Park Ji-yoon recently announced on her SNS that she is having a busy day taking care of hospital tours and various administrative procedures ahead of her daughter's study abroad in the United States. The expression ‘Mom’s card never stops’ revealed in her writing does not simply mean overspending, but seems to be a humorous expression of the huge unexpected costs and practical burdens that arise in the process of preparing to study abroad. Considering that the daughter's journey as she was preparing to enter medical school was mentioned in the past, this trip to the United States is interpreted as a challenge to the wider world for the child's career. As a parent, her desire to provide a better educational environment for her children was enough to attract the public's attention, which naturally led to a high public interest in her daily life.

The reason why this incident had such a big impact on the public is the change in her personal environment and her life after divorce. Through her unusual daily hardships, the public sees that the life of a celebrity is not much different from the worries of ordinary parents when it comes to raising their children. In particular, the fact that she takes meticulous care of her child's study abroad despite her busy schedule of living in Jeju Island and traveling back and forth to Seoul proves the amount of responsibility she has. Some people are arguing against her, calling out her views on private education or her past remarks, but this can actually be said to be a clear example of how parents' dedication and choices toward their children are judged by external perspectives.

Park Ji-yoon’s case makes us think again about the symbolic meaning of ‘Confucianism’ in modern society. Beyond simply moving for school, the psychological and economic pressure that arises at the point where the parents' economic capabilities and the child's future value intersect is a common task faced by modern parents. The joking exhortation she gave to her daughter, “Be filial”, is probably a message of earnest hope that studying abroad is not simply an expense that will break the parents’ backs, but that the child will fulfill her role as a member of society in the future. This type of communication is consumed by the public as interesting gossip, but behind it is a universal family narrative that deals with trust and expectations between parents and children.

In addition, the comment that she felt when she left her life in Jeju and visited Seoul, “Everyone is just a booger,” can be read as a paradoxical expression of the narrow space and lack of leisure in a big city. This is an honest expression of the parents' desire to show the wider world to their child who has made the big decision to study abroad, and at the same time, the honest feelings about their own lives that they have to endure to support the process. Because she is a celebrity, her every move is covered and interpreted extensively, but in the end, the entire process does not deviate from its essence as a ‘process of growth’ to raise a child as an independent individual. The public is peeking into the lives of others in these trivial daily lives and projecting their own views on parenting and education.
