Ahn Young-mi is gracing the cover of the October issue of ‘Housewife‘s Life’.

Ahn Young-mi, who celebrates her 20th debut anniversary this year, has been actively working since returning this spring after giving birth last year. She brings laughter and happiness to many people with her unique character, and she mentioned the source of her passion and energy, saying, “I gain strength again when I see people laughing at me. I feel a thrill when I see them immersed in my jokes with their eyes sparkling, and when I blurt out a line, I see their bright smiles.”

“After having a child, I have a clear goal of protecting this child. My heart has become more spacious,” she said, expressing her love for her son, Ttakkong. She also said that her work-related changes have occurred since her marriage and childbirth. “Before, I couldn’t watch entertainment shows because they felt like an extension of work, but these days, I watch them with an open mind while raising my children, and they‘re so much fun. “In the past, I would do something stronger and more intense to make people laugh, but now I try to approach it naturally,” she said.

She also shared her thoughts ahead of her first solo show. Ahn Young-mi will be holding the ‘Ahn Young-mi Show: General Audience (Heart) Show’ on November 2nd and 3rd at Baekam Art Hall in Seoul. “This is the first time in my life that I’m exercising leadership and doing what I really want to do,” she said. “I think I underestimated myself too much, so let’s challenge myself once, let’s try something different and fun, and we’re having a lot of discussions and planning.” “I used to have a big fear of failure, but now I have a bigger excitement for challenges,” she confessed.
