Korean Rapper Swings Opens Up About Vasectomy and Reversal: 'I Changed My Mind About Having Kids'

Korean rapper Swings has addressed the rumors surrounding his fertility.

On the October 9th episode of the SBS variety show 'But Seriously!', Swings appeared as a guest and clarified the speculation about his fertility. He revealed, "About eight years ago, I made a significant decision. I decided I would never have children, so I went to the hospital and had a vasectomy." This period coincides with his public relationship with actress Lim Bora, which began in 2017 and ended in 2020.

However, Swings shared that his perspective changed two years ago. "Suddenly, I felt the desire to have children. It doesn't mean I'm planning to start a family immediately. Maybe it's a hormonal change, but kids started to look adorable to me," he explained.

Following this change of heart, Swings underwent a vasectomy reversal. He recounted, "I had to be in an embarrassing position during the surgery. I hoped the nurses would be male, but they were all female. Just before the surgery, one of them said she was a fan, which made it even more awkward. After the surgery, despite being in pain, I signed an autograph."

Swings also shared his experience of visiting another clinic to confirm the success of the reversal. "The restroom was shared with other offices, so I hid my face, worried someone might recognize me," he admitted.

Addressing the rumors of infertility, Swings said, "I briefly mentioned this on YouTube, and people started teasing me, calling me a 'seedless watermelon.' Initially, only about eight sperm were visible in the test, and the doctor said it would be difficult to have children. However, when I returned six months later, the test showed a significant increase in sperm count."
