Comedian Sung Hyun-joo has announced her pregnancy.
On the 20th, Sung Hyun-joo shared on SNS, "As I anxiously waited week by week, hiding my growing belly, I have now become a 9-month pregnant woman," along with a photo.
The photo features Sung Hyun-joo's maternity shoot. Her happy smile, embracing her large belly, catches the eye. Additionally, a family photo that includes her first child, who passed away, has been digitally added, drawing attention.
Sung Hyun-joo added, "Experiencing the overwhelming pregnancy symptoms without a single error, I found myself feeling more overwhelmed than grateful, wondering if pregnancy was really this hard."
She continued, "With just one month left, I plan to enjoy the overflowing congratulations from grateful people with a soft heart, and I will try to walk a bit wobbly. I will probably soon love another little person dearly, which means I will become a mother of two. So, I'm doing it. This is my pregnancy announcement."
Along with this, Sung Hyun-joo released a video capturing the moment she informed her comedian colleagues Park So-young, Oh Na-mi, and Kim Min-kyung about her pregnancy.

Other colleagues reacted with comments like, "Congratulations," "I'm so happy," "Such a beautiful mom and baby. Let's meet healthily!" "So precious," "Take care until the end," "I'm so emotional," and "Sincerely congratulations."
Meanwhile, Sung Hyun-joo married a businessman 6 years her senior in 2011. She lost her 7-year-old son on December 25, 2020. Afterward, she published an essay titled 'Your Well-being,' reflecting on her son's illness, and donated all the royalties to a children's hospital.
