Rapper Swings, 39, has opened up about a change of heart regarding marriage and having children.
On Wednesday, Swings appeared on his YouTube channel "Egennam Swings," visibly excited as he headed to meet fellow rapper Yang Hong-won's 18-month-old daughter.
When the production crew, surprised by his enthusiasm given his typically aggressive stage persona, asked whether he had always liked babies, Swings said his feelings on the subject had shifted considerably from the past.
"I had it tied like a shoelace and then untied it when I came home," he said, referring to his vasectomy reversal. "I can now have children, and I want to. I mean it. Babies look cuter to me than ever before."
He went on to make a lighthearted public appeal for a partner: "Is there anyone who wants to have a baby? Someone who wants to become a mother — give me a call."
Swings had previously discussed the procedure on SBS variety show "Ani Geunde Jinjja! (Wait, Seriously?!)" in March, saying he had a vasectomy about eight years ago after firmly deciding he never wanted children. "Then, about two years ago, I suddenly wanted to have a child — not right away, but I noticed babies looked adorable to me, maybe because of hormonal changes," he said. "So I had the reversal surgery."
