Ahn Young-mi Gives Birth to Second Son in Seoul on June 25, Putting 'Overseas Birth' Rumors to Rest

Broadcaster Ahn Young-mi has become a mother of two.

On June 26, her agency, Media Lab Seesaw, released an official statement saying, "Ahn Young-mi gave birth to a healthy second son at a hospital in Seoul on the 25th."

According to the agency, both the mother and the baby are currently in very good health. Ahn is reportedly resting while receiving dedicated care from her husband and family.

The agency stated, "We ask for your warm support for Ahn Young-mi and her family as they welcome a precious new life," adding, "Ahn plans to return to broadcasting with a healthy appearance after a full recovery."

Ahn married her non-celebrity husband in 2020 and welcomed her first son in July 2023. After sharing the news of her second pregnancy earlier this year, she received many congratulations, and with this latest news, she now celebrates the joy of being a parent to two children.

Ahn, who had been active as the DJ for the MBC FM4U radio show "2 O'Clock Date with Ahn Young-mi" until recently, shared her thoughts with listeners before taking maternity leave. During the broadcast, she said, "It still doesn't feel real that I'm having a second child," and added, "I will return after giving birth safely and healthily."

In particular, this second birth has naturally dispelled the unnecessary misunderstandings that arose during her first delivery. In 2023, Ahn was embroiled in a controversy over "overseas birth" when she gave birth to her first son in the United States. At the time, she explained that she chose to go to the U.S. to share the precious moment of her first child's birth with her husband, who was working there, but she suffered as malicious comments and rumors spread.

When Ahn recently announced that she would be taking a break from broadcasting for her second delivery, some netizens raised similar rumors again, asking, "Isn't she giving birth in the U.S. this time, too?" The agency firmly drew a line against the baseless speculation by announcing that the birth would take place domestically, and by giving birth to her second son in Korea, Ahn has effectively put the controversy to rest.
