She also said she had just returned from a 100-day photoshoot for her son, referred to by the prenatal name Kongal, and that the baby sleeps at least eight hours a night, up to ten, and has been healthy through his first 100 days.

- The exact time and platform of the 3 October post Dong-A Ilbo says she posted on social media on 3 October but gives no time or platform, and the other documents do not add this detail.
- What one outlet's article on the story contained Newsis carried a matching headline, but its article text concerns an unrelated financial-sector hacking response meeting, so it is used only for its headline.
