HaHa responds to questions about date of wedding and Byul's pregnancy
3:18 am - 02/13/2013Did HaHa go too far with his 19+ statement on ‘Moonlight Prince’?
HaHa had some frowning by being perhaps too open on ‘Moonlight Prince‘
Regarding his announcement a few weeks back about Byul being 3 months pregnant despite it being 2 months since their wedding (at the time), Haha clarified the rumors about a shotgun wedding.
The pair had often talked about how since Byul was a devout Christian, and didn’t believe in sex before marriage. However, the revelation that she was 3 months pregnant after having had their wedding ceremony 2 months ago had many questioning the issue. To explain himself, HaHa said, “It’s not that she got pregnant before we got married, but that she got pregnant before the ceremony. We registered our marriage beforehand.”
He also added that they hadn’t planned on having children right away, and in the process, revealed some details that viewers thought went too far for a public program. Haha stated, “We even avoided the date [of ovulation]. I poured out my strength on a safe day. We loved beautifully. We did it once, and she got pregnant.”
His statement caused viewers to frown. Many believed he was being insensitive to his own wife, who was a conservative Christian. Not only that, but they commented that he had gone too far this time, saying there were certain matters that should have remained private between husband and wife. People commented, “Children watch this broadcast… and what would your wife think…“, “Do you have to say it like that? Is there no privacy for your wife?“, and “This isn’t being honest, this is crossing the line“.
What do you think?

I think HaHa should have left out the ovulation part, but since we don't know Byul's reaction, I can't really say if he went to far.
Can HaHa get a tag please?
Ovulation takes place about from 4-8 days after your period ends. It's when you basically are able to conceive. Of course if you don't use protection and a guy comes inside, sperm can live for a couple of days or longer so if you just do it at the wrong time, you can get pregnant outside of that time, but it is pretty accurate.
why would your children watch this broadcast in the first place since it is rated 15+? and newsflash, netizen; married ppl have sex. it's not like he was describing how they're doing it and women ovulate; that shouldn't be a taboo or else that's just ridiculous
I hope she wasn't embarassed by it though, and I hope he knows her well enough to have been able to make that judgement wisely before he said anything
but the program is also wrong to ask this kind of question in the 1st place.
and the parent shouldn't allow their below 15 children to watch this show as well lol.
I mean, chances are reduced but unprotected sex= risk of pregnancy. If you want to have sex but don't want a baby there are these things called condoms that are pretty fucking effective.
Oh come on, Korea. Couples have sex before marriage. It's a perfectly normal, natural part of a healthy relationship. He didn't necessary need to get into ovulation and stuff but really? Is it really that big of a deal?
I wish these questions wouldn't get asked and it's kind of disrespectful to his wife for him to share that information.
And, netizens, there is nothing wrong with kids knowing where babies come from. It's your job to talk to your kids.

I don't think this was too detailed, it's not like he described how it was. That translation is a bit off too, so it comes off worse than what he actually said.
Also, I couldn't find the comment section on the original article. Where did they get those from?
If he didn't answer it would have been worse, to be honest because people would have said she was being a fake Christian or whatever bullshit they wanted to say about her.
I think Koreans need to stop being so damned two-faced about the subject of sex especially in public. And Korean men need to start wearing some damn condoms.

15 year olds should be watching this so they know what's up. Sex isn't just fooling around, it makes babies! Women have periods and also times when they are very fertile! Shocking!

And about all of this: why do people gaf about wether she got pregnant before or after the wedding? Yeah, she's a devoted, conservative Christian, but wouldn't that be, you know, HER problem? Leave your judging at the entrance, netizens, and let people live their lives.
However it does make feel uncomfortable, but that mainly b/c if a guy ever said something like that about me on television, I'd kick them to the curve. No question.
that is the weirdest phrasing
He said that since it wasn't an ovulation day, he must have been very strong that day.
It was a joke.
He should issue an apology to his wife and her parents. You vowed to protect and honor her. Asshole-haha
Also he can say one thing.... NO COMMENT.

What he said was badly worded and ill-advised, but at least it clarified the situation and now nobody's slut-shaming her or saying she's a bad Christian because of it. He dug himself into a hole and possibly embarrassed her, but at the same time he protected her.
Since this is a 15+ program, there are no children watching who need to be protected. But even if they were watching, conservative netizens should be happy because children are learning a valuable lesson: even if you avoid ovulation days and only have sex once (:p), you can still get pregnant! So be careful!!

I hope he didn't say that just to make poeple laugh...
And ffs, take responsibility for your own kids, parents. It's not like talking about ovulation is soooo bad, at the very least it's a wake up call for safe sex. The point HaHa was trying to make wasn't on which days she was ovulating, just that they tried to avoid pregnancy by not doing it then. And in this way, at least the public hates on HaHa for "disrespecting" his wife than her being called a slut.
It wasn't the best answer he could give but it could have been a lot worse.
