On March 18, actor Jin Tae-hyun addressed the growing number of suggestions he has received encouraging IVF procedures.
Previously, Jin Tae Hyun and his wife Park Si-eun had touched many hearts after revealing they decided to give up on having a biological child following three miscarriages.
Since then, the couple has continued to receive direct messages recommending IVF clinics, but Jin Tae Hyun firmly and politely declined those suggestions.
He shared, “If we had wanted to rely on medical procedures, we would have done so long ago. Even now, I love my wife more than the idea of having a child, so I have no intention of putting her through physical or emotional hardship.”
Instead, the couple chose a different path, having previously adopted their first daughter and recently welcoming two more daughters into their family, forming a new kind of household through adoption.
Jin Tae Hyun is not the only celebrity to speak candidly about IVF. Singer Lee Hyori also shared her honest stance when asked about having children.
At the time, she stated, “I don’t want to go as far as IVF. If a child comes to us naturally, I would be truly grateful and raise them with care,” expressing her preference for a natural process.
Meanwhile, Kim Jong-kook, who got married last year, revealed a similar viewpoint regarding parenthood.
Through his YouTube channel, he explained, “Natural pregnancy may be less physically demanding for my wife. I’ve heard IVF can be very painful for women,” clarifying why he leans toward natural conception.
As the ways of starting a family continue to diversify, celebrity couples are choosing paths that align with their personal values and circumstances.
In an environment where different choices are increasingly respected, support continues to pour in not only for couples who pursue IVF, but also for those who consciously decide not to.
