Kim conceived naturally, and the couple discovered the pregnancy last summer, Korean online entertainment news outlet Dispatch reported.

The couple live in Hanam, Gyeonggi province, South Korea, where Hong moved after leaving his previous residence in Seoul to live near Kim’s parents.

In December, the couple enjoyed outings together, including dining in Seoul and grocery shopping at a local market. Kim drove Hong, who recently resumed driving lessons – probably in preparation for the baby’s arrival.

The couple visited an obstetrics clinic together on January 15, with Hong accompanying Kim through every step, from the initial confirmation to checkups and tests, seemingly unfazed by public attention.
