After experiencing three miscarriages, Big Mama Lee Young Hyun wrote THIS song to dedicate to the child that she hoped to come.
On March 12, E-channel and Channel S's variety show "Diva Sisters Season 2" aired its latest episode, featuring the first meeting of the existing members Lee Young Hyun, Lee Ji Hye, Narsha, Chae Ri Na, Ivy, and ChoA. There, they talked over food at the karaoke, and as the topic got heavier, Big Mama Lee Young Hyun opened up on the pain of her past miscarriages.
Lee Young Hyun Reveals She Wrote 'Dreamer' Amid Hopes to Have Baby After 3 Miscarriages
The members mentioned the personality of Lee wherein she might look strong on the television, but behind the camera, they attested to her softer side.
Hearing this, Lee Young Hyun admitted it herself.
"I may be big, but I'm a baby inside."
She then recalled her emotional meeting with Lee Ji Hye when she found out about her pregnancy.
"To be honest, I cried a lot when I came home after touching my unnie's belly in 'Same Bed, Different Dreams' filming. At the time, I tried to get pregnant with my second child, but it didn't work out.
I conceived my first and second child with artificial insemination, but before that, I resent the world, saying, 'I wanted a baby so bad that it never came.'
After touching my unnie's baby bump, something (feeling) came to me. We cried together when we were in the test room because she knows (the pain)."
The veteran singer then revealed the pain of losing her three babies in miscarriages and with the hope of having her second baby, she wrote the song, "Dreamer," released in 2021.
Lee added:
"I became pregnant not long after that. I wrote a song called, 'Dreamer' (Will You Come To Me') with my hopes for a child. I was anxious. I was anxious because everything was unstable in the world.
It comes and goes, and even if I told them not to go, the child will go. I had miscarriages three times. It wasn't easy."
Lee Ji Hye empathized with her and confessed that she also suffered miscarriages twice for a reason she didn't understand.
Narsha then comforted her older sisters by saying that there must be several reasons causing it, and it wasn't their fault.
"It's not just about managing women."
