Announcer Kim Da-young announced that she is expecting a baby with broadcaster Baek Seong-jae, who is also a former announcer.

On the 2nd, a video titled “Our baby has arrived..!” was posted on the YouTube channel ‘Da-young Ana Ya’.

Kim Da-young uploaded a new video for the first time in two months since July, saying, “I haven’t been sharing much news lately, so I think my friends and subscribers have been curious or perhaps had some expectations.” She added, “I originally planned to carefully announce it around my birthday next month, but I ended up sharing the pregnancy news a bit earlier than expected.”

She continued, “It wasn’t that I was trying to hide the pregnancy news. In fact, when it comes to pregnancy, you never know what might happen until the baby is safely carried to term. So, I tried to share the news as slowly and carefully as possible.”

Kim Da-young stated, “I went to watch a soccer match, and because of one photo I took casually, this became public. I really have poor eyesight for details; even after taking the photo myself, I thought my belly wasn’t showing and that it turned out well, so I posted it. But there are many people in the world with sharp eyes. So, I decided to share the news along with it.”

She also said, “We knew that our marriage news was reported before we could announce it ourselves, and I understand that members of Baeten and listeners were disappointed. So, my husband had planned to tell you all on Baeten about the news of our second child, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to keep things discreet, and for that, I feel sorry.”

She explained, “After leaving my job, I took a break for about a year, and my first broadcast appearance was ‘Same Bed Different Dreams.’ At the time I decided to appear, I didn’t know I was pregnant. But I found out later. I intended to only do scheduled events during the early stages when it wasn’t noticeable, but some broadcasts had their filming dates pushed back, so I ended up filming for a few shows even after entering the mid-stage of pregnancy.”

She continued, “Looking back, all the broadcasts I did after leaving my job were done while carrying a baby in my womb. So, compared to when I was working at the company, I appeared on screen looking much healthier and plumper, which is personally a bit disappointing for me. But I had morning sickness,” she said with a laugh.

Kim Da-young said, “I’m sorry for declining work offers, but right now, the most important thing is to bring the baby into the world healthily, so I will focus on the baby.” She added, “In the early stages of pregnancy, there were many things that worried me, so time felt like it was passing slowly. But once I entered the mid-stage, I don’t know how time flew by. It truly feels like time evaporated, and before I knew it, I’m already entering the late stage.”

She said, “I think we will meet our baby by the end of this year without going into next year.” She added, “Thank you for your many congratulations. I will stay healthy and do well, so please take care of your health as you welcome this autumn.”

On that day, Kim Da-young also announced her pregnancy on her Instagram, writing, “Because the news was shared somewhat abruptly through articles, I am telling you directly a bit late..! A baby like a gift has come to us. By the end of this year, our family will grow from two to three.” She continued, “I think becoming a couple and becoming parents are on different levels. These days, I am already feeling many changes in every aspect, including my outlook on life and values.”

Rumors about Kim Da-young’s pregnancy surfaced due to a photo she posted on Instagram on the 29th of last month. Despite wearing a loose hoodie, her belly was visibly protruding. In response, an official from Baek Seong-jae’s agency SM C&C told StarNews, “Currently, Baek Seong-jae and Kim Da-young are preparing to welcome a precious life.”

Baek Seong-jae and Kim Da-young married in May of last year after two years of dating. The couple met through the SBS variety show ‘Goal! Her Team’ and overcame a 14-year age gap to marry. The couple appeared on SBS’s ‘Same Bed Different Dreams 2,’ revealing their newlywed life.
