Hyumin's mother who is trying to make him become a doctor. To that end, she’s order her son to take unprescribed medications to help him stay more focused, to dire consequences. It’s gonna take some serious dedication from the TRPA to save her son before it’s too late.
*** Even when she has a mental breakdown, almost stabs Hwajin, and sees a video of her son’s withdrawal breakdown, she still continues to believe she’s done no wrong and nothing is bad with planning out his future with the same education she’s forced on her kid. It takes one more ReasonYouSuckSpeech from Hwajin to finally hit her thick skin in order to force her to accept her breakdown from her cruel parenting is no different from what her son suffered through.

** Once her son is forced to be admitted into the hospital, she’s ordered to stop giving him the drugs, but it doesn’t stop her from giving him a huge pile of textbooks, just soshe's trying that he’ll study even more for college admission. But he refuses to study unless she gives him more drugs, and she complies with this!

* SkewedPriorities: She reprimands her son for not working on the last mock exam, right after he collapsed from his drug addiction. Rather than get him help, she refuses to take him to a hospital and tries to force him to finish his tests. Hanrim calls her out on this, pointing out that Hyunmin is in no condition to so much as study, but she tells Hanrim to mind her own business.
* SurprisinglyNormalBackstory: Once we look into her backstory, turns out what drove her to be an EducationMama is because growing up, she’s never stood out in grades or appearances, attended an average university, got an average job, and married at an appropriate age with a simple proposal. Because her life was so boring and uneventful, it drove her to make her sonenter in her place. have a very successful life.
* FreudianExcuse:
** She’s such an extreme [[EducationMama tiger mom]], to the point of getting her son, Hyunmin, hooked on over the counter medicine. Hyunmin eventually got addicted, and she refuses to see anything wrong while not caring of the side effects.
** Once called to his school due to collapsing from the drug’s side effects and extreme fatigue, she refuses to take Hyunmin to a hospital, screams at him for ditching the last mock exam and tries to forcibly drags him out of the nurse’s office to finish his class. It’s a good thing Hwajin and Hanrim stop her and have paramedics take Hyunmin to the hospital.
** She
** When Hwajin has a his own mock exam for Hyunmin, he points out that the drugs are not the solution to help since he still failed the exam. She proceeds to hit more onto Hyunmin while chewing him out for wasting away her money on the drugs. This is the final straw for Hwajin, who proceeds to make her [[ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine go through the same education she’s forced on her son]].
* DidntThinkThisThrough: She believed in an online’s mother’s support group that taking [=ADHD=] medicine not prescribed by her or her child’s doctor would help her child do better in school. It doesn’t even cross her mind that her son could drop dead at any moment due to the drug’s reputation of being very dangerous when used repeatedly. Once her son’s drug addiction comes to light, TRPA and doctors reprimand her due to the medications being banned in South Korea due to its severe side effect.
* BlatantLies: Her son’s doctors reprimand her for making her son addicted to unprescribed drugs, especially with the kind that are banned in an entire country. It doesn’t take long for her to secretly take her son out and give him back the drugs, “claiming” the doctor sad something.
* EducationMama:
** Very much so. She’s gotten so fixated on her son’s education that she’s forced him to repeatedly use drugs to help him stay more focus.
** She’s enforced into Hyunmin that he must grow up either as a webtoon artist or programmer when he was an elementary or middle schooler. Until she’s settled on forcing him to go to medical school. She’s has no problem with beating it into him, to the point of forcing him, who has just awoken from a drug collapse, to go back to class to finish his last mock exam instead of taking him to a hospital.
** Hwajin has enough of her stance and [[ArmourPiercingQuestion asks her point blank if it’s her son’s dream or HER dream to get into medical
