YouTuber 'Honorary British' Baek Jin-kyung spoke out regarding the controversy over her planned childbirth in the UK.

On the 12th, Baek Jin-kyung posted on her personal social media: "Why is it such a big issue that I'm giving birth in the UK? My husband is British and I live in London. What about those who say, 'She's doing this to get British citizenship'?"

Baek Jin-kyung continued, "The UK does not follow jus soli; even if you give birth on British soil, at least one parent must be British for the child to obtain citizenship. Jus soli applies only in the United States. It is truly strange and disgusting that people are claiming she's doing this so her 'Half Korean Half British' baby can get citizenship or something like that," expressing her anger.

Baek Jin-kyung, who married her British husband three years younger than herself in March 2023, is expecting her first daughter and will give birth in December. Currently five months pregnant, she recently appeared on a YouTube channel and stated, "I plan to give birth in the UK, not in Korea."

However, some netizens expressed various reactions regarding Baek Jin-kyung's plan to give birth in the UK, particularly concerning the child's acquisition of citizenship.
