Lee Hyori’s Journey to Parenthood: A Candid Reflection
In 2020, singer and entertainer Lee Hyori made headlines during her guest appearance on MBC’s “Hangout with Yoo” as part of the project group SSAK3. During the show, she openly shared her aspirations for motherhood, humorously requesting a box of pregnancy tests as a parting gift, signaling her desire to start a family.
Upon her return on the show with the group “Refund Sisters,”Hyori disclosed a more serious note about her family plans: “This is a secret, but I’m preparing for pregnancy. I think I need to let the members know. The group will disband as soon as I get pregnant.” This lighthearted remark included a humorous contract clause highlighting her readiness for motherhood.
Facing the Challenges of Infertility
However, two years later, Lee Hyori appeared on MBC Every1’s “That Man Who I Remember,” where she candidly discussed her struggles with infertility. “I don’t want to go as far as trying IVF. If it happens naturally, I’d be grateful, but it’s not easy,” she expressed, shedding light on the emotional complexities surrounding fertility.
Her Desire for Children
On the JTBC variety show “Mom, Will You Go on a Trip with Me?,” Hyori shared poignant reflections while watching children during an outing. She remarked, “It would be nice to have a daughter like that, already grown up.” Despite her mother’s encouragement to consider starting a family, Lee Hyori felt time was against her, stating, “I can’t now; it’s too late.”
Her mother pressed, “You should at least try as hard as everyone else before saying it’s not possible,” but Hyori reiterated her unwillingness to resort to IVF, emphasizing her preference for a natural approach to conception.
Family Dynamics and Insights from Her Mother-in-Law
Recently, an insightful conversation took place on the YouTube channel “Life is Nothing Special,” featuring Lee Hyori’s mother-in-law, Yoon Jeong-hee. When asked about her feelings regarding the possibility of grandchildren, she shared, “It would be nice to have grandchildren. It’s a good thing, but I’ve come to terms with it now because we’re getting older.” She added, “When I visited their new house after they moved, it was so spacious and beautiful. I thought, ‘It would be perfect for a child to grow up here.’”
Lee Hyori acknowledged her mother-in-law’s sentiments, responding with, “You’re right, Mother.” With humor, her mother-in-law quipped, “While I’ve given up, I don’t know if they’ve given up on having a child.”
Insights on Lee Hyori’s Character
Reflecting on her first impressions of Hyori, her mother-in-law noted, “Her first impression was good, but because she’s so famous, I felt a bit burdened.” However, she continued, “But she has a way of being honest and creating a comfortable atmosphere. She speaks openly without holding anything back,” easing her initial concerns about Hyori’s celebrity status.
When asked about their relationship dynamics, Lee Hyori’s mother-in-law observed, “From what I see, Hyori seems to love him more. My son doesn’t show his emotions much, but Hyori expresses her feelings 100%. You can tell everything just by looking at how she talks and looks at him.”
Interestingly, in a previous episode of KBS’s “The Korean Table,” Yoon Jeong-hee gained attention for her culinary skills, having learned to cook from natural food researcher Park Jong-sook. Hyori’s mother-in-law expressed, “Because Hyori practices vegetarianism, I wanted to prepare natural dishes for her.”
