SOUTH Korean actress Lee Da-in is now a mother of two as she gave birth to a baby boy on July 7, Oriental Daily reported.
Lee, who married fellow actor Lee Seung-gi in 2023, had revealed her second pregnancy in February.
The celebrity couple have a daughter who was born in 2024.
Throughout her pregnancy, the 33-year-old Da-in kept a low profile and focused on prenatal care.
But Seung-gi, 39, could hardly contain his joy when participating in the variety show Hidden Singer 8 last month, saying that “the second child will arrive very soon.”
He was reportedly by his wife’s side during the birth.
> For another couple in South Korea’s entertainment business, it was not a happy ending, though.
