On the 8th, Lee Si-young shared, "I am currently pregnant. I wanted to share this news myself to prevent any misunderstandings or speculations that might arise. Eight years ago, when I was expecting my first child, Jung-yoon, I was unmarried and filming a drama. I was younger and lacked experience. As I watched Jung-yoon grow, I regretted the times I spent with anxiety and negativity. I promised myself that if I were blessed with another child, I would not repeat those regrets."
She continued, "During my marriage, I prepared for a second child through IVF. However, time passed without implanting the embryo, and discussions of divorce naturally followed. As our legal matters were being settled, the five-year storage period for the frozen embryo was nearing its end. Faced with the decision to discard it, I chose to proceed with the implantation. Although my partner did not agree, I am prepared to bear the responsibility of my decision. I have always wanted another child and could not bring myself to discard the embryo."
Lee Si-young added, "What kept me going through a difficult marriage was my angelic child, who filled my life with happiness, hope, and inspiration. Being called 'mom' feels like my life's purpose. Despite potential challenges and considerations, I believe my decision is worthwhile. Looking back, my children have always been the most precious part of my life, filling my incomplete life with miraculous moments. I am grateful for this new life and am experiencing peace and happiness like never before. I will humbly accept any advice or criticism and strive to provide for my child with a deep sense of responsibility."
In response to Lee Si-young's pregnancy announcement, her recently divorced close friend, Ki Eun-se, showed her support with a 'like'.
