According to reports on April 10, Park Yuhwan welcomed a daughter named Lia in 2024 with her current partner. On April 9, he shared several photos on social media along with the message: “Thanks to all of you, it’s been 7 happy years.” The images showed him spending affectionate moments with a little girl, lifting her on his shoulders and playing together at home, clearly demonstrating a close father-daughter bond. He further confirmed his identity by writing, “Lia pinches my navel while I sleep,” revealing that the little girl in the photos is his daughter.
The revelation came as a surprise as Park Yuhwan had never officially announced his marriage or family life. However, it was later noted that he had not completely hidden the truth. In March, during a live broadcast, he stated briefly in English: “She is my daughter”, hinting at the relationship before this public revelation. Adding to the attention, his brother Park Yoochun commented, “I love you, Lia,” showing support and affection.
Park Yuhwan, born in 1991, debuted in 2011 and appeared in several dramas, building his acting career before moving into content creation and communicating with fans online. However, along with this news, his past controversies also resurfaced. In 2016 he was involved in a lawsuit brought by a former partner to terminate a common-law relationship. The ex-partner claimed that he had unilaterally ended the relationship and, after legal proceedings, the case was finally resolved.
Furthermore, he has faced legal troubles in 2022 after being referred for non-custodial prosecution for marijuana use in Bangkok in 2020. While these past incidents have impacted his public image, his daughter’s recent revelation has shifted the focus to his personal life and his role as a father.
With the phrase “happy 7 years,” many speculate that Park Yuhwan has maintained a long-term relationship and family life away from the spotlight. His candid look at fatherhood has sparked mixed reactions as fans process both the surprise announcement and his complicated past.
