Kim Ji-hye and Choi Seong-wook from the group Cats have realized their New Year's wish. The long-awaited pregnancy has finally succeeded.
On the 24th, a representative from Kim Ji-hye and Choi Seong-wook's agency, T&Entertainment, stated to OSEN, "Kim Ji-hye is pregnant with twins. She is currently 7 weeks pregnant." They continued, "I understand that they heard the heartbeats today (24th). However, since it is still early in the pregnancy, extra care will be taken for the mother and the babies," they added cautiously.
Kim Ji-hye posted on the 23rd, "I have been selected as a twin mom." She said, "I wasn't expecting much since the blood test results weren't high, but it truly is a blessing. I am quite old and went through in vitro fertilization, so I prayed a lot for twins. I no longer have anything else to wish for. I am so, so happy."
She added, "On the day of the extraction, I had a dream about a white tiger, and on the implantation day, I dreamed about a snake." She said, "It feels like we will become the parents of Backho and Yolong! Let's grow up healthy and meet." She also shared a video.
The video shows Kim Ji-hye finding out about the twin pregnancy during an ultrasound examination at the hospital. Kim Ji-hye expressed her joy by saying, "Oh my God, I really wanted twins," and on the 24th, she shared a selfie with her husband, Choi Seong-wook, saying, "I came to the hospital. Today is the day I hear the babies' heartbeats for the first time."
Earlier, on the 11th, Kim Ji-hye announced the successful in vitro fertilization news. She said, "Everyone, I succeeded in in vitro fertilization. I finally will become a mom and dad. Our baby, who had small feet and took a long time to arrive, is finally here. I am so grateful for all the prayers and support during the long six years of infertility and the in vitro period."
She remarked, "I think I was able to succeed because of the overflowing love you gave me. Since I have been open about my in vitro fertilization from the beginning, many people are curious about my pregnancy status. Although I'm only 5 weeks along, I want to let you know first." She also proudly announced that the baby's nickname is Backho. Initially thought to be one baby, it turned out to be twins, and she added the nickname Yolong.
Kim Ji-hye, an influencer from the girl group Cats, was born in 1988 and married musical actor Choi Seong-wook in 2019. The couple appeared on the 2022 TVing original variety show "Between Divorce and Marriage," where they shared their post-marriage conflicts, but soon reconciled and have been living a sweet life.
Since 2023, the couple has shared updates about their infertility treatment. At that time, Kim Ji-hye said, "It's been exactly 4 years since we got married, and I am 38 years old. I repeat the days of feeling anxious, upset, and letting go as time passes." She added, "Although I say that it's beautiful to be happy living just the two of us, I sincerely hope that a precious new life will come to us."
At the beginning of this year, she said, "It's a bit late, but Happy New Year!" and added, "I am preparing for in vitro fertilization. My wish this year is to meet a precious little one." She shared a photo taken with her husband, Choi Seong-wook, at the infertility clinic, and less than three months later, she received numerous congratulations upon announcing her pregnancy.
