Broadcaster Park Seul-gi announced her third pregnancy on social media Saturday, exactly 10 years after her marriage and two years after the birth of her second child, calling the expected baby the final piece of her family.
The announcement arrived through a video shared on personal social media by Park, featuring her husband and two daughters, diarypoint.com reported. In the footage, family members removed their hands from a table to reveal an ultrasound image underneath. Park added the English caption, “Welcome to the family, our last piece,” indicating that the upcoming child completes her family planning.
- Advanced Maternal Age and Pregnancy: Clinical data indicates that pregnancies occurring at later reproductive ages require enhanced monitoring for gestational complications such as gestational hypertension and fetal chromosomal anomalies.
- Spacing and Uterine Recovery: Obstetric guidelines generally recommend allowing adequate inter-pregnancy intervals to optimize myometrial (uterine muscle) recovery, particularly following prior deliveries and pregnancy losses.
- Ultrasound Diagnostic Verification: High-resolution ultrasound imaging serves as the primary diagnostic modality to confirm gestational viability and structural development during the first and second trimesters.
Park married her husband, Kong Moon-sung, a non-celebrity one year her senior, in July 2016. During interviews at the time of her wedding, Park stated her desire to have approximately three children, a goal she has now formalized on their tenth wedding anniversary as they prepare to become a family of five.
The couple welcomed their first daughter, Kong So-ye, in 2020, followed by their second daughter, Kong Ri-ye, on March 12, 2024. During her second pregnancy, Park publicly shared the emotional difficulty of experiencing multiple miscarriages following her first birth, ultimately waiting until a detailed ultrasound scan was completed before sharing her news.
Following the pregnancy disclosure, colleagues from the entertainment industry and internet users posted congratulatory comments. Singer Kim Na-hee wrote, “Oh my goodness! Huge congratulations,” while comedian Shim Jin-hwa added, “Open! Congratulations once again,” and comedian Kim Hye-ji shared her joy with an exclamation, diarypoint.com reported.
Born in 1986, Park debuted in 2004 after winning the grand prize by impersonating singer Lena Park on MBC’s Paldo Impersonation Contest. She subsequently appeared in MBC sitcoms Dubu Change in 2004 and Hello Franceska in 2005, as well as films including Wet Dreams 2 in 2005, Escaping Charisma in 2006, and Single in Seoul in 2023.
She gained particular prominence as a reporter for MBC’s Section TV Entertainment Relay for over 12 years, receiving the Excellence Award in the Music and Talk Show category at the 2014 MBC Entertainment Awards, and currently maintains her broadcast and acting activities under Janggun Entertainment.
