Ailee & Choi Si Hoon Address Sudden Pregnancy Rumors
K-Pop sensation Ailee and her fiancé Choi Si Hoon recently found themselves addressing an unexpected wave of pregnancy rumors, bringing to light a deeply personal journey they’ve been documenting for fans. The couple shared their candid feelings during a video posted on their YouTube channel, titled “Honey, they say it’s the Maldives of Japan…”, offering a glimpse into their lives and the truth behind the speculation.
The video captured Ailee and Choi Si Hoon enjoying an early summer vacation to Miyakojima, Japan. Ailee humorously set the scene, revealing her mixed feelings before departure: “We’re going to play in the water, but it’s been raining until the day we arrive back in Korea.” Their trip, intended for relaxation, soon took a turn for the unexpected.
Upon their arrival in Miyakojima, the pouring rain complicated their hotel check-in. Amidst the downpour, the two sought refuge and food, eventually finding what they thought was a shabu-shabu restaurant. However, upon sitting down, they realized their mistake – shabu-shabu wasn’t on the menu. Choi Si Hoon had accidentally entered the wrong establishment. After a quick, unplanned meal, they finally made their way to their original culinary destination. Ailee light-heartedly shared a detail about Choi Si Hoon’s persistent efforts to find good food, noting, “Since we’ve been going through IVF and had some failures, we’re trying to make my body healthier, and he feeds me various things. But I’ve gained 2 to 3 kilograms.”
The Truth Behind Ailee’s Weight Gain: An IVF Journey
It was this recent weight gain that sparked the sudden pregnancy rumors. Choi Si Hoon expressed his frustration, stating, “Gaining a little weight is fine. But then these pregnancy rumors started, and although I’m not the one involved, I got angry.”
He delved deeper into their emotional journey, explaining, “We’ve been through so many tough moments with IVF. We’ve documented everything on YouTube—even though it’s a difficult process—because we wanted to create lasting memories and be grateful if good things happen.” His voice carried a bitter undertone as Ailee added, “People might not know. They might not know what we’ve been through. During IVF, you’re supposed to gain weight and get healthier, but it was so tough and stressful that I kept losing weight.”
Navigating Misinformation and Public Reaction
Choi Si Hoon further clarified the situation, emphasizing Ailee’s current state: “She’s in the recovery phase now, eating well, and getting her health back. It’s a time she needs to recover. Maybe the reporter didn’t know and wrote the article carelessly, but writing that she’s pregnant is uncomfortable.”
Ailee, with a touch of humor, quipped, “Haven’t you gotten a lot of congratulations?” Choi Si Hoon confirmed the surprising number of well-wishes he had received: “My friends keep congratulating me. Even yesterday, two people did. A company CEO came and said, ‘Congratulations on Ailee’s pregnancy.’”
Cool and collected, Ailee concluded with her straightforward truth: “I’m eating a lot of delicious food and getting healthier. As I eat more regularly, I did gain weight. That’s a fact.” Choi Si Hoon firmly backed her up, declaring, “If someone criticizes her for gaining weight, they’re basically asking for a barehanded fight.” Their candid discussion not only debunked the rumors but also shone a light on the often-unseen struggles couples face, fostering deeper understanding and empathy from their fans.
