Ryu I-seo, the wife of Shinhwa member Jun Jin, said she is pursuing in vitro fertilization at age 43.
A video titled, “Why the lovebird couple Jun Jin♥Ryu I-seo began preparing for pregnancy at 43,” was posted March 31 on the YouTube channel “My Love Ryu I-seo.”
Asked about her goals for the year, Ryu said, “I’m currently preparing for pregnancy, so I’m doing IVF. I’m going to retrieve eggs one more time and try implantation.”
When Jun Jin asked whether the IVF process was difficult, Ryu replied, “I lived comfortably when I was younger, but even if it’s a bit hard now, I think it’s only natural, so I don’t feel like it’s hard.”
She added, “I hope the baby looks like my husband, and only the personality takes after me,” expressing affection for him.
Ryu said she decided to try to become pregnant after Jun Jin went to the hospital last year because he was ill. “Seeing him in so much pain, I thought, ‘If this person dies, how will I live?’” she recalled. “I thought if I had a child who resembles him, I could endure it. I suddenly became scared, and I seriously brought up pregnancy with my husband.”
Jun Jin and Ryu married in 2020. The couple also discussed plans for a child during an appearance last October on broadcaster Jang Young-ran’s YouTube channel.
