM's "Paul Kim's Music Plaza" broadcast on the 9th, Gummy opened up about her life managing both childcare and musical activities. During the show, DJ Paul Kim asked about her recent status, noting that appearing on a lunchtime broadcast must not be easy.

“I am fine. Because of the children, I wake up early, so it is not an early hour. Even if I go to bed late at night, I wake up at 7:00,” Gummy replied. She further shared the realistic difficulties of continuing her activities while caring for two daughters, stating, “Balancing work and childcare is my issue these days.”

Her comments regarding meals, in particular, captured the attention of listeners. When asked if she had eaten lunch, Gummy candidly revealed, “I couldn't eat. I ate two eggs and couldn't eat breakfast. That is all I have eaten.” She explained, “I have been eating like this lately. I usually eat while moving in the car, but since I had to sing today, I ate like this.”

Gummy had recently drawn public attention for appearing somewhat thinner than before. The meal situation revealed during the broadcast highlights the difficulty of maintaining proper nutrition amidst a busy schedule. However, Gummy linked the decrease in her food intake to her daily routine of balancing childcare and professional schedules.

She also shared her two daughters' reactions to her new song, "Perfect World." Gummy mentioned that her eldest daughter initially did not want to listen to the song because she felt it was sad. However, after her kindergarten teacher played the song, she reacted that it was okay, and at some point, she began humming the song naturally.

Regarding her second daughter, who is currently 9 months old, Gummy said she "was listening quietly," drawing laughter. The different ways her two daughters receive her music added a sense of cuteness. Gummy's realistic parenting stories, as she lives both her life as a singer and a mother, added a warm atmosphere to the broadcast.

Gummy married actor Cho Jung-seok in 2018 and has two daughters. Having long been active as a representative vocalist in South Korea, she is continuing her musical activities through her new song "Perfect World" while also revealing her daily life as a mother raising two children. Gummy's busy days, managing both work and childcare, are garnering empathy and interest from fans.
