I gave birth to my baby and now I am already expecting my second child [in the new phase]. I’m almost 8 weeks along. Since I am pregnant, I will continue to look forward and live even more diligently for the future, keeping myself healthy.

The former T-ARA starlet let her followers know that she welcomed her third child on Oct. 1, and thankfully they were both healthy. Due to the many controversies she has been involved in this year, many netizens have been curious about her pregnancy and how it is going.
Now, all questions about my son should be answered. I cannot express how heartbreaking it was to read comments suggesting that I had miscarried or other unmentionable things. I have been hurt by people who wondered why my baby, who lived and breathed in my womb and deserved only love, had to face such speculation.

Areum’s last two pregnancies were with her new boyfriend, who she started dating after divorcing her ex-husband. She married her ex in 2019 and they have two children together. The family has been part of a huge scandal, with Areum recently accused of child abuse and abandonment by her ex-husband.
I am a person who deeply loves children. I have always loved children, so imagine how much more I love mine. My maternal instincts are extremely strong. I’m always speechless when I see speculative articles about my children.
