Actress Lee Si-young is expecting her second child—just four months after finalizing her divorce.

💬 A decision she made alone

On July 8, Lee revealed her pregnancy, sharing that she chose to undergo embryo implantation shortly after her divorce was finalized. According to insiders, her ex-husband initially opposed the decision but later respected her choice.

📝 A heartfelt post on Instagram

Lee reflected on becoming a mother for the first time:

"Eight years ago, I welcomed my most precious being, Jung-yoon. I wasn't married at the time and was filming a drama," she wrote.

She also shared her regrets:

"Every time I looked at Jung-yoon, I was filled with guilt for the fear and negativity I felt during that time. I promised myself that if I ever had another chance, I wouldn't let myself feel that way again."

🧬 The choice to proceed with IVF

Lee had previously prepared for a second child via IVF while still married. However, the embryo was left frozen and unused for years. As her divorce wrapped up, the five-year embryo storage deadline approached. She then made the decision—alone—to go through with the implantation.

She wrote,

"Although my ex did not agree with the decision, I've chosen to carry the full weight of this on my own. I truly believe this was the more meaningful choice."

❤️ Living with peace and gratitude

Lee concluded with a heartfelt message:

"This may be the most meaningful decision of my life. I'm endlessly grateful for this new life and spending each day with peace and happiness."
