Actress Lee Jung-hyun (44) gave birth to her second daughter.

On the 18th, Lee Jung-hyun personally shared the news of her birth on her Instagram with the message, “I gave birth safely on October 30th. Bokdeungi and I are both really healthy. Thank you to everyone who worried about me and supported me.”

She then added, “Following my first daughter Seo-ah, I also visited a famous doctor and a respected professor for my second daughter Bokdeungi. I was worried because of my age, but I’m so grateful that he helped me give birth healthily.”

She also said, “This time, I recovered faster than my first daughter Seo-ah, so the hospital staff were all surprised. There was no swelling,” and “I was able to walk right away. The surgery went so well that I didn‘t have much pain, so I skipped more than half of the pain injections.”

Lastly, she expressed her feelings by saying, “I respect all the mothers in the world.”

Lee Jung-hyun married an orthopedic surgeon who is three years younger than her in 2019. Afterwards, she gave birth to her first daughter, Seo-ah, in 2022, and shared her parenting routine by appearing together on the KBS2 entertainment show, “Convenience Store Restaurant.”
