Danielle Lindemann shares emotional reaction to pregnancy news

Broadcaster Danielle Lindemann has shared his overwhelming emotions about becoming a father three years into his marriage, revealing his excitement as a soon-to-be devoted father.

Appearing on JTBC's 'Talk Pa One 25 O'Clock' for the first time in a while, which airs on the 24th, Lindemann will recount the exact moment he learned of his wife's pregnancy.

During the studio recording, congratulations poured in following the news of his impending fatherhood. Lindemann revealed that as soon as he heard the news, his legs gave out and he collapsed on the spot.

Recalling the moment, he said, "I thought people's reactions were all fake. But truly, my legs lost all strength and tears just kept falling." He explained that beyond simple joy, the reality of welcoming a new life hit him all at once, causing his emotions to surge.

Previously, in June, Lindemann personally announced the news via SNS, stating, "Everyone... I am becoming a father." At the time, he shared a dream he had the day before his wife's announcement and introduced the baby's nickname, 'Tori.'

"The day before my wife told me she was pregnant, I had a dream where I was coming home holding a cute hamster in my arms, so the nickname is Tori," Lindemann said. "Please give lots of support so that my wife and Tori can be healthy."

Lindemann is a German broadcaster who rose to fame through JTBC's 'Abnormal Summit.' Since then, he has been active in various fields, including music and broadcasting, gaining attention for his insightful perspectives on Korean society and culture.

In December 2023, he married a non-celebrity Korean woman in Seoul after dating for two years. At the time, he stated, "I met someone I want to spend my whole life with and decided to marry. I want to move forward as a married couple with this person who shares my joys and sorrows and embraces my shortcomings."

As the couple prepares to become parents three years after their wedding, this news holds special significance. Lindemann's confession of bursting into tears immediately upon hearing the news has drawn particular attention, contrasting with his typically calm image.

In addition to Lindemann's happy news, the broadcast will also feature an update on Meat Man. Since becoming a regular, he noted he is feeling his increased popularity through 'Talk Pa One 25 O'Clock,' remarking, "These days, I've learned what filial piety is."

Furthermore, 'Sun Kim's Ssul-sa (History)' will highlight the Aum Shinrikyo subway sarin gas attack, one of Japan's worst terror incidents. The segment will retrace the background and actions of Aum Shinrikyo following the 1995 Tokyo subway sarin attack, which killed 13 people and injured approximately 6,300.
