Actress Lee Si Young, who recently went through a divorce, has announced that she is currently pregnant.

On July 8, Lee Si Young took to her personal Instagram account to share her pregnancy as below:

Hello, this is Lee Si Young.

I am currently pregnant.
The reason I am taking this opportunity to tell you first is because I believe it is better to prevent any misunderstandings or speculation that may arise in the future.

Eight years ago, when I was expecting Jeong Yoon (Lee Si Young’s first child), who is now the most precious being in my life, I was not yet married and was filming a drama at the time.
Back then, I was younger and much less mature than I am now.
And as I watched Jeong Yoon grow year by year in my arms, I spent a long time regretting and blaming myself for the moments I spent with anxiety and negativity, even if only briefly.
Because of that, I promised myself that if I were ever blessed with another baby, I would never repeat those same regrets.

During my marriage, I prepared for a second child through IVF treatment.
However, a long time passed without actually having the fertilized embryo implanted, and naturally, discussions about divorce also began to take place.
Around the time when all legal matters were being settled, the five-year storage period for the frozen embryo was coming to an end, and I was faced with a decision. Just before the embryo was to be discarded, I made the decision myself to have it implanted.
Although the other party did not agree, I intend to fully bear the weight of the decision I made.

I have always longed for a child, and I never wanted to repeat the regrets I felt with Jeong Yoon. I simply could not bring myself to discard the embryo whose storage period was about to end.

Even during the difficult times in my marriage, the only thing that kept me going was the presence of my angelic child, who filled my life with happiness, hope, and inspiration.
It is because of this miracle of a child, who makes me feel that being called “Mom” is the very reason for my existence.

There may be many challenges ahead, and I have considered all the possible scenarios, but even so, I want to believe that the choice I am making now is the more meaningful one.
I also believe that this decision will be a significant one in my life.
Looking back, what has always been most precious to me has been my child.
Through these miraculous moments that fill the gaps in my imperfect life and give me strength I never knew I had, I feel that my life is finally becoming more complete, little by little.

Right now, I am filled only with gratitude for the new life that has come to me, and I am spending my days more peacefully and happily than ever before.

I will humbly and gratefully accept any criticism or advice you may have for me in the future.
And with a heart full of gratitude for the baby who has come to me once again despite my many shortcomings, I will live my life with deep responsibility, doing my best to ensure that my child lacks nothing, even as a single parent.

Thank you for reading this long message.

Wishing Lee Si Young all the best and blessings for her courageous decision!
