Hong Yoo-kyung, formerly of the girl group Apink, shared her recent full-term pregnancy update via DLINE.

On the 13th, Hong Yoo-kyung held a Q&A session to respond to fans' questions.

Answering questions about her pregnancy, Hong said, "I'm in my 31st week, which is eight months," adding, "Yesterday, strangers passing by kept talking to me, and even without a maternity badge, anyone could tell I was pregnant." She continued, "It's already the 31st week; I wonder how much bigger I'll be at full term. I truly respect mothers carrying twins."

She further shared, "Contrary to what I expected, my appetite hasn't been picky during pregnancy, so I've been eating everything. It seems I eat yogurt, pork cutlets, and hamburgers the most. Recently, I've been craving and have eaten a few bowls of beef soup." She also revealed, "In early pregnancy, I experienced bleeding every day for several weeks and had significant spotting. My doctor advised absolute rest, which made me anxious and worried. Since early miscarriages are so common, I was constantly fearful that something might happen to the baby and eagerly waited for the stable period to arrive."

Regarding whether she would reveal her husband's face, Hong said, "At first, I felt shy about sharing it and worried my husband might feel burdened, but surprisingly, he seemed disappointed." She added, "Yesterday, when his expression looked apologetic, I covered him up. But from now on, I plan to share his photos regularly."

When asked about her first meeting with her husband, Hong replied, "On the day of our blind date, I arrived 30 minutes early, only to find out my husband had also arrived more than 30 minutes early, and we were waiting for each other in different locations." She continued, "I think I realized he was a reliable person from small details like his punctuality."

Earlier, in May, Hong Yoo-kyung announced her pregnancy with the message: "A beautiful baby has come to my womb. I've now entered the 16th week and the stable period, so I can finally reveal my pregnancy. I named the baby 'Dangdang,' meaning 'grow confidently.'" She added, "Although I'm still a beginner expectant mother with no prior knowledge, I will work hard to learn and become a wonderful mother. Please watch over me and offer your support and love."

Hong Yoo-kyung debuted as a member of Apink in 2011 but left the group two years later, in 2013, citing academic reasons.

Afterward, Hong earned a master's degree in clothing design from Seoul National University's graduate school and has worked as a fashion designer. In 2023, she married a dermatologist.
