“Without His Consent”—Lee Si-young’s Post-Divorce Pregnancy Shocks Netizens

Actress Lee Si-young has announced that she is expecting her second child following her divorce. Her affection for her son has also captured public attention.

On the 8th, Lee Si-young revealed that she is currently pregnant with her second child after implanting an embryo that was frozen before her divorce. As the storage period for the embryo was nearing its expiration, she decided to proceed with the implantation without her ex-husband's consent.

Lee explained, "I have always longed for children and did not want to repeat the regrets I felt through Jung-yoon. I couldn't bring myself to discard the embryo as its storage period was ending." She added, "The only thing that kept me going through a difficult marriage was the angelic child who filled me with happiness, hope, and inspiration," expressing that the joy her child brings motivated her decision.

She further shared, "Looking back, the most precious thing in my life has always been my child. The miraculous times that filled my incomplete life and gave me strength I didn't know I had, make me feel like my life is finally becoming complete." She expressed gratitude for the new life and mentioned she is experiencing a peaceful and happy time.



After marrying her ex-husband, Lee Si-young had a son named Jung-yoon. She has openly expressed her deep love for her son on social media.

Notably, when Jung-yoon was six, Lee Si-young climbed Hallasan Mountain with him on her back, which became a topic of discussion. Some criticized the act as potential 'child abuse' due to the risk of accidents and the long duration the child had to be carried. However, Lee clarified that she had checked her son's willingness and did not climb to the summit according to his condition.

Last year, she and her son attempted to climb the Himalayas, and they are currently spending a month living in the United States. Recently, they drew attention by appearing together at the filming location of the web variety show 'Jjanhyung Shin Dong-yeop'.

Currently, Jung-yoon attends an international school in Songdo, Incheon, known for its tuition fees exceeding KRW 600 million (approx. $450,000 USD) for the full high school program. Lee Si-young has shown her 'devoted mother' side in many ways.

Meanwhile, Lee Si-young's announcement of her 'second pregnancy after divorce' has elicited mixed reactions from netizens. Some find it difficult to understand her decision without her ex-husband's consent, while others praise her courage and support her choice.
