Actress Lee Si-young deleted a post in which she confessed to her second pregnancy, while quietly sharing her daily life and updating on her situation.
Previously, Lee Si-young announced through social media on the 8th that she is "currently pregnant," revealing that she implanted an embryo from in vitro fertilization, which she attempted during her marriage, alone immediately after her divorce.
She stated, “The other party did not agree, but I intend to fully bear the weight of the decision I made.” Along with this, she expressed her determination, saying, “I will live responsibly so that my child lacks nothing, even on my own.”
Her agency also confirmed to OSEN that “It is true Lee Si-young is recently pregnant,” acknowledging that the father of the second child is her ex-husband, but stated a desire to refrain from mentioning specific personal matters.
However, as the fact that the in vitro implantation was done without the ex-husband's consent became known, discussions surrounding legal issues and bioethics ensued online. Experts raised issues regarding embryo ownership rights, recognition procedures, and custody responsibilities, while Seo Hyo-rim, Jeon Hye-bin, and Bae Seul-gi left supportive comments. Additionally, Dean, former Crayon Pop member ChoA, Swings, Gi Eun-se, and So Yoo-jin showed their support for Lee Si-young's courageous choice by liking her post.
But, perhaps due to the ongoing debate, Lee Si-young eventually deleted the post in question. As of the afternoon of the 10th, the post in which Lee Si-young announced her pregnancy is no longer visible on social media.
However, on that day, she posted another message. Without any particular comment, she shared a photo of herself visiting an art exhibition with an acquaintance, capturing attention.
Meanwhile, Lee Si-young married a businessman nine years her senior in 2017, gave birth to her first son the following year, and finalized her divorce after eight years of marriage earlier this year.
