Former national rhythmic gymnast Son Yeon-jae has revealed her 7.2 billion won newlywed home for the first time and opened up about childbirth and parenting.

On the 20th, a video titled ‘Gymnastics Fairy Son Yeon-jae, Who Became a Mother,‘Newlywed Home First Revealed’ was uploaded to the YouTube channel ‘Not-Hateful-Sister-in-Law’.

On this day, Lee Ji-hye visited Son Yeon-jae‘s newlywed home with her husband, tax accountant Moon Jae-wan. The high ceilings and neat white interior created a modern yet luxurious atmosphere, drawing attention.

Son Yeon-jae revealed about meeting her husband, saying, “We met through a blind date. We went to the wedding hall about a year after we met. We met while preparing for the wedding.”.

When Lee Ji-hye asked Son Yeon-jae what it was like being married, Son Yeon-jae said, “Before I had a child, there wasn’t much difference between being married and not being married, and it was fun. My husband and I rarely fought. However, after giving birth, every dawn is a battle,” she confessed.


Son Yeon-jae revealed that she had a son through natural childbirth, saying, “My close friend told me she had a natural childbirth, so I did too. I suffered from labor for 16 hours, and the baby came out 3 weeks early. I actually gave birth in 30 minutes.”

She continued, “After giving birth, I cried for 2 weeks at the postpartum care center because my stomach hurt so much. The aftercolic was really painful. It felt like the labor pains were continuing, so I thought it would be better to have the baby. That’s why I had to keep taking painkillers.”

When Lee Ji-hye asked if she wanted to have another child, Son Yeon-jae said, “I’m an only child, so I thought it would be good to have brothers or sisters, but I’m not sure if that’s good for me. “I think kids will be good,” she answered honestly.

She then said, “Actually, I decided to have two. My first child is a son, and if my second child is also a son, I wonder what will happen to me. I don‘t think three will work. I have a daughter, so even if we fight, we call each other, but even if I look at my husband, he doesn’t act like we‘re close. I think it would be good to have a daughter.”

Meanwhile, Son Yeon-jae married a man in the finance industry who is 9 years her senior in 2022 and had a son in February of last year.
