Lee Si Young sat down and talked about the behind stories of climbing Hallasan with her son on her back.

On January 23, Lee Si Young posted a new video on her YouTube Channel, LeesiyoungTV, where she shared some of the stories behind climbing one of South Korea's highest peaks.

In the video, she explained, "I went to see the first sunrise of the new year on Hallasan. But the director became worried saying 'The Hallasan episode flopped.' To be honest, we were prepared and if I get tired it was fine but we weren't able to predict Jung Yoon's condition and we don't know what variables will occur. So I was nervous too."

She continued to share, "In our perspective, we prepared fully. But I am a mom so I cared a lot about Jung Yoon's mood. That's why I asked (my son) are you cold? I wasn't even able to say the lines I had to say and only concentrated on Jung Yoon."

On this day, Lee Si Yeon revealed how she decided to go to Hallasan with her son on her back. She explained, "It was one of my bucket list things I wanted to do. I always wanted to go to Hallasan with Jung Yoon but realistically, I would have to wait at least 5 years. But I thought I should go with Jung Yoon when I am younger and at my healthiest." She continued, "Jung Yoon is 20kg now (~44 lbs). If he becomes heavier than 20 kg, I won't be able to hold him on my back even if I want to. I asked Jung Yoon 10 times and he said yes all 10 times."

Lee Si Young revealed that her son actually wanted to go to Paektu Mountain. She shared, "Jung Yoon actually wanted to go to Paektu Mountain, so we decided to go to Hallasan, which is easier than Paektu Mountain. We weren't able to reach the top but it was one of my happiest days of 2022. I won't forget it for the rest of my life."

In the video, Lee Si Young revealed the video recorded on December 31, when she was hiking up Hallasan with her son on her back. In the video, her son Jung Yoon became too cold and decided to trek down the mountain without reaching the peak.

Lee Si Young also explained the criticisms she faced as some netizens accused her of forcing her son to hike with her. She explained, "After everything, Jung Yoon also said, 'it was good and fun.' And he wasn't actually cold. He said he wants to go to another mountain. So I am thinking about bringing him to one that is easy enough for him to climb himself." She added, "I'm not going to force him to do it or anything. I will take him if he wants and if he becomes the age he can go."

Earlier, Lee Si Young garnered much attention after she revealed that she hiked up Hallasan with her 5-year-old son on her back on January 1.
