Ailee Opens Up About Her Love for Choi Si-hoon and IVF Journey

Singer Ailee candidly shared her affection for Choi Si-hoon.

On the 16th, the YouTube channel 'Illine's Marriage Diary' released a video titled 'The Importance of Exercise Before IVF Transfer!'.

In the video, Ailee posed the question, "What would you do if you were offered 10 billion won (approximately $7.5 million) to not see someone for a year?" She admitted, "10 billion won is a lot. If I could have fun with that money later, I might be able to endure it, even though I'd miss them."

However, Ailee added, "I couldn't do it if it meant not seeing my baby for a year, even for 100 billion won. I'd rather my husband go instead," she laughed. Choi Si-hoon humorously responded, "What if I come back after a year and the baby calls someone else 'dad'? I realized my position now," causing laughter.

Ailee shared her recent experience after undergoing egg retrieval while dining with her husband, Choi Si-hoon.

Ailee explained, "After the egg retrieval, I wasn't in severe pain, but my body was swollen and gassy. The medication instructions mentioned a possible weight gain of 2-3 kg, and it happened. The most challenging side effect was constipation," she revealed.

Choi Si-hoon expressed his concern, "I thought a walk might help with circulation, but my wife was in too much pain to walk, so we returned home," he explained. Ailee added, "It varies for each woman. The body's response can differ depending on how many eggs are retrieved."

The couple is also focusing on fitness for a healthy pregnancy. Choi Si-hoon shared, "The gynecologist advised that increasing muscle mass and managing weight before pregnancy can make it easier afterward." Ailee agreed, "I realized the need for exercise. I feel my legs weakening when I walk," explaining her motivation to start working out.

Ailee married Choi Si-hoon, a businessman known from Netflix's 'Single's Inferno,' in April last year. The couple is currently preparing for a baby through IVF and focusing on health management.
