Lee Da-hae Says Se7en Planned Their Babymoon for the First Time in 12 Years

From Japan's Ishigaki Island, the actress posted that her husband booked and planned the trip this time. After 12 years together, she said it felt comfortable, and she is counting on him going forward.

On November 9, Lee Da-hae posted from a babymoon on Japan's Ishigaki Island and gave the credit to her husband.

For the first time in 12 years, she wrote, singer Se7en planned and prepared the trip. She had usually been the one doing that work.

"It was so comfortable," she added, according to StarNews and Seoul Economic Daily. "I'm counting on you going forward."

Right before a first baby, the person who usually books everything finally got a break. That swap is worth noticing at home too.

He took the itinerary

Her caption used a nickname for Se7en. English outlets spell it a few different ways, so the clean read is the job he did: he planned it.

She posted hotel photos and pool videos with the note. Sedaily describes him doing a handstand underwater and making a "7" with his legs. One of her captions asks what was so funny.

The tone is light. Two people on a last trip before the household becomes three, and she is happy he carried the planning.

Last trip for two, with DIY photos

A few days earlier, on November 4, she had already called Ishigaki their last trip just the two of them. Work had kept pushing the babymoon. Then they finally went.

They also tried maternity photos themselves with a tripod, a phone, and a Bluetooth remote. She told Sports Chosun they meant to take pretty pictures and ended up with more laughing ones.

She nicknamed the baby "Heaven" in the caption. Some English versions say Haven. "Next time, the three of us," she wrote.

StarNews and Sedaily put the due date in December, and say the baby is a girl.

Twelve years, then December

They started dating in 2015 and married in 2023. Both were born in 1984. In May, three years into the marriage, each of them posted that she was pregnant.

The "12 years" in her November caption covers that whole stretch. For most of it, she was the one who made the trips happen.

A lot of long couples have that default. One person holds the flights, the hotel, the packing list. A first baby adds clinic weeks and a hospital bag on top of the same habit.

Her post is a public thank-you for the switch, timed for the week before parenthood gets loud.

Name who plans what before December

The useful part of her post works at home too.

Before the next trip, or before clinic week turns into a group-chat argument, say out loud who is booking flights, hotel, appointment texts, and the ride home.

Try: "You planned this one. I'll take the next two clinic weeks." Or flip it if you are usually the spreadsheet person.

Lee kept it warm. She named the comfort, then asked for more of it as December gets closer.
