Former announcer and broadcaster Kim So-young belatedly revealed that she is pregnant with her second child.
On the 5th, Kim So-young posted an ultrasound image on her social account and wrote, "Ddinggus, actually another baby has come to our family."
She said, "I was so cautious that I even considered not telling people until the baby was born, but already I'm six months along, and next spring I think Su-ah will meet a younger sibling. I wondered how to tell the Ddinggus this news, so after a year I resumed Ddingri TV and included our family's reflections. From now on, I will try to live each day faithfully and take good care of my health!"
Later, a video titled "I have news I want to be quietly congratulated on!" was uploaded to the "Ddingri TV" channel run by Kim So-young. She, who had paused her YouTube activities since October last year, also said, "I will cautiously share my daily life again from now on! Please look forward to it," foreshadowing more active uploads.
In the video, Kim So-young announced, "One day in August another baby came to us." Standing in front of the camera, she said, "It's been a while since I turned on the camera and I didn't know what to say first, but this seemed like the best thing to start communicating on YouTube again, so I turned on the camera. I don't know when it will be revealed, but I'm expecting a second child. So right now I'm not telling the Ddinggus about the pregnancy. I think I'm about 15 weeks now. So my goal is to tell you around December when the doctor tells me the baby is very healthy after a very difficult three or four months (with morning sickness)."
She continued, "The baby has already started to have a presence, so my belly is slightly showing. Lately, when I film content or share my weekend plans, I'm always concerned that my feeling unwell or tired might show, but fortunately many people don't seem to expect it." She added, "The past three months I had severe morning sickness and it was very hard. Because I lost some weight, many Ddinggus said I looked prettier, but it was a morning-sickness diet. So I look a bit pale. Fortunately I'm now in a more stable period and much better. I keep imagining how I will tell them and the day I will share this news with the Ddinggus, and I live with a grateful heart. I hope the day comes soon when I can share this news."
A short time later, Kim So-young filmed a video with her husband Oh Sang-jin. Introduced as the "primary caregiver," Oh Sang-jin was asked, "How do you feel?" He candidly replied, "There are many feelings, and there is excitement about meeting the child who came to us again, but personally it feels quite burdensome. I raised one person to become an independent person who can do things on their own to some extent, and now pressing the reset button..."
Kim So-young teased, "You see, primary caregivers usually have that kind of stress," and joked, "Don't they just grow up if you give birth to them?" She added, "Because he's such a primary caregiver. If you just give birth, he'll raise them well." In response, Oh Sang-jin protested, "I said I'll raise them diligently, not that I'll do everything myself," and Kim So-young laughed, "You raised the first one too, so what."
Oh Sang-jin said, "Anyway, it's another path we haven't taken, so it's good. It's good, but I'm very worried," adding, "I'm happy. Basically I'm happy, but I can't be only happy because there are many responsibilities." Kim So-young said, "When we raised Su-ah we were young, both of us. We used to stay up all night when she cried and it was fine, but now it can actually be a bit hard," and Oh Sang-jin, who had done much of the first child care alone, said in disbelief, "I haven't done that much, so why are you..."
Then Kim So-young said, "Oppa might find it hard. He has to give formula at dawn too," and Oh Sang-jin replied, "I can do that, but the more important thing is when there's only one you can focus on that one, but Su-ah is still a child," expressing concern that "there will be many things to do." Kim So-young admitted, "Although I say it like this, I'm worried because we still haven't told Su-ah that she will have a younger sibling. Sometimes I test the waters by asking Su-ah, 'What if you had a younger sibling?' Surprisingly, she says it's good to have a sibling. She's kind. She likes the idea of a sibling, but she thinks Dad will hold her forever," she said, sharing belated worries.
She said, "She's actually grown quite a bit. Now it's 18 weeks so it's quite big. Revealing this will probably be later, so I've cautiously filmed in advance. We don't know the sex yet. Other people do things like pulling a raffle or popping balloons. Gender reveal. Will you prepare something like that?" Oh Sang-jin shook his head and said, "Those things are a luxury."
Kim So-young said, "You know what's the problem? Since it's the second one, there is no baby name. Usually you call a baby name, but I keep calling it 'the second.'" Oh Sang-jin suggested, "The baby name is 'the second.' Let's get submissions in the comments," making them laugh. Kim So-young asked, "Are you confident raising two?" and Oh Sang-jin confessed, "No. I'm not! I wish I had confidence in everything in this world, but I guess I won't be flustered. But anyway, since there's a first child and now a second, it's something we haven't done before."
Hearing this, Kim So-young laughed, "I'm very stressed about taking care of two babies. Maybe I'll be the first gloomy person to reveal a second child on YouTube. Someone who feels this burden this much," and Oh Sang-jin said, "I was happy, but when I actually sat here, it would be nice to reproduce that joy, but it's not acting. It's not drama, it's real. As viewers know, life is real. My joy and some burden coexist. Meanwhile the first child arrived," he said. Kim So-young encouraged him, "Fighting!"
Meanwhile, Kim So-young and Oh Sang-jin married in 2017 and welcomed their first daughter, Su-ah, in 2019. Later, in 2023 they announced a second pregnancy, but heartbreakingly revealed a miscarriage about two months later. At the time Kim So-young said, "Although we parted early, we hope to meet again someday, and the three of us will love each other and try to live well," she said. Amid this, many people have poured out support and congratulations for the couple as the second child has come again like fate.
