Won Jin-seo, wife of entertainer Yoon Jung-soo, disclosed experiencing severe swelling and intense headaches while undergoing IVF treatment. The former sports reporter shared these physical hardships during a hospital encounter with actress Hwang Bo-ra, who is also documenting her own journey to conceive a second child.

Won Jin-seo, the wife of entertainer Yoon Jung-soo, has opened up about the hardships of undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment as she prepares for a child. She confessed to experiencing severe swelling and intense headaches amidst her earnest efforts toward pregnancy.

On the 20th, a video was released on actress Hwang Bo-ra's YouTube channel documenting her own journey of preparing for IVF to conceive a second child. After multiple attempts, Hwang confirmed the presence of follicles and continued her pregnancy preparations by receiving ovulation induction injections and growth hormone injections. However, her body did not always cooperate, and she revealed the physical changes she experienced during the procedure, such as severe facial swelling and skin troubles.

While visiting the hospital, Hwang encountered an unexpected person: Won Jin-seo, the wife of entertainer Yoon Jung-soo. Won was also undergoing IVF treatment while preparing for a child with her husband. As both were working toward the same goal, they naturally shared the symptoms and difficulties they were facing during the procedure.

When Hwang lamented that she swells only after receiving growth hormone injections, Won immediately empathized. "It swells a lot. My head hurts so much," Won said, revealing that she is also suffering from edema and headaches. The moment highlighted that the process of preparing for pregnancy is not merely about visiting the hospital but can also place a significant burden on both the body and mind.

In particular, symptoms experienced during IVF can vary depending on an individual's physical condition and the specific treatment process. While the conversation between Hwang Bo-ra and Won Jin-seo revealed the realistic difficulties faced by those preparing for pregnancy, it is important to inform medical staff and receive proper evaluation if severe headaches or sudden swelling occur.

Won Jin-seo, a former sports reporter, became married to entertainer Yoon Jung-soo. The couple held their wedding in November 2025 and are reported to have completed their marriage registration prior to the ceremony to begin preparing for a child. They are continuing their journey to welcome a child after forming a new family.

Hwang Bo-ra is also documenting her experience through video as she challenges IVF for her second pregnancy. The sight of the two women, undergoing the same process, meeting at the hospital and empathizing with each other's symptoms created a sense of connection by showing the realistic concerns of those preparing for pregnancy.

The process of waiting for a child is not filled with only anticipation and excitement. This is because one must endure repeated procedures, physical changes, and the time spent waiting for results. As interest grows regarding the hardships Won Jin-seo disclosed, support continues to pour in, hoping the couple can take care of their health and achieve the desired result.
