South Korean actors Lee Seung-gi and Lee Da-in are set to welcome another member into their family. The couple is expecting their second child.
On Thursday (Feb 12), Lee Seung-gi’s agency, Big Planet Made Entertainment, officially told South Korean media outlet OSEN, “Lee Da-in is in her fifth month of pregnancy, and the couple is prioritising the health and stability of the expectant mother while engaging in prenatal education.”
Prenatal education refers to structured programmes, classes, or resources designed to prepare expectant parents for pregnancy, labour, childbirth, and newborn care.
The news arrives two years after the couple welcomed their first baby girl on Feb 5, 2024.
The couple tied the knot in April 2023 in a lavish wedding at a five-star hotel in Seoul. Highly-accomplished actor-singer Lee Seung-gi, known for his roles in Korean dramas including Mouse and Vagabond, had announced their marriage in a letter posted on his Instagram.
In it, he wrote: "She is someone with a lot of warmth and love, and she is someone I want to keep by my side forever. I want to share our happiness together, and even if there are difficult times in life, I want to overcome those difficulties together without letting go of each other’s hands.”
Lee Seung-gi has shared his joy about fatherhood in recent broadcasts, speaking fondly about his daughter – whom he says resembles him, especially in her smile – and the happiness he finds in everyday parenting. Appearing on Korean reality show My Little Old Boy, he said he and his wife now take their child to and from school, admitting that while parenting can be tough, the moments of happiness far outweigh the challenges.
Mother Lee Da-in also often takes to social media to share moments with her daughter. Her post from February of a pink-themed party at home for her daughter’s second birthday has drawn attention.
Nonetheless, the couple has experienced some hiccups in their journey, with controversies unravelling mere days after their wedding. Actor-singer Lee Seung-gi addressed reports claiming that Lee Da-in’s father, Lee Hong-heon had embezzled 26 billion won (US$19.6 million), saying it was “clear misinformation” and “completely groundless content”.
However, in April 2025, when Lee Da-in's father was arrested for his alleged involvement in stock manipulation and for violating the Capital Markets Act, Lee Seung-gi released a statement, saying, “As someone who had been waiting for the outcome based on family trust, I am devastated by my father-in-law’s misconduct”.
He shared that the incident had "severely damaged the trust within the family to an irreparable degree", hence, the couple had “decided to sever ties with my in-laws.”
