Boys Over Flowers star Kim Hyun Joong is expecting his first child.

The South Korean singer and actor announced the pregnancy of his non-showbiz wife in a statement released by his agency, Henecia, on Thursday, July 21.

"We are informing you of the happy news that has found its way to our artist Kim Hyun Joong's family," the statement said, as translated by Soompi.

"Kim Hyun Joong is currently awaiting a new life with cautious gratitude and excitement," the agency continued. "We ask for your sincere blessings and support so that he can protect this precious life."

In addition, Henecia urges the public to "refrain from excessive interest or speculation out of his consideration for his non-celebrity wife."

This comes after Hyun Joong and his wife got married in a private ceremony earlier this year. According to TV Daily's report, the couple has been best friends for a long time before tying the knot. The actor announced the news of his marriage during his "What I Want To Say" concert in Seoul last February 27. 

Hyun Joong forrayed into showbiz as a member of the boy group SS501 in 2005. Apart from being a K-pop idol, he became famous for playing roles in numerous dramas, including Boys Over Flowers (2009), Playful Kiss (2010), and When Time Stopped (2018). 

Hyun Joong has visited the Philippines twice — the first time was to promote his Breakdown album in 2011 and the second was to perform in a one-night concert that's part of his Bio Rythm world tour in January 2020.
