Insights from Lee Sang Soon's Mother

Reflecting on her initial encounter with the beloved star, she expressed, 'When Hyori first visited our home, I was charmed by her as she is the woman my son adores. However, being a major celebrity did make me feel a bit anxious.' She praised Hyori’s forthrightness, saying, 'She’s incredibly honest and has a natural way of putting everyone at ease. Her openness makes it easy to embrace her.'

Desire for Grandchildren

The topic of grandchildren inevitably came into play. 'Of course, I dream of having grandchildren, but I’ve come to terms with the reality,' confessed Lee Sang Soon's mother. During a recent visit to their spacious and beautifully decorated home, she told Hyori, 'A baby would be a perfect addition here,' to which Hyori playfully agreed. 'You're so right, Mother,' she replied. However, the mother expressed uncertainty about whether the couple has truly given up on the idea of expanding their family.

Lee Hyori's Candid Remarks on Motherhood

Lee Hyori has been candid about her longing for children in the past. Back in 2020, while appearing on MBC's 'Hangout with Yoo' as a member of the popular group SSAK3, she laid bare her hopes of conceiving, even humorously requesting a box of pregnancy tests as a farewell gift. Later, she made headlines again, confessing, 'It’s a secret, but I’m preparing for pregnancy. If I am successful, this group will disband immediately,' indicating her commitment to starting a family.

Challenges of Infertility

Fast forward two years, and Hyori bravely opened up about the challenges of infertility during her time on MBC Every1's 'That Man Who I Remember'. 'I don't want to resort to IVF. If I conceive naturally, it would be a blessing, but the journey has been tough,' she revealed, striking a nerve with many couples facing similar struggles.

Wistful Aspirations

In May 2023, on JTBC's 'Mom, Will You Go on a Trip with Me?', Lee Hyori shared her wistful desire while watching children play. “I’d love to have a daughter who’s already independent and thriving,” she said with a hint of nostalgia. When her own mother prodded her to consider having children, Hyori responded candidly, 'It’s too late now.' Yet her mother encouraged her to put in the effort before letting go entirely, reminding her, 'You should at least try as much as others do.'

A Journey of Love and Resilience

Despite these gentle nudges, Lee Hyori remained steadfast, reiterating her stance against IVF treatments, emphasizing her preference for a natural journey towards motherhood.
