In a separate Instagram post, Hyerim gave a brief update about her post-partum health, reassuring fans that she was healing fast.

Even though I had done it once when I was pregnant with Siwoo, for the last ten months, I’ve been worried and scared thinking about undergoing surgery. But I’m grateful that it ended safely.

…

More than anything, I am really relieved and thankful that I’m recovering even faster than when I was pregnant with Siwoo.
