Eric of Shinhwa Announces He's Expecting Baby Number Two

Eric, a member of the legendary K-pop group Shinhwa and an actor, has recently shared the exciting news that he is set to become a father for the second time. Eric and his wife, Na Hye-mi, tied the knot in 2017 after five years of dating, which garnered attention due to their 12-year age difference. The couple welcomed their first son on March 1, 2023, and have since been focusing on parenting while taking a break from their entertainment activities. They have shared glimpses of their parenting journey on social media, with Eric showcasing his affectionate side as a 'son-doting' father.

Recently, Eric faced speculation regarding his health after a photo with a fan revealed a noticeable change in his physique. In response to the concerns, he clarified that the picture was taken during the early days of parenting when he was sleep-deprived. He humorously mentioned that he had reached a weight of 98 kg but reassured fans that he and his family are doing well.

As of today, March 20, 2025, the couple is receiving congratulations as they prepare to welcome their second child. Eric's agency, TOP Media, confirmed on March 6 that Na Hye-mi is indeed pregnant and is expected to give birth this spring. Fans are thrilled to see Eric and Na Hye-mi becoming parents of two children, with many expressing their joy online, commenting on how adorable their children will be and praising their happy family dynamic.

Despite his family commitments, Eric has remained active in the entertainment industry, participating in various variety shows such as Three Meals a Day (삼시세끼), Law of the Jungle (정글의 법칙), and dramas like My Lovely Kim Sam-soon (유별나! 문셰프) and The Spy Who Loved Me (나를 사랑한 스파이). Na Hye-mi has also established herself as an actress with roles in shows like One and Only (하나뿐인 매편) and Summer, Please (여름아 부탁해).
