After broadcaster Sayuri frankly shared her thoughts on the public's view of a "voluntary single mother," she again sparked discussion by revealing a family photo with an "AI husband." Netizens continue to send support for Sayuri's firm philosophy toward her son Jen.
On the 29th, Sayuri posted on her SNS several photos along with the caption, "I took Jen's 753 photos." The released photos showed Sayuri and her son Jen wearing the Japanese traditional garment kimono, holding hands and smiling brightly. She explained, "In Japan, 3- and 5-year-old boys and 3- and 7-year-old girls wear kimonos and take photos," adding, "This is Jen's 753 photo and a family photo of ours."
She went on to say, "Some people say Jen is pitiable because he doesn't have a father. They also say a child born this way is not happy," and noted, "But each time I don't deny it and just smile it off. I know other people's opinions mean nothing." She added her conviction: "If Jen is happy, that's the right answer. You don't live to look happy to others; you live to be happy yourself."
On the 16th, Sayuri posted another SNS entry with the caption, "I made a husband with AI," and revealed a new family photo. In the photo Sayuri and Jen stand wearing kimonos, and an "husband" generated by AI is naturally composited beside them, drawing attention. Each photo featured men of different races and vibes, signaling a playful setup, but overall they created a harmonious atmosphere like an actual family photo.
Earlier, Sayuri revealed an "AI boyfriend" photo and candidly said, "He's totally not my type," eliciting laughter, and on the same day she shared photos of a Hokkaido trip with comedian Tanaka, conveying a cheerful update with a "rental boyfriend" concept.
Netizens responded with support, saying, "What matters more than whether a father exists is that the child is loved and grows up well," "Her heart for Jen is so admirable," "It's lighthearted but the message is weighty," and "A child raised by a mother like this could be truly happy."
Meanwhile, Sayuri received sperm donation in Japan in 2020 and, while unmarried, gave birth to her son Fujita Jen. After appearing on KBS2's The Return of SUPERMAN and other shows, she has shared daily life with Jen and earned widespread sympathy for her candid and confident way of living.
