Hong Yoo-kyung, formerly of the girl group Apink, is becoming a mother to a son.

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

That day, when asked about the baby's gender, Hong Yoo-kyung said, "A prince," and shared that she is expecting to give birth to a son.

Additionally, responding to questions about her pregnancy, Hong Yoo-kyung stated, "I am in my 31st week, eight months along." She added, "Yesterday, many mothers I didn't know stopped by to talk, and even without a pregnancy badge, anyone could tell I'm pregnant." She continued, "It's already the 31st week; I wonder how much bigger I'll be at full term. I truly respect expectant mothers carrying twins."

She further shared, "Contrary to what I expected, my appetite during pregnancy hasn't been picky, so I've been eating everything. It seems I've eaten yogurt pork cutlets and hamburgers the most recently. Lately, I've also been craving beef soup a few times." She explained, "During early pregnancy, I experienced bleeding every day for several weeks and had significant spotting. My doctors advised absolute rest, which made me anxious and worried. Early miscarriages are quite common, so 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 Yoo-kyung 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 it. From now on, I plan to share his photos regularly."

When asked about her first meeting with her husband, Hong Yoo-kyung said, "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. We ended up waiting for each other at 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 reached a stable period, so I can finally reveal my pregnancy." She added, "I'm still a beginner expectant mother who knows nothing, but I will work hard to learn and become a wonderful mother. Please watch over me with your support and love."

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

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