On February 2, Ahn Young Mi personally revealed the news during a live broadcast on MBC Radio Appointment at two with Ahn Young Mi. She explained that listeners had already started to sense that something was different about her and confirmed their suspicions, saying that she was already in the middle stages of her pregnancy. Due to her age, she admitted that she had been extremely cautious and had deliberately kept the news private until now. “I’m 44. This is considered advanced maternal age, so I’ve kept it in and been careful every single day.” he said candidly on the air.
Ahn Young Mi married her husband, an employee at a foreign company, in 2020 and gave birth to their first child in July 2023. She had previously expressed her desire for a second child on multiple occasions. On KBS 2TV The Return of Superman early last year, she openly shared her desire to have another baby within the year. That hope has come true, as she successfully conceived and is now expected to give birth next July.
She also shared a lighthearted anecdote involving singer Navi, who is also currently pregnant with her second child. Ahn recalled joking about getting pregnant together, only for Navi to announce her pregnancy the following week. Shortly thereafter, Ahn herself became pregnant. Laughing, she said he made her a believer “the power of words” and thanked everyone for their warm congratulations, even admitting that she felt a little nervous announcing such personal news live.
Despite his cheerful tone, Ahn did not hesitate to express his anxieties. She revealed that both her first and second pregnancies were considered late pregnancies, and this time she feels even more cautious, describing each day as “walking a tightrope”. However, he decided the timing was stable enough to finally share the news. She added that although there were once rumors of health problems, she has started gaining weight everywhere except her face and hopes her experience can give hope to others.
Ahn also said she told her mother as soon as she found out, joking that her mother then spread the news throughout her neighborhood. The child’s nickname has already been chosen as “Ddakdong,” a playful follow-up to his first child’s nickname. The baby is due in July, just like her first child, which raises the possibility that the siblings might even celebrate the same birthday together. She confirmed that the baby is a boy and that she intends to deliver via caesarean section.
Reflecting on his decision, Ahn Young Mi confessed that he struggled with the choice. She worried about whether it made sense to have a second child when she was already busy taking care of the first. Ultimately, his strong desire to give his son a brother and the knowledge of this “If not now, never again” took her on the leap. With honesty, humor and vulnerability, Ahn Young Mi once again connected deeply with audiences, transforming her personal journey into a story of courage and hope.
