Soyou opened up about her thoughts on marriage.
On the 10th, a video titled, 'Started giving advice to Soyou... but got counter-attacked' was posted on the Youtube channel 'Alddal Cham.'
In the video, Heo Kyungwan responded to Soyou's comment about giving up on marriage by saying, "As an Oppa, I'm against that."
He said, "The happiest time in my life was when I was 35. I felt everything was perfect. I didn't feel behind because of my age and I was so full of energy. Age doesn't matter for women. Honestly, you can do more bench press more than I can."
In response, Soyou replied, "It's not like I decided to not get married. My life goal was never to be a top star singer or the Beyoncé of South Korea. My dream was to become a good wife and mother." She continued, "Since I was young, I dreamed of a happy family. I wanted to have the smell of soybean paste stew ready when the family came home, having the kids calling 'Mom' as we ate, and just do housework and raise kids. But during COVID, I saw little kids saying things like 'We don't have masks,' and that made me realize I didn't want to bring children into a world like this."
She added, "I originally wanted to have kids early, so I planned to get my body in the best shape and freeze my eggs by the time I turned 30. But I later found out that it doesn't just end there, you have to give yourself shots in the stomach every day. I have a severe phobia of needles, so if I had to inject myself every day, I just couldn't do it."
Soyou stated, "If I'm not going to have kids, then why get married? Once I stopped wanting kids, the thought of marriage disappeared too." Sitting next to her, Heo Kyunghwan joked, "I've seen lots of people, both men an women, say things like that, but then they get married out of the blue."
Soyou clarified, "It's not that I don't want to get married. I just don't really think about it. But I do want to date."
