Hwang Bo Ra previously revealed her concerns that she might not even be able to get pregnant. So, it was especially exciting when she confirmed the pregnancy reports in a YouTube video.
Because I am 40, I visited the doctor at the thought of becoming pregnant, and as expected, the results weren’t very good. The doctors told me that to receive experimental or surgical treatment, I would have to be legally married.
