Former Top Girl Group Member Makes Surprise Pregnancy Announcement

Former Apink member Hong Yookyung is pregnant!

In a recent Instagram post, Yookyung shared that she was 16 weeks pregnant and had reached a safe enough point to make the announcement. Her post included multiple ultrasound images, photos of the pregnancy test, and other images.

Everyone, a beautiful baby has come into my belly! Ahhh 🤍
I’ve been dying to tell you all for so long, but…!
Now that I’ve reached the stable stage at 16 weeks, I can finally announce my pregnancy ✨
Our baby’s nickname is Dangdangie. We chose it because we want the baby to grow up strong and confident.
I’m still a first-time mom-to-be who doesn’t know much yet, but I’ll do my best to learn and become a wonderful mother. Please keep watching over me and give us lots of love and support 🫶🏻
If there are any other moms expecting Year of the Horse babies, let’s stay in touch and prepare together~!
Dangdangie, grow healthy and strong until we meet. I love you.
