Susan Shakya, who appeared on JTBC's "Non-Summit," has become a father.

On the 4th, Susan Shakya announced the birth of her son on her personal social media account.

Susan Shakya said, "Even on the day I first met my wife and on our first date, we ate Nepali-style dumplings together. That day, I told my wife that in Nepal, dumplings are called 'Momo.' That was the first Nepali word I ever taught her." She continued, "Momo always felt like food that resembled us. In Nepal, it is a daily dish enjoyed by everyone, and it is not unfamiliar to Koreans either. Just as we, who grew up in different countries with different languages and cultures, naturally shared the same food, Momo was like a small bridge connecting the two nations. Then, I learned an interesting story: in Japanese, 'Momo' means 'peach.' Peaches are my wife's favorite fruit. After hearing that, it felt as if the name 'Momo' had been waiting for us all along."

Susan Shakya added, "And finally, a precious baby has come to us. Dad is Nepali, and Mom is Korean. Just as the cultures of two nations have come together to form one family, a new life has arrived for us. Without hesitation, we named our baby 'Momo.' I hope our Momo grows up naturally embracing the cultures of both Korea and Nepal. Rather than having to choose one side, I wish he would regard both countries as his roots and sources of pride, growing up freely and healthily. May he often encounter sweet happiness like a peach and grow into someone who can love others with a warm heart. 'Momo,' the first Nepali word I ever taught my wife, has now become the most precious name in our family. Today, my son 'Momo' was born safely and healthily," she shared the news of his birth.

Colleagues conveyed their congratulations to Susan Shakya via social media upon hearing the news of her son's birth.

Meanwhile, Susan Shakya gained recognition through her appearance on "Non-Summit" and has since been actively serving as a member of the Immigration Policy Committee at the Ministry of Justice and the Cultural Diversity Committee at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
