Lee Kyung-sil and Jo Hye-ryun made pointed comments about marriage and childbirth. On the 15th, in the YouTube program "New Women," Jo Hye-ryun and Lee Kyung-sil discussed the topics of marriage, childbirth, and the conditions for a spouse. Jo Hye-ryun, acknowledging the current issue of low birth rates in society, stated, "I understand the various concerns such as worries about the future, economic issues related to making a living, and the costs associated with having and raising children, but in my case, I came to understand life only after giving birth to a child."
Jo Hye-ryun shared, "I had a very difficult time giving birth to my first child. And my thoughts about my mother changed. That's why I gave my mother 10 million won." She continued, "It was even harder when I had my second child. I thought about my mother again, so I gave her another 10 million won. Now, my mother asks when I will have a third child," she said with a laugh. Lee Kyung-sil agreed, saying, "I came to understand life while raising my children." She added, "As I have experienced love and worry for my children, my pride has diminished, and I think I have become a better person," and mentioned that when it comes to the conditions for a spouse, "While financial stability should be considered, the fundamental aspect is that they love me." She went on to say, "Do not harbor the illusion that your partner will change after marriage. It’s important to recognize rather than criticize."
On this day, Lee Kyung-sil commented on the financial conditions for a spouse, saying, "As long as they are economically independent and not overly reliant on me, that’s sufficient." She emphasized that in life, one person may succeed while the other does not, and vice versa. "If I do well, I appreciate it; if not, I feel sorry for them, and that’s how we support each other," she stated firmly. During the episode of "New Women," Jo Hye-ryun shared the reason she sang at a wedding, their ideal types, and their real-life family stories, revealing honest experiences and insights drawn from their own journeys.
