Musical actors So Jeong-hwa and Cha Yoon-hae announced the news of their pregnancy.
On the 10th, So shared on her social media, “Welcome, baby,” adding, “A distinguished guest has come to our home.”

She continued, “The baby’s nickname is ‘Sogeum’ (salt). I was performing in the musical ‘Hikaru.’ Since it means ‘to shine,’ we named the child in the womb Sogeum. Light and salt.” She explained, “We also took our surnames into account. We wanted to convey the meaning of growing up to be an indispensable presence, like salt, in this world.”
She added, “There is not much time left now. As it gets a bit colder and we put on warmer clothes, let’s meet soon, healthy and safe.” Along with the post, photos revealed maternity shoot images. The couple’s affectionate moments and So Jeong-hwa’s full-term DLINE (a term referring to the final stage of pregnancy) drew attention.
Meanwhile, So Jeong-hwa, born in 1985, married Cha Yoon-hae, born in 1994, overcoming a nine-year age gap in 2023. The two first worked together in the musical “Fan Letter” in 2021.
