Actress Lee Si-young, who recently welcomed her second daughter after her divorce, has drawn significant attention for her choice of an ultra-luxury postpartum care center, with prices reportedly reaching up to 50 million Korean won.

Lee Si-young announced the birth of her daughter, nicknamed 'Sikssiki,' on her personal social media on the 5th. She shared photos of her holding her newborn at the hospital, glimpses of her recovery at the postpartum care center, and a heartfelt letter to Professor Won Hye-seong of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Asan Medical Center who delivered her baby.

The postpartum care facility Lee Si-young chose, located in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, is making headlines for being the most expensive in the country. Reports indicate that the lowest price for a standard two-week stay is around 12 million Korean won, with the highest tier exceeding 50 million Korean won.

This high-end care center has become a trendsetter for ultra-luxury postpartum care in affluent areas of Seoul, including Gangnam and Yongsan. It's reported that numerous celebrities have previously used this facility for their postpartum recovery. Notable figures include couples like Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, Lee Byung-hun and Lee Min-jung, Yeon Jung-hoon and Han Ga-in, Ji Sung and Lee Bo-young, Park Shin-hye and Choi Tae-joon, and Jang Dong-gun and Go So-young.

Other celebrities who have utilized the center include Kim Hee-sun, Kim Sung-joo, Taeyang and Min Hyo-rin, and Sean and Jung Hye-young. Industry insiders suggest that the facility offers a private recovery period, complete with personal gardens, spas, and dermatology services, making it ideal for celebrity couples seeking to avoid public exposure.

Lee Si-young married a restaurant entrepreneur nine years her senior in September 2017 and welcomed her first son, Jung-yoon. However, she announced her divorce in March after eight years of marriage. In July, she revealed her successful pregnancy, explaining that she had used frozen embryos created during her marriage, which she decided not to discard despite the divorce. It's reported that her ex-husband initially did not consent to the embryo implantation, but the process was legal, and he has committed to fulfilling his duties as the biological father of both children post-divorce.

Korean netizens expressed congratulations on the birth of her second daughter, with many commenting on the shocking price of the postpartum facility.
