Singer and TV personality Lee Ji-hye said her younger daughter transferred from an English-language preschool to a public kindergarten after the preschool announced it was shutting down.

A video titled “Why Lee Ji-hye’s daughter transferred to a public kindergarten after giving up English preschool? (Early English education)” was posted on March 26 to her YouTube channel, “밉지않은 관종언니.”

Lee said she received a notice from the English preschool attended by her second daughter, Ellie, saying the school would close. “Tae-ri (my first daughter) graduated from there, and Ellie naturally went there too, so when I heard it was going away, I panicked,” she said.

Lee said the English preschool assigned homework such as reading vocabulary words. She said Tae-ri followed instructions without much difficulty, but Ellie “absolutely didn’t want to do it.” Lee added that she decided it was not the right age to force her to do things she disliked, and began looking into public kindergartens.

After Ellie moved to a public kindergarten, Lee said she was pleased with the change. “After switching kindergartens, Ellie started washing her hands on her own, eating on her own, and even learned to greet people,” she said.
