Actor Lee Si-young confessed to feeling uncomfortable about leaving for a trip while her father is in poor health.
On the 11th, a video titled "Life bucket list: a 5-night, 6-day Kilimanjaro roundup feat. Ro Hong-chul, Kwon Eun-bi" was uploaded to the 'Ppushiyoung' channel.
That day Lee Si-young said, "In a few days I'm going to Kilimanjaro. I don't know why this time I'm uneasy right up until leaving. I used to always get very excited whenever I traveled or went somewhere, but this time my mind is very unsettled before going" she said, sharing her complicated feelings.
She said, "Originally, (Kwon) Eun-bi and (No) Hong-chul oppa and I became connected and decided to go somewhere very arduous, difficult and extreme every January. We thought that if we went through that and returned physically exhausted, we would be very grateful for the year. With that intention, our non-trip trip itinerary began," and opened up, "Somehow this time going feels really uncomfortable. The truth is I went through a very hard time last year."
She continued, "I thought I was very strong, but when a family member is sick, all your life collapses. Isn't that always the case? You think parents will never get sick, but when you face a situation you never imagined, our family all went through a hard time. Of course we are overcoming it now, but I was almost full-term and I stayed at the hospital as a caregiver for a week. Looking back now, that time was actually so happy. I think it was the first time in my life I stuck with my dad all week and talked so much. It felt like the time we talked the most," she said, describing her father's poor health.
Lee Si-young said, "My father couldn't sleep for almost seven days. It wasn't a situation for sleeping, so we stayed up almost all night and developed a kind of comradeship. Normally, the day before surgery doctors come and warn that blood clots can form, put on socks and tell you to keep blood circulating. So before the operation I gave my father a complete massage. I gave him a foot massage, and his expression looked so relaxed and he seemed so happy. At that moment I cried a lot. Because my son is a bit short, I always give him a foot massage every night before bed, from the calf to the foot, without missing a day. But with my father, that was the first time in my life I had ever done it. While massaging him, I felt so sorry and regretful when that thought came to me," she choked up.
She said, "Anyway, that time was so precious to me, and it was actually really good for prenatal care. Although I slept on the sofa for a week, that time was very comfortable and I was very happy. Because of these series of events, this time I feel uneasy about going on a trip. Is it right to go now? But Hong-chul oppa and Eun-bi had made plans a year ago, and on the other hand I wanted to go to the high mountains to pray for my family's health and to shake off the bad things that happened to me personally, so these two feelings coexisted strongly," she said, expressing her conflict.
She went on, "Decisively, my parents told me not to worry about the baby and that they would take good care of him for ten days, so go and come back safely. They said they hoped I would also leave behind a lot of bad things and have a good time, to take some personal time and return, so on the other hand I thought, okay, let's go. My mom, dad and brother will pray for the baby and our various wishes and we can start the year energetically, healthily and happily," she said, saying she ultimately decided to go to Kilimanjaro with her parents' encouragement.
She added, "When it came time to actually leave, I felt unsettled. But Hong-chul oppa, who always gives me positive energy, is going with me, and although she's much younger than me, I really learned a lot from Eun-bi even when we went to the Himalayas — her grit and perseverance. So I thought going with these two would be a great journey for me, and I plan to go and come back in good spirits. Of course I have a feeling this will be the hardest place I've ever been to and I'm anxious, but I'm sure I'll gain and learn something. I'll capture the most beautiful, impressive images I can. And Hong-chul oppa, Eun-bi and I will become better people and return. I'm very nervous but I'll do well," she said.
Meanwhile, Lee Si-young married a businessman nine years her senior in 2017 and had a son, but she divorced last March. After the divorce, controversy arose when she implanted a frozen embryo that had been stored for in vitro fertilization without her ex-husband's consent. At the time, Lee Si-young's ex-husband said that aside from not consenting to a second pregnancy, he would fulfill his responsibilities as a father, and Lee Si-young gave birth to a second daughter last November and is currently raising both children alone.<
