Kim Ji-min shows off glowing pregnancy look despite morning sickness

Comedian Kim Ji-min shared a glimpse into her life as an expectant mother, revealing her current status during pregnancy. Although she has been experiencing "eating morning sickness"—a type of nausea characterized by increased appetite—the recently released photos highlighted her signature bright expression and natural aura.

On the 29th, Kim posted two photos on her SNS without additional explanation. In the images, she is taking a selfie inside a vehicle. Wearing a striped shirt, Kim showed a relaxed side, smiling brightly toward the camera.

Currently pregnant, Kim was previously reported to be suffering from "eating morning sickness," a form of nausea where appetite increases. While it is common for the face, hands, or feet to swell during pregnancy due to hormonal changes and fluid retention, her relatively natural facial lines and bright expression in these photos caught the public's attention.

However, since physical changes during pregnancy vary greatly from person to person, one cannot judge a pregnancy or health status based solely on photos. The reason this update garnered attention is likely a combination of her appearance and the public's interest in Kim's changing daily life as she awaits her first child following her marriage.

The news of a second generation for Kim Ji-min and Kim Jun-ho has become another important turning point in the couple's relationship following their marriage last year. After tying the knot following a long, public relationship, the couple has showcased their uniquely cheerful marital bond through variety shows and SNS.

In particular, earlier this year, the couple was seen joking about the nickname for their unborn child. When Kim Jun-ho gave Kim a nickname reminiscent of "breakfast," Kim jokingly responded that if it is a son, they should call him "Kim Jo-sik," and if it is a daughter, "Kim Seok-sik," drawing laughter.

Subsequently, the couple announced the pregnancy, and on the 20th, they revealed the gender of their child, whose nickname is "Durub." While Kim Jun-ho was hoping for a daughter, the result was a son. As blue confetti, symbolizing a boy, burst, the two could not hide their joy as they embraced each other.

The timing of the birth has also been specified. Kim previously revealed that she is expected to give birth in early February 2027, and the couple is currently preparing to become full-fledged parents while waiting for the arrival of their first child.

For Kim, this pregnancy is an event that brings changes not just to her personal joy, but also to her narrative as a broadcaster. As her relationship with Kim Jun-ho has garnered public interest for a long time, attention naturally follows their life as a married couple and the new stage they will face as parents.

In particular, Kim Jun-ho has been showing his side as an "expectant father" in recent broadcasts by expressing affection for the unborn child. In a recent program, he drew laughter after making a joke as if hoping for a daughter, only to receive realistic rebuttals from his colleagues.

In these photos, Kim shared a scene from her daily life without exaggerated staging, even while undergoing the major changes of pregnancy. Rather than glamorous maternity pictorials or special messages, her ordinary appearance smiling inside a car naturally conveyed her current sense of happiness.

Kim Ji-min and Kim Jun-ho, who became a married couple, are now facing a new relationship as parents. Interest is gathering on how the unique, cheerful chemistry they showed during their long courtship and marriage will evolve into a family dynamic after the birth.
