On July 28, Lee Si-young posted a series of images and a detailed caption on social media, recounting a five-hour limousine tour around iconic New York City landmarks. From Madison Square Park to the Brooklyn Bridge, Dumbo, and Wall Street’s Charging Bull, Lee appeared relaxed and joyful, enjoying the sights with friends.
However, several photos showing her holding what looked like a glass of champagne inside the limousine triggered backlash. Given her known pregnancy — especially after recently revealing she conceived her second child via IVF — netizens were quick to question her judgment.
In response, Lee Si-young swiftly clarified, stating, “It was non-alcoholic champagne.”
Despite her explanation, the incident ignited debate online, with opinions divided between those defending her right to enjoy herself responsibly and others expressing concern over setting public precedents.
Lee, who divorced restaurateur Cho earlier this year, is currently raising their son, Jung-yoon. Earlier this month, she made headlines for her decision to have a second child via IVF, a move she undertook without her ex-husband’s consent — a revelation that further amplified public scrutiny of her personal choices.
With this latest statement, Lee Si-young seeks to lay rumors to rest and shift the spotlight back to her positive experiences and the joy of embracing a new chapter in motherhood.
