Popular Female Idol Sheds Tears While Admitting How Overworking Is Hindering Her Chances At Pregnancy

Being an idol is no easy task, and it is no secret that the often-grueling schedules leave many of these K-Pop artists with long-lasting physical issues. From digestion problems to chronic illnesses, many idols have come forward and shared their personal health struggles due to their hectic lifestyle. As it turns out, singer Ailee is no different either.

Recently, Ailee shared a video on her YouTube channel, documenting the changes in her daily life that she has embraced to conceive naturally. In the title itself, she implied that a natural pregnancy would be a “miracle” for her, but she was still doing everything in her power to make her body as healthy as possible to boost the chances.

Both Ailee and her husband, Choi Si Hoon, have been managing their diet and exercising frequently to prepare their bodies for natural conception. Choi admitted that the process wasn’t as easy as they expected, but they would still try till the end of this month. The couple was also candid enough to share that they were considering in vitro fertilization as a second option.

While watching videos of others planning for pregnancy, Ailee remarked, “Watching videos of people like me who have difficulty conceiving naturally made me empathize so much. Just thinking about it makes me tear up again.”

The idol then teared up, talking about how years of overworking had taken its toll quietly on her body.

Since my debut, I’ve never really taken a proper rest. Because I’ve been working all the time, continuously. So I feel so…Thinking, ‘Did I overwork myself?’I feel quite upset and I feel so sorry to you (Choi Si Hoon), too.

Choi, however, warmly reassured her that they could overcome the situation together.
