Singer Baek Gi-sung and show host Lee Eun-bi openly revealed the pain of infertility and their desperate desire for a second child through a broadcast. The couple captured the viewers' attention by showing their honest feelings and strong will to conceive.
On the 9th, in the TV Chosun entertainment program 'Joseon's Lovebird', the couple appeared and had a sincere conversation with Shin Hyun-seop and Yoon Jung-soo. On that day, Baek Gi-sung shared their love story from their first meeting to marriage with his 12-year younger wife. He said, "I was attracted to my wife’s intellectual side as she read a paper newspaper and read 60 books a year during our dating period, and I was convinced that marrying her would make my life smarter," explaining the background of his decision to marry.
Now in their 9th year of marriage, the couple shed tears as they shared their realistic concerns about having a second child. Baek Gi-sung explained, "We attempted IVF due to our late marriage, but my wife was struggling too much, so I could no longer push her." In response, wife Lee Eun-bi showed tears, saying, "I'm worried that my husband might leave before me. I'm afraid of being left alone with just the child."
The couple, who earnestly sought help from a clinic specializing in infertility, continued their candid 'real talk' in front of the expert. In particular, Lee Eun-bi asked shocking and specific questions that prospective parents might be curious about, such as "What are the optimal frequency and methods for intimacy to achieve efficient conception?" and "How should we manage after conception?", leaving Baek Gi-sung flustered.
The acupuncturist advised, "Considering age, 'selection and concentration' according to ovulation days is necessary," adding, "Above all, the encouragement from the wife to the husband is important." Since their marriage in 2017, the couple has been loved as a representative celebrity couple, and viewers are continuing to support their proactive steps towards having a second child.
