Congratulations!
Top actress Lee Yeon Hee has surprised fans with the unexpected news that she is seven months pregnant. The pregnancy comes four years after she married her non-celebrity husband.
Saram Entertainment, Lee Yeon Hee’s agency, announced on June 7 that the actress is expecting her first child and is due to give birth in September. They shared the happy news with the public, expressing, “A precious new life is on the way for Lee Yeon-hee and her family. We ask for your warm blessings and support.”
Meanwhile, Yeon Hee herself took to Instagram to share the news with fans personally. In a heartfelt letter, Yeon Hee wrote about how excited and grateful she is for this new chapter of her life. Lee also announced that — with the baby’s due date being only 3 months away — she will be stepping back from her current projects to focus on a smooth and healthy delivery.
Hello, I’m Yeonhee Lee.
I am writing this today because I want to share good news with you.
A precious life has come to me for which I feel so grateful and blessed.
I was wondering what time would be best to share this news, but now I think it’s a good time, so I decided to say it.
Actually, everything is still amazing and doesn’t feel real, but I’m trying to spend each day in good condition.
I hope the fans I love so much will celebrate together.
I am looking forward to the birth of a beautiful baby this September.
I hope you will bless my family and wish us good health.
I hope you stay healthy this summer, which is getting hotter.
I will also pray that your daily life will be filled with happiness, big and small.
Thank you, and I love you always.
