Actress Lee Si-young has directly confessed to the fact of her second pregnancy after her divorce, drawing attention for her unprecedented choice in the domestic entertainment industry. This is an unprecedented case where an embryo created through in vitro fertilization was independently implanted after the divorce to achieve pregnancy.
On the 8th, Lee Si-young said through her social media, "I am currently pregnant. I want to take this opportunity to clarify things to prevent misunderstandings and speculations that may arise in the future."
Lee Si-young mentioned, "While preparing for the second child through in vitro fertilization during my marriage, time passed without implantation, and eventually, discussions about divorce naturally occurred," adding, "As all legal relationships were coming to an end, the expiration date for the 5-year frozen embryo was approaching. After contemplating whether to discard it, I ultimately decided to proceed with the implantation myself."
She added, "The other party did not agree, but I will take full responsibility for the decision," and said, "I did not want to repeat the regrets I felt through Jeong Yoon and was reminded again of the reason for being a 'mother.'"
Lee Si-young's choice is a shocking act that shakes existing notions. The decision to independently implant an embryo and achieve pregnancy after divorce is an extremely rare case not only in the entertainment industry but also in society, and it may serve as a catalyst for various discussions in the future.
Meanwhile, Lee Si-young married businessman Jo Seung-hyeon, who is nine years her senior, in 2017 and gave birth to a son in 2018. However, they parted ways after eight years of marriage through a divorce agreement in March.
Netizens expressed deep sympathy and support for Lee Si-young's confession, saying, "A courageous choice that no one else can replace," "I can feel the sincerity toward the child," and "The name 'mother' is more than just a title."
