'Heart Signal 4' alumna Kim Ji-young, who announced a premarital pregnancy, shared an update on her life as an expectant mother.
Kim Ji-young appeared on the March 13 episode of SBS PowerFM Bae Seong-jae's Ten in the segment "I'll help you decide roughly" to talk about the recently released marriage and pregnancy.
DJ Bae Seong-jae introduced Kim Ji-young as a "surprise specialist guest," and congratulated her, saying, "Two months after revealing the relationship, you had both a wedding and news of a second child — double congratulations." In response, Kim Ji-young said, "I didn't expect it to be this fast. Right now the three of us are together," referring to the child in her womb.
Kim Ji-young revealed the baby's pet name is "Poby." She explained, "I was thinking whether to reveal the child's real name later, so I needed an easy name to call." "Poby" is short for "photo baby," and Kim Ji-young joked, "It's not Portuguese baby," drawing laughter. She said she had considered cute names like "Potato" as a pet name, but chose the familiar-sounding "Poby" considering her YouTube activities.
Kim Ji-young's wedding was originally scheduled for April but was moved up to February because of the pregnancy. Kim Ji-young said, "I received the proposal in early October. I'm currently preparing the wedding at lightning speed."
Kim Ji-young's relationship became known in November last year. At the time, she posted a video on her YouTube channel titled "Autumn spent with loved ones (relationship reveal)," saying, "Someone has come to walk in step with me. I introduce someone I take night walks with," indicating she was in a relationship.
Kim Ji-young described her boyfriend as "an older noncelebrity, a warm and steady person. He's far from this line of work, so it might take some time to adjust." It was notable that she revealed the relationship just a week after saying about an acquaintance's wedding, "Eleven years of dating — that's something to emulate," given her earlier comment.
Kim Ji-young's prospective husband is Yun Soo-young, who, based on experience in the IT industry since 2015, founded a community-based reading club startup that has been noted for changing the reading culture ecosystem.
