Shim Ha-eun, wife of former national team football player Lee Chun-soo, made the heartfelt decision to homeschool their twin sons, sharing the news on Nov. 3 via her personal social media account. She posted a photo of the twins with the caption, “We start home care from today: we will do well until the warm spring.” The decision appears to stem from the couple’s desire to provide a stable and stimulating environment for their children’s development and education.
The couple recently shared on their YouTube channel that they moved house to better accommodate their children’s school needs. “We moved to be closer to our eldest daughter Joo-eun’s school and the twins’ daycare is also nearby,” they explained. When asked if the move was far away, Shim responded: “Just one subway stop from here. We’ve moved about seven times so far.”
Reflecting on their heartwarming story, Shim Ha-eun told a touching story: “When Joo-eun was seven, she told her grandfather, ‘Mommy said we’ll live here until the twins turn seven.’ When he asked her why, she said, ‘Because Mommy’s tired of moving.’ Shim added, “But here we are, moving again a year ahead of schedule. We’ve lived well and we’re grateful. We’ve been married 13 years and this is our eighth move.”
Shim and Lee Chun-soo married in 2012 and have three children: a son and two daughters. Their eldest, Joo-eun, recently made headlines for her academic achievements. In May, she was accepted into Johns Hopkins University’s prestigious Center for Talented Youth (CTY) program, open to only the top 10 percent of gifted students in the U.S. education system.
In July, he earned a perfect grade on the U.S. AP Psychology exam. Most recently, Joo-eun was recognized as the top student at ICS International School, where she continues to excel academically.
As the couple continues to prioritize the well-being and education of their children, this latest decision reflects a deep commitment to family values and long-term stability.
