South Korean actress Lee Si Young has shared deeply personal news—she is expecting her second child, this time through IVF. What makes this journey even more remarkable is that she’s doing it on her own. Despite the emotional and practical challenges, she made the choice to embrace pregnancy again because of her strong desire to become a mother once more.
On July 8, she opened up to her fans, who responded with heartfelt support and warm messages. In her emotional post, Lee Si Young revealed that while she had started preparing for a second child through IVF during her marriage to businessman Cho Seung Hyun, things didn’t go as planned. The embryo had been frozen, but as time passed and the couple’s relationship became strained, conversations about divorce began. Meanwhile, the five-year storage period for the embryo was coming to an end.
With the deadline looming and her marriage ending, she made a bold and personal decision to move forward with the implantation, even though her husband did not support it. She chose to take full responsibility, driven by her deep longing to experience motherhood again.
Lee Si Young also shared her regrets about how her first pregnancy unfolded. When she was pregnant with her son Jeong Yoon, it happened before her marriage, and she spent that time feeling anxious instead of joyful. This time around, she wants things to be different—she wants to feel peace, happiness, and love throughout the process.
She explained that even during the hardest moments in her marriage, it was her child who gave her strength and purpose. Being a mother, she said, is what gives her life meaning, and she’s ready to face whatever lies ahead with courage and love.
