K-drama couple Jang Dong Gun and Go So Young are eagerly anticipating the birth of a daughter at the end of this month. The couple announced they were expecting a second child last fall but they were recently happy to learn that their second child will be a daughter.
The actors, who met on the set of the film "Love Wind Love Song" in 1999, were good friends for years before they dated. But one night, when they were both in Los Angeles, they began to see each other in a different way.
"After meeting up in America, we went on to become a couple," said Go So Young, who still cherishes the text messages the couple sent to each other in the following days. The actors went public with their relationship in 2009 and had a star-studded wedding in 2010. Go So Young gave birth to their first child later that year. Their son is named Joon Hyuk and he's now old enough to appreciate having a baby sister.
Netizens reacted to the news of the baby girl's arrivals with comments on how lucky that child will be.
Imagine being born in a world where your uncles are Won Bin, Hyun Bin, and Jung Woo Sung, and your aunts are Kim Tae Hee, Han Ga In, and Son Ye Jin, said one netizen. Others commented on how pretty she will be given the genes she stands to inherit from her attractive parents and how she will make men cry.
For the last year Go So Young, 41, has worked on an MBC documentary about single mothers in Korea titled "Mom Has A Dream Too." The actress planned to star in a film with Ha Jung Woo, which is on hold until after her child's birth. Jang Dong Gun, 41, appeared in the drama "Gentleman's Dignity," and is now filming "Crying Man."
A representative from Go So Young's agency, Tethys, said that Jang Dong Gun was attending prenatal classes and doing the exercises with his wife, despite his busy filming schedule.
"As the time approaches and Go So Young is close to giving birth, she is eating well and feels fine," said the Tethys representative. "After finding out that their child will be a girl, both parents are delighted beyond measure."
