New Actor Addresses Azoospermia Speculation, Discloses Vasectomy Reversal
Swings is facing rumors about his fertility after revealing a vasectomy and reversal on SBS’s Uh But Like Seriously.
The controversy began when the rapper-turned-actor got honest about having a vasectomy eight years ago because he didn’t want kids at the time.
Later, he changed his mind and had the procedure reversed two years ago.
About eight years ago, I decided I didn’t want to have children, so I went to the hospital and got a vasectomy. But two years ago, I suddenly started wanting kids. Children started looking really adorable to me, so I had the procedure reversed.

Soon after the reversal, rumors spread that Swings had azoospermia (no sperm). He cleared that up quickly on the show.
After the reversal surgery, I went to the hospital to check if everything worked. The results came out right away, and I only had eight sperm. The doctor told me that with that number, I absolutely wouldn’t be able to have a child. It really hurt to hear that. But then I got tested again two months ago, and this time there were a lot of sperm. So I hope people won’t misunderstand and think I have azoospermia…

As the situation unfolded, Swings also opened up about his new career path as an actor. He’s set to appear in the upcoming K-movie Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub.
He landed the role after posting an acting practice video online.
I expected people would mock me when I uploaded the video, but I also believed someone might recognize it.

Swings continues to pivot from rapper fame on Show Me The Money to building a foothold in acting — now putting rumors to rest while chasing a new dream.
