Pregnant Han Da-gam receives 200 million won SUV gift for baby

Actress Han Da-gam has shared a glimpse of her life as she prepares for childbirth, revealing she received a luxury SUV worth over 200 million won. The gift, intended for the expectant mother, is drawing attention as a practical choice tailored to her upcoming needs in childcare.

On the 21st, Han posted a photo on social media standing next to the vehicle, writing, “There isn't much time left until childbirth,” and “They gave me another wonderful memory.” In the photo, Han stands in front of the vehicle wearing a white shirt and jeans with a bright expression. Her relaxed demeanor makes it hard to believe she is so close to her due date.

The vehicle is a large SUV from a German automotive brand, with a market price in Korea estimated between 230 million and 240 million won. Rather than focusing on the high price tag, interest has centered on the fact that the vehicle was specifically chosen as a 'family car' to support Han's transition into motherhood.

“While celebrating my meeting with Chaltteogi, they chose a B brand SUV, saying it fits my image perfectly,” Han wrote. “They said this car suits my image so well. Was I always this kind of image?” She added a characteristic playful reaction to the comments regarding her image, expressing gratitude for the gift rather than simply boasting.

The reasoning behind the vehicle choice is particularly noteworthy. Han stated, “They said they chose it because a lot of items fit in the trunk and strollers and car seats can be loaded easily. They also said the driving visibility is wide and driving is very comfortable, so I will try driving it and leave a review.” The choice was clearly made with upcoming childcare needs in mind, prioritizing utility over flashy brand value.

Han's recent daily life reflects the shifting atmosphere of an expectant mother. On the 9th, she shared her preparations for baby Chaltteogi, including baby clothes, bottles, and bibs. She noted that while her body feels heavy, she is excitedly preparing for the arrival of her child.

Born in September 1980, the 46-year-old actress married a businessman in 2020. She has drawn significant public interest by announcing her pregnancy this year, six years after her marriage. She is currently being spotlighted in the media as one of the older expectant mothers in the entertainment industry.

Throughout her pregnancy, Han has been proactive in sharing her journey. From outings in Samcheong-dong to updates from film sets, exercise routines, and baby showers, she has embraced the major life change by sharing it naturally with her fans.

She has also maintained a strong focus on self-care. Last August, she shared footage of herself exercising while nearly full-term, stating, “It is to meet a healthy baby.” However, as pregnancy exercise and weight management vary by individual, her routine should not be viewed as a universal standard.

Han's pregnancy has become a significant topic in the industry. The news of a long-time actress welcoming a child in her mid-40s has captivated the public, especially as she has shared her experiences with infertility treatment, offering a message of support to women in similar situations.

On MBC's 'Radio Star' this past July, Han revealed her due date is in late September. She maintained her characteristic calm and pleasant attitude, noting that her physical changes were subtle enough that people around her did not immediately notice her pregnancy.

This car gift serves as another symbolic milestone in her preparations. While luxury cars in celebrity news often focus on brand prestige, this instance is unique because the primary motivations were the ample cargo space for a stroller and car seat for the soon-to-be-born baby.

For Han, who has led a glamorous life as an actress, her focus is shifting from a 'star's car' to a 'mother's car.' The vehicle is evolving from a means of transport between filming sets into a vital living space for her and her child.

As her due date approaches, Han's social media is increasingly filled with records of her journey as an expectant mother rather than her life as an actress. Preparing supplies and waiting for Chaltteogi marks the opening of a new chapter in her long career.

The image of her smiling brightly in front of the 200 million won SUV highlights that the real story is not the car itself, but the life changes it represents. The next chapter for Han will likely not be on a red carpet, but in the everyday life of a family traveling with a stroller and car seat.
