Park Shin Hye gives birth to second daughter

Actress Park Shin Hye has welcomed her second daughter. After marrying actor Choi Tae Joon in 2022 and giving birth to her first son later that same year, Park has become a mother of two, welcoming her second child approximately four years later.

Park's agency, SALT Entertainment, announced on the 22nd, “Actress Park Shin Hye gave birth to a healthy daughter today. We share the joyful news that Park Shin Hye and Choi Tae Joon have gained another new family member.” The agency added that both the mother and the baby are in good health, and Park is currently recovering and resting amidst the love and care of her family.

Park opened a new chapter in her life by marrying Choi in 2022. The two became a married couple after a long relationship, and they drew significant attention from both inside and outside the entertainment industry when they announced their marriage along with the news of her pregnancy. In May of that same year, she became a parent by giving birth to her first son, and she has since balanced her acting career with childcare.

The news of her second pregnancy was revealed this past April. As it was her first pregnancy in about four years since the birth of her first child, fans have offered continuous congratulations, and Park maintained her steady presence by continuing her activities as an actress even during her pregnancy. This time, as she holds a daughter unlike her first child, interest is also focused on the family's new dynamic as a household of four.

In particular, this childbirth is felt to be even more special because Park is an actress who has grown alongside the public since her days as a child actress. Having established herself as a leading actress through works such as the dramas “Stairway to Heaven,” “You're Beautiful,” “The Heirs,” and “Doctors,” she is now expanding the center of her life through marriage and childbirth.

Choi has also been active as an actor while building a home with Park. While the two have been relatively cautious about revealing their private lives, they have naturally shared their joy with the public through major family milestones like marriage and childbirth. With the birth of this second child, a new change has come to the family structure as the first son gains a younger sister.

The agency stated, “We express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has offered unsparing congratulations,” and requested warm blessings and support for the newborn. For Park, who has always worked under the glamorous spotlight, this childbirth has become a scene in her life even more special than any of her works. Attention is now gathering on what kind of new daily life Park, now a mother of two, will create with her family.
