Ahn Young-mi Dismisses 'Overseas Birth' Rumors: "Second Son to be Born in Korea"

Comedian Ahn Young-mi's agency has moved quickly to address renewed speculation regarding "overseas birth" as she prepares to give birth to her second son.

On June 22, Ahn's agency, Media Lab Siso, refuted the claims, stating, "Ahn Young-mi's second child is a boy, and the birth will take place in Korea." The agency further clarified the facts, adding, "Her husband, who resides in the United States, also plans to return to Korea in time for the delivery to be with her." It is reported that Ahn is scheduled to give birth to her second child via cesarean section next week.

The speculation began after Ahn posted on her social media on June 21, announcing that she would be taking a break for the birth of her second child, saying, "I will return safely after a healthy and brave delivery." Ahn, who currently hosts the MBC FM4U radio program '2 O'Clock Date with Ahn Young-mi,' has entered her maternity leave after expressing her gratitude and regret to the radio production team and listeners for her temporary absence.

However, as news of her maternity leave spread, some online communities and social media platforms began making baseless speculations, asking, "Is she going to give birth in the U.S. again?"

Ahn previously faced controversy over "overseas birth" in 2023 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 works there. Despite this, she suffered from the spread of malicious comments and rumors. At the time, her agency stated, "Ahn Young-mi temporarily suspended her broadcasting activities to share the joy of childbirth with her husband, who lives and works in the U.S.," and announced that they would consider strong legal action against the spread of false information and malicious comments.

With similar rumors resurfacing alongside the news of her second pregnancy, the agency acted quickly to officially confirm that this birth will take place domestically, firmly drawing a line against groundless speculation.

Meanwhile, Ahn married a non-celebrity man working in the U.S. in 2020 and welcomed her first son in 2023.
