'Parents of multiple children,' actors Ji So-yeon and Song Jae-hee, have released first birthday photos featuring their twin sons.

On the 18th, Ji So-yeon shared her heartfelt reflections through a lengthy post accompanied by numerous birthday photos.

Ji So-yeon said, "I had long wanted to capture our family of five at this special place we've always dreamed of visiting together. In truth, the decision to take these first birthday photos was made quite hastily. I even debated whether to hold a celebration or simply let the day pass quietly, but then suddenly, that feeling came over me." She continued, "For mom and dad, it may just be one ordinary day among many, but for Doha and Leha, this is their very first birthday—the only one they will ever have. Thinking of that made me feel unexpectedly sorry toward both children."

She added, "It hasn't been easy since I carried the twins. Carrying a single life is already like a miracle; having two tiny lives grow together inside me was something I felt grateful for yet also approached with daily caution and fear. I must have prayed countless times that both children would be born healthy." She went on to say, "These are the children we waited and longed to meet. Yet now that I am a mother of three and continue working without being able to step away, there have been many days when I couldn't hold them as much as my heart desired."

Ji So-yeon shared, "While watching their sleeping faces, I often thought to myself, 'I should have held them a little longer today.' or 'I should have made eye contact just a bit more.' There were many days when I felt sorry for not doing enough. Perhaps that will continue in the future." She expressed her hopes: "I pray that our children won't only be happy when given favorable circumstances, but become people who can find happiness even within challenging situations and choose their own joy. May they learn to feel grateful even on imperfect days, smile again when things don't go as planned, and grow into children who offer love first rather than waiting for someone else's affection. With such earnest prayers and anticipation, the two children I waited for have now grown up wearing hanbok with bright smiles, and Ha-el has become a big sister holding her younger siblings."

She concluded, "Doha, Leha, I sincerely congratulate you on your first birthday. Thank you for coming into our lives. And I am truly grateful that even my imperfect days as a mother can be filled alongside you. We want to remember this moment of our five forever."

Meanwhile, Ji So-yeon married actor Song Jae-hee in 2017. After overcoming infertility, she welcomed her first daughter and later embraced her twin sons.
