As hard as climbing to heaven! Korean media ranks four K-celebrity couples who desperately want to get pregnant but can not!

In recent years, the birth rate in Korea has been decreasing. Apart from some people who decided not to have babies due to economic pressure, there are also many who want to have but cannot. On the 22nd, Korean media compiled four artist couples who openly share their struggles with infertility.

Firstly, Park Soo-hong, who married his wife 23 years younger only in 2022, and his wife Kim Da-ye, who underwent fallopian tube photography for pregnancy, also said on the show, "It hurts like being torn apart."

The two appeared on the KBS variety show "Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant" on the 21st, unexpectedly revealing their current state of infertility. Park Soo-hong said, "I didn't think getting pregnant would be so difficult." Kim Da-ye also chimed in, "Before marriage and even a year after marriage, I thought 'as long as you're prepared, it will be easy'. But when we really started trying, we found it wasn't as simple as we had imagined." Therefore, in the end, they decided to try IVF.

Another celebrity couple is Lee Hyori and Lee Sangsoon. Lee Hyori has been discussing pregnancy-related topics since three years ago. When she was shooting MBC variety show "Hangout With Yoo?" in 2020, she mentioned that she was taking herbal medicine. Although Yoo Jae-suk and Rain were quite surprised, Lee Hyori said, "We've been married for eight years, it's natural to talk about pregnancy."

However, Lee Hyori revealed her infertility in last year's TVING variety show "Seoul Check in". When Kim Jong-min asked Lee Hyori, "Don't you want to have children?", Hyori responded, "Although I want to, it's not as simple as you think due to my age".

Next up are the singer Lyn and her husband ISU. Lyn confessed on last year's MBC variety show 'That Oppa Who Runs a Spicy Rice Cake Shop' that she isn't intentionally childless. On the contrary, she's been trying hard, even resorting to in-vitro fertilization which unfortunately has failed several times. She also revealed that she once had an ectopic pregnancy, which ended with her shedding tears on the show and leaving everyone around her heartbroken.

Actress Min Ji-yeong and her husband Kim Heung-joon (temporarily translated) once revealed that they discovered they had cancer while undergoing IVF treatment. Hence, they continued the treatment after cancer therapy. She also mentioned having a uterine adenomyosis, making it incredibly difficult to conceive. They have even experienced multiple miscarriages. Min Ji-Yeong stated during their trip to the USA, "Maybe we might even end up as a celebrated couple, but people change. We didn't seem to make any decisions, nor did we want to."
