Lee Si Young Criticized For Safety Ignorance & Alleged Child Abuse
The "Sweet Home" star is under controversy after her hiking milestone post gains attention over child abuse and safety ignorance.
Known for being sporty and adventurous, Lee Si Young would go on a hike for recreational purposes.
On January 2, Lee Si Young shared her hiking milestone on her personal Instagram account. In her post, the actress was captured climbing Mount Halla with her toddler on her back to welcome the new year.
She captioned the post, "I came to Mount Halla with my son! He was so heavy that I thought I was going to die! But this is a meaningful milestone so I'm so happy!"

Mount Halla is the second highest peak in South Korea. Lee Si Young added that her son weighed nearly 20kg, which was too heavy especially on her back.
Because of this, she was subject to criticism over child abuse and insensitivity to safety.
Hiking in the snow is known to be dangerous and Lee Si Young's reckless act of going up and down the mountain with a child weighing 20 kg on her back is dubbed as ignorance, according to the public.
One comment expressed anger, saying, "You're a mother. You should know how dangerous this is, even if you're physically fit. This is an act of child abuse."
Lee Si Young's son was stuck on his mother's back for more than eight hours in the cold. Even more so, the slippery slopes in the mountain could have made the actress stumble and injure both her and her child.
The actress, who has almost 4 million subscribers on Instagram, hasn't addressed the issue up until this writing.
At the moment, the actress is gearing up to return to the small screen with the new season of Netflix drama "Sweet Home."
