Kim Gyu-jin, the author of the essay "Unni, Will You Marry Me?", recently revealed that she became the first pregnant lesbian in Korea and shared an incident where she responded to malicious comments posted on a mom cafe.

On the 3rd, Kim wrote on her Twitter, "People lack imagination," adding, "There was a post on a mom cafe saying that lesbian childbirth is disgusting or something, so I commented, 'Hello, this is Kim Gyu-jin, did you forget that I am also a mom?' and they hurriedly deleted the post."

On the 29th of last month, Mr. Kim officially became the spouse of his same-sex partner, Kim Se-yeon, in New York, USA, in 2019. Last year, he successfully became pregnant through artificial insemination using donated sperm from an infertility clinic in Belgium.

Kim continued, "There was also a comment saying, 'Maybe because of being trapped in Confucian values, I don't think I can get close to homosexuals,' so I replied, 'Unfortunately, we are already in the same space,'" adding, "This person said, 'I hope you are not too hurt by my post,' and then deleted it."

Earlier, on the 29th of last month, Kim officially became a married couple with her same-sex partner Kim Se-yeon in New York, USA, in 2019. Last year, she successfully became pregnant through artificial insemination using donated sperm at an infertility clinic in Belgium.

On the 3rd, Kim wrote on his Twitter, "People lack imagination," and said, "There was a post on a mom cafe saying disgusting things about lesbian childbirth, so I commented, 'Hello, this is Kim Gyu-jin.

Kim, who is currently known to be residing in France, considered undergoing the procedure in Korea but gave up because it is difficult to find sperm donors, and sperm is only provided to legally married or de facto heterosexual couples.

Kim plans to enter a postpartum care center after giving birth to recuperate. However, since the couple is not legally married in Korea, they cannot enjoy legal protection or benefits as a couple or parents.

In a media interview, Kim said that if her child is bullied for "not having a father," she is even considering immigration, but she also said, "I still like Korea and have hope for Korea."
