Sayuri, 'Unmarried Mother,' has parted ways with Gangnam

'Voluntary Single Mother' Sayuri has revealed the reason she cut ties with Kangnam.

On the 16th, Channel A's 'Best Friend Talkumentary - 4-Person Table' (hereafter '4-Person Table') featured Sayuri, who invited Han Groo, Jung In, and Kangnam.

During the show, Sayuri mentioned, "I had a boyfriend I really liked, but we broke up. He was a lawyer who loved rugby. I truly loved him," referring to her ex-boyfriend before becoming a single mother.

She continued, "I kept saying I wanted to get married, but he ran away. My mom said, 'If the other person doesn't want to get married, insisting on it is violence,'" revealing that she was dumped.

Sayuri explained why she chose to become a voluntary single mother: "Right after the breakup, I couldn't go on blind dates or meet other men. I didn't want to build a family with someone I didn't love. But I wanted to have a child quickly." She added, "When I went to the gynecologist for a blood test, they said I was at risk of early menopause. It felt like I was in a tunnel, everything went dark. I thought I should try everything I could."

Sayuri's mother found the sperm donor in Japan. Sayuri said, "You choose the donor by looking at their childhood photos. He had dark hair and brown eyes. They also show allergy information in advance. You can see EQ and IQ as well." She added, "The donor's personality was described as someone who sees things through to the end."

Sayuri gave birth at 40. She said, "I hid my pregnancy because they said there was a 70% chance of miscarriage. If I had a miscarriage, I would be in a situation without a husband, so I kept it a secret."

Sayuri also revealed how she first met Kangnam. She said, "I first saw him at a hair salon. Anyone could tell he was Japanese, so I asked if he was Japanese. We became close right away, calling each other brother and sister."

Sayuri also talked about why she cut ties with Kangnam for seven years. The two were so close that they would talk on the phone for 2-3 hours a day. Sayuri said, "We were almost like lovers," but she didn't attend Kangnam's wedding.

Kangnam recalled, "Suddenly, Sayuri stopped contacting me. I just left it alone. Then, for seven years, there was no contact. I didn't know she was upset. Seven years later, I met her in a waiting room and said, 'Long time no see, sis.' But she had a sullen expression."

Kangnam explained why Sayuri was upset: "I was hospitalized due to a car accident and couldn't take calls because I was in pain." Sayuri added, "I kept calling for months because I was worried. After a month with no contact, I got upset. I cared that much."

Sayuri concluded, "If we hadn't met then, we might have lost contact for 10 years. I didn't expect him to get married so early."
