Actress Han Da-gam gives birth to first son at 46

Actress Han Da-gam has welcomed her first son at the age of 46. After drawing significant attention with news of her pregnancy six years after marriage, she has finally transitioned from a "mother-to-be" to a "real mother" with the birth of her healthy son. For Han, who has been an actress for a long time, this childbirth holds a meaning far beyond a simple joyous occasion. The new journey she once described as her "second life" has now become a reality.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, Han gave birth to her healthy first son at a hospital. Both the mother and baby are reported to be in good health, and Han has begun her recovery while receiving care from her husband and family. As she had been preparing for pregnancy for a long time, this birth holds a particularly special meaning for her family.

Previously, in April, Han shared the surprising news of her pregnancy by revealing a handwritten letter. She stated that after debuting in the entertainment industry in her 20s, she had been active without rest, married at age 41, and became pregnant in her sixth year of marriage. At the time, she could not hide her joy, saying, "I still can't believe it, but it's true," and expressed her overwhelming emotions regarding the fact that it was an unusually late pregnancy even within the entertainment industry.

The pregnancy process was not merely the result of waiting. Han revealed that after finishing her theater activities last year, she meticulously managed her physical condition by visiting hospitals in advance to prepare for pregnancy in optimal condition. As a result, she succeeded in getting pregnant after undergoing only a single round of IVF. Having also devoted significant effort to exercise and diet management over a long period, she explained that the time spent steadily managing her body helped in preparing for pregnancy.

In particular, even after becoming pregnant, rather than stopping her activities completely, Han balanced work and pregnancy by managing her broadcasting schedule according to her physical condition. At the time, she expressed her determination for her new life, saying, "As I am one of the oldest expectant mothers, I will exercise harder, pay more attention to management, and be more careful." Rather than accepting pregnancy as an interruption to her career, she embraced it as an opportunity to expand the trajectory of her life.

The process of sharing her pregnancy journey with the public was also unique. Han joined KBS2's "The Return of Superman," where she drew interest by revealing her preparations to become a mother and the appearance of her husband. In particular, as her husband's face, which had been hidden for a long time, was revealed for the first time through the broadcast, her private life and family stories after marriage naturally emerged as topics of public interest. It was highly significant in that it captured the shift in the center of her life from an actress's daily routine to the process of becoming a parent.

Having debuted in 1999, Han has solidified her position through wide-ranging activities in dramas, films, CFs, and variety shows. She demonstrated her stardom through advertisements and works that left a strong impression on the public, and in 2018, she continued her activities by changing her name from Han Eun-jeong to Han Da-gam. Now, after undergoing major life changes such as marriage, pregnancy, and childbirth, she has added the new role of "mother" to her identity as an actress.

After experiencing the major life event of giving birth for the first time at age 46, what remains for Han is another beginning. Having embraced the child who came after long preparation, she once said when announcing her pregnancy that it was "the point of walking into my second life." The first chapter of the new life she has waited for has finally opened with the birth of her son.
