After more than five years of marriage, Jiwoo and her husband, who is not a public figure, have continued to be admired by fans for their simple yet heartwarming married life. On May 5 this year, the couple celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary with an intimate evening at home, surrounded by carefully prepared bouquets of flowers, a beautifully decorated cake, and precious moments shared between just the two of them.

Reflecting on the special day, Jiwoo wrote emotionally, “Just sitting side-by-side, looking in the same direction while chatting away about everything and nothing.” However, what touched readers the most was the wish she made while blowing out the candles: “The wish I made while blowing out the candles—small yet so big: Please let there be a little ‘mini-me’ joining us for our anniversary next year.”  The simple yet heartfelt wish immediately resonated with many people!

As fans already know, j-hope’s older sister has been on a journey to have a child for about a year. Rather than keeping the process private, Jiwoo has recently chosen to openly share her IVF journey with her followers. Every update has been met with an outpouring of encouragement from ARMYs around the world, who have been hoping she would soon achieve her dream. Unfortunately, the latest news Jiwoo shared was not the happy update many had been wishing for.

In her latest YouTube video and community post, Jiwoo revealed that her second embryo transfer had been unsuccessful. About two weeks earlier, she uploaded a vlog documenting the process of undergoing her second embryo transfer after her first attempt had failed. At the time, Jiwoo explained that although the two embryos transferred were not of the highest quality, she entered the procedure with hope and received tremendous support from her husband, family, friends, and colleagues. At the end of the video, she said she would have to wait about four to five days before taking a pregnancy test.

In her next video, Jiwoo shared that she took a pregnancy test a week later, but the result was negative, meaning that the second embryo transfer had also failed. She admitted that although she had mentally prepared herself for any possible outcome, she still spent an incredibly difficult week feeling devastated and disappointed, and it took her a long time to come to terms with the reality. It was only one week after taking the test that she felt emotionally stable enough to share this latest update with her fans.

Jiwoo also revealed that her recent health checkup showed that her thyroid levels had become problematic again, similar to the condition she experienced last year. As a result, she has decided to focus on adjusting her lifestyle and taking better care of her health before continuing her pregnancy journey. At the same time, despite facing consecutive disappointments, Jiwoo emphasized that she has no intention of giving up. She plans to undergo IVF once again at the end of the summer while prioritizing both her physical and mental well-being.

In another post, she also expressed her thoughts, writing: “By prioritizing my mental well-being and physical health and waiting with a peaceful mind, maybe one day my husband and I will receive good news too. That's the happy thought I'm holding onto... haha. And even if things don't work out that way, my husband and I are already very happy together as we are. I've decided not to become overly consumed by the process, and I hope you can understand that as well. As always, I'll continue sharing my self-care journey and all the useful tips I've discovered along the way!”

Immediately after the video and post were published, Jiwoo’s comment section was quickly flooded with encouraging messages from fans around the world. ARMYs expressed their hopes that she would take good care of herself, remain strong, and believe that her “little version” would arrive at the right time in the future. Many fans also expressed admiration for the way she is putting her sadness aside and choosing to focus on herself, writing:

- My dear, my heart feels and prays for you, so that the deepest desire in your heart may be fulfilled
