Actor Min Hyo-rin, photographed looking markedly different from her past appearance, spoke out herself. Responding directly to public speculation about a second pregnancy and comments that she had "gained weight," Min Hyo-rin asked people to also cheer on her current life as a mother.
On the 12th, news of Min Hyo-rin's recent condition was revealed. On online communities and social media, it circulated that Min Hyo-rin attended photographer Mok Jeong-uk's wedding held on the 10th at a hotel in Jangcheung-dong, Jung District, Seoul.
Mok Jeong-uk is a well-known photographer who has shot numerous celebrities' pictorials, and many celebrity guests attended, including BTS member RM serving as emcee. Min Hyo-rin was among them. She attended with her husband Taeyang, and while greeting guests she showed familiarity by taking photos with the bride in the bride and groom waiting room.
Because it had been a long time since Min Hyo-rin's recent activities were captured, interest was heightened. Min Hyo-rin married Taeyang in 2018 and became a mother in 2021 when she gave birth to a son. She is currently focused on child-rearing, and her filmography has been on hiatus since the 2019 film "The Bicycle King Eom Bok-dong."
In particular, Min Hyo-rin did not participate in the six-episode MBC series I'm Sunny Thank You, which aired from Jul. 5 to Aug. 9. Actors who appeared in the film Sunny, including Kang So-ra, Kim Bo-mi, Kim Min-young, Shim Eun-kyung, Park Jin-joo and Nam Bo-ra, participated, but Min Hyo-rin did not, leaving fans disappointed.
Although Min Hyo-rin has shared updates through social media in the past, the fact that she appeared in person for the first time in six years drew attention, and her markedly different look from the past became a hot topic. Wearing an all-black ensemble with ribbon details to create an elegant yet lovely black ballet-core look, Min Hyo-rin showcased her still doll-like and youthful beauty with fair skin and distinct facial features.
However, debate arose over her somewhat puffy-looking face. Some raised questions about whether Min Hyo-rin might be pregnant with a second child, and others speculated that she had gained weight while raising her child. Given Min Hyo-rin's six-year hiatus and that she is currently focused on child-rearing, little is known publicly, which amplified the questions.
In response, Min Hyo-rin appeared herself. She said, "Hello. This is Min Hyo-rin. Please also cheer on me as I live as a mother. The weather has gotten much chillier. Everyone, take care of your health." She said the rumors of a second pregnancy were not true, and although she had gained a little weight, she asked for much support as she is concentrating on her roles as a mother and wife rather than as an actress.
Despite a six-year hiatus, Min Hyo-rin did not look at all downcast. Instead, she has been fulfilling her roles by raising her child and supporting her husband. The speculation about a second pregnancy and health concerns turned out to be nothing more than a happening.
