Singer Lee Hyori, who shared her values regarding in vitro fertilization, revealed a significant painting to express her thoughts.
Recently, a post titled 'If Lee Hyori's child comes naturally' gained attention on an online community. The content refers to Lee Hyori's plans for a second child, which she discussed while appearing on the MBC Every1 show 'The Oppa of the Tteokbokki House' in May 2022.
During the broadcast, Lee Hyori stated, "I don't want to go as far as in vitro fertilization. I don't want to rely on medical intervention," adding, "If it happens naturally, I would be very grateful to raise the child. I have someone around me who had their first child at 58, which gives me courage."
She also mentioned, "I want to experience the love and dedication that mothers have, but I have come to think that true love doesn't necessarily require having a baby," and expressed her desire to live like a mother to everyone, even if the child is not her own.
Following her remarks, netizens pointed out that her comments were disrespectful to parents undergoing in vitro fertilization, leading to a wave of indiscriminate malicious comments. Conversely, her supporters viewed it as her personal opinion and saw no issue with it.
In this context, on the 20th, Lee Hyori posted a photo of herself visiting an art museum on her SNS. Notably, the artwork she shared depicted a woman holding a baby, which drew attention. This led to reactions suggesting that she was indirectly conveying her feelings regarding the controversy surrounding her remarks on in vitro fertilization.
Lee Hyori added meaning to the painting by commenting, "It's so beautiful."
