Actress Lee Si Young has given birth to her second child a baby girl months after her divorce, and her choice of a high-end postpartum care center has become a major topic of discussion in Korea.
On November 5 , Lee shared several photos on her social media account, announcing the birth with an emotional caption: “I believe this child is a gift from God. I will make sure that Jungyoon and Siksiki are happy forever. I am deeply thankful to Professor Won Hyesung and will never forget this gratitude.”
The accompanying photos showed Lee holding her newborn daughter in the hospital, as well as a heartwarming picture of her first son, Jungyoon, who appeared proud and gentle as a new older brother.
She also posted a photo of her baby’s small hand grasping hers, captioned “Hello, my little angel.”
Lee Si Young married a restaurant entrepreneur nine years her senior in 2017 and gave birth to her first son the following year. However, after eight years of marriage, the couple officially divorced in March 2025 .
Following the separation, controversy arose when it was revealed that Lee had proceeded with implanting a frozen embryo created during her marriage, without her ex-husband’s consent . At the time, the five-year storage limit for the embryo was about to expire, leading Lee to decide between disposal or implantation.
Despite the divided public reaction, Lee’s agency clarified that no illegal procedures were involved, and her ex-husband later stated that he would fulfill his responsibilities as a father to their second child.
After stabilizing her pregnancy, Lee shared positive updates throughout the summer, including a trip to the United States with her son and the announcement that she was expecting a baby girl named “Siksiki.”
On November 5 , a representative from Ace Factory confirmed to OSEN: “Actress Lee Si Young has recently given birth to a healthy baby girl. Both mother and child are resting and recovering well. She plans to resume activities once she has fully regained her health.”
Fans also took notice of Lee’s surroundings in the photos, which appeared to be taken at a luxury postpartum care center in Seoul’s Yeoksam-dong district. The facility known as D Postpartum Care Center is often described as the most expensive in Korea , featuring private gardens, art gallery-style interiors, and hotel-level amenities .
According to reports, the center’s fees range from ₩12 million for two weeks to over ₩50 million for the most exclusive suite options. Numerous celebrity couples have reportedly stayed at the same facility after childbirth, including Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, Lee Byung-hun and Lee Min-jung, Ji Sung and Lee Bo-young, Kwon Sang-woo and Son Tae-young, and Taeyang and Min Hyo-rin.
While some netizens continue to debate the ethical questions surrounding her post-divorce pregnancy, many have expressed admiration for Lee’s strength as a single mother and her commitment to family.
Her touching posts, combined with her honesty and resilience, have led fans to flood her comment section with congratulations and well-wishes for both her and her newborn daughter.
