WOO HYERIM
WONDER GIRLS former member WOO HYERIM announced her second pregnancy on Tuesday on her YouTube channel “Lim’s Diary”.
HYERIM surprised her fans by announcing that she was 12 weeks pregnant and asked her fans to guess the gender of her second child. HYERIM and her husband, Shin Min Cheol, an extreme taekwondo practitioner, affectionately nicknamed the baby on the way “Thank Kong.” HYERIM said her two-year-old son Shin Siwoo, who pronounces “thank you” like “thank you kong,” inspired the new child’s nickname.
In her announcement video, HYERIM shared several details about her pregnancy journey, including her experiences with morning sickness, changes in her food preferences, and government benefits available to pregnant women.
After WONDER GIRLS disbanded, HYERIM has been busy completing her bachelor’s degree in English for International Conferences and Communication (EICC) at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. She has published a collection of essays, “Just Keep Swimming” (2020), and has also translated a number of books, including Catherine Hapka’s 2021 book “Winnie the Pooh: The Little Things in Life” more early this year.
“A precious new life has come to WOO HYERIM’s family,” her agency, Wave Entertainment, said in a press release on Tuesday. “She currently plans to continue her activities and we ask for your blessing and support.”
