Seo In-young says she does not feel ready to have children
South Korean singer Seo In-young says she does not feel able to have children after hearing how hard her stepmother worked to raise her and her younger sister.
She shared her thoughts in a video filmed during a trip to Okinawa, Japan, with her mother and sister.
Seo said she had struggled as a teenager because she could not see her biological mother, and described that as a lasting hurt.
Her stepmother said she had tried to raise the girls well and was moved when Seo called her the person she most respected.
The family conversation showed how their relationship changed over time, from Seo's difficult teenage years to her gratitude as an adult.
Seo is planning to remarry a businessman this year; she previously married in 2023 and divorced in 2024.
The reports give no further details about her plans for children.

What people are saying
I thought even more that raising a child is not easy, and I can't have one.
I thought, why was I born? I hated the whole world.
It was a wound.
I don't know how perfect a mother I can be, or whether I can raise them even like my mother did, even if not perfectly. I can't do it.
