Lee Si Young Receives Scathing Backlash After Seemingly Getting Caught Drinking Alcohol While Pregnant
Actress Lee Si Young‘s pregnancy is once again at the center of a controversy.
On July 28, KST, the actress posted a series of photos from a recent New York trip on her personal Instagram account. In the caption, she provided a detailed recounting of her five-hour limousine tour around the iconic landmarks of the city— from Madison Square Park to the Brooklyn Bridge and more.

However, the post unexpectedly became the source of a controversy since some of the videos showed Lee holding what looked likes a glass of champagne inside the limousine. Given her very public pregnancy, netizens were quick to raise concerns about her judgment.
Lee’s pregnancy has already been a topic of public debate. Earlier this month, Lee announced her second pregnancy, revealing that she had conceived the child through IVF. However, her admission that the IVF procedure was done without the consent of the father, her now-divorced husband, brought her scathing criticism.

Given these circumstances, the criticism against the actress was harsher after the supposed pictures of her drinking champagne. The backlash grew serious quickly, prompting Lee to address it immediately.
In an attempt to clarify her stand, Lee revealed that the beverage she was drinking in the photos was non-alcoholic champagne.
Despite the clarification, the issue has divided netizens, with some supporting her right to have fun responsibly and others raising questions about her setting bad public precedents.
