Nam Chang-hee Told Listeners Before His Agency Did
On October 9 he told KBS Cool FM listeners that his wife, Yoon Young-kyung, is pregnant. The next morning T&N Entertainment said she is 23 weeks along, with a February due date. He had used that same show, on February 2, to set the wedding for February 22.
Nam Chang-hee used the afternoon show.
On October 9, during KBS Cool FM's "Yoon Jung-soo and Nam Chang-hee's Mr. Radio," he told listeners his wife, Yoon Young-kyung, is pregnant. The next morning his agency, T&N Entertainment, told reporters she is 23 weeks along. Outlets quoting the agency put the due date in February.
He had done this once already. On February 2, on that same show, he said he and the person he had been seeing had promised to walk one road, and that the wedding would be February 22. He told them he wanted this audience to hear it first.
He has co-hosted the show with Yoon Jung-soo since March 2019, from 4 to 6 p.m. in Korea. He started as a comedian in 2000, on SBS's Happy Our Saturday, while he was still at Dongsan High in Incheon.
When the math starts at the wedding, switch it to 23 weeks and a start around the beginning of May.
Eight months is the announcement
They married on February 22 at the Shilla Hotel's Dynasty Hall in Jangchung-dong, Seoul. He was born on July 27, 1982. She was born in 1991.
The agency, that February, said they had dated for four years. Reports on the wedding later said four and a half.
From the wedding to the October 9 broadcast is a little under eight months. That is how long they waited to say the pregnancy out loud.
Twenty-three weeks on October 9, counted from the last period the way clinics do, lands around the start of May. That is a bit more than two months after the wedding. Korean coverage calls this their first child.
The headline word 2세 means the next generation. A few English write-ups turned it into "second child."
The district job was already over
Yoon was named 선, the second of the three top titles, at the 2013 national Chunhyang contest. The next year, MBC's Infinite Challenge nicknamed her "Han River IU" on a matchmaking special.
She took some acting work after that, including a credit in the film Ode to My Father. Then she spent about six years as a staffer in the public relations office at Dongdaemun District Office.
MoneyToday said that on October 1 she announced she was leaving. News1 put that goodbye in September.
Give them the week count
If a relative starts from February 22, give them 23 weeks and early May.
The February in the due date is 2027. The February of the wedding is already behind them.
On February 2 he told this show he wanted them to hear the wedding first. October 9 was the same choice.
