Shinhwa's Minwoo revealed he is expecting a child with his fiancée.
On the August 9 broadcast of KBS 2TV’s variety program 'Mr. House Husband 2,' Minwoo revealed, “She is pregnant, we're expecting a baby,” confirming that his fiancée is currently expecting.
According to the program, his fiancée is a third-generation Korean-Japanese single mother who went through a previous marriage and divorce and is currently raising a daughter. Minwoo and his fiancée first met at a mutual friend’s gathering in 2013. Their last meeting was in 2018, after which they lost contact for years, before reconnecting and starting a romantic relationship. The couple later traveled to Yangyang, Gangwon Province, where they conceived their child. Minwoo shared that he gave the baby the prenatal nickname “Yangyang.”
The episode also showed Minwoo trying to persuade his parents to allow his fiancée and her daughter to live together with them. He opened up about having suffered severe financial hardship in the past due to fraud and said that he still does not have a steady income. He admitted, “I have many concerns about housing and education.” He continued, “But I believe it’s right to have the baby in Korea, for my parents’ sake as well. If my family approves, I want us all to live together.”
Minwoo debuted with Shinhwa in 1998, releasing numerous hit songs such as “Brand New” and “Perfect Man.” In addition to his career as a singer, he has been active as a painter, holding his first solo exhibition, 'Purism,' this June.
Last month, he announced his marriage plans on Instagram, writing, “After knowing each other for a long time and confirming our feelings, we have decided to become one family.”
