Netizens Enraged After Top 2nd Generation Idol Reveals Her Husband “Tricked Her Into Marriage”

Singer and actress Son Dambi recently sparked heated reactions online after revealing in a candid interview that she initially had no plans to have children, but her husband, former speed skater Lee Kyu Hyuk, had secretly wanted kids all along.

Son Dambi opened up about her family life on a YouTube talk show. She disclosed that when she and Lee married in 2022, the couple had agreed to live as a DINK (Dual Income, No Kids) household.

“Originally, we planned to live as DINK. My husband is five years older than me, and we thought it would be fine to spend our later years just the two of us. However, about a year into their marriage, Lee began subtly expressing his desire to have children, initially disguised as joking comments during drinking sessions. At first, I thought he was joking and brushed it off lightly, but he was serious.”

Netizens reacted strongly to the revelation, accusing Lee of deceiving Son Dambi and pressuring her into motherhood. Some sympathized with Son Dambi’s situation, noting her emphasis that she currently has no plans for a second child, citing her age and the slim chances of conception. She stressed that her husband wants a second child, but she does not.

The disclosure has ignited discussions across social media about marital expectations, consent, and the pressures surrounding parenthood. They called out her husband for deceiving her.

• Although she probably got pregnant after some discussion, for me, I’d have just gotten divorced. If he was going to do that, then he should not have gotten married in the first place. What is he thinking, agreeing that they’d be DINKs then bringing it up later? I f*cking hate it.
• I think that it’s possible to get pregnant by chance later on even if you agreed on bing DINKs, but he enticed her to marry him promising to be DINKS, then after they got married, he made her undergo all those medical tests and procedures. That’s really evil of him. It’s basically fraud. He doesn’t care if the other party suffers as long as he gets what he wants. A totally selfish mindset.
• He totally tricked her. You can see right through him.
• There’s so many men like that… At least Lee Kyu Hyuk has money. There’s so many men who are greedy for children but don’t have assets.
• She probably agreed to some degree and gave birth. Why is everyone yapping about someone else’s matters?

Son Dambi and Lee Kyuhyuk welcomed their first daughter via IVF in April this year.
