Kim So-hui: Retirement at 25, Marriage to Someone 15 Years Older, and a Second Child in Just 2 Years

Kim So-hui, formerly of the girl group Elris, is becoming a mother of two just two years after her marriage. After leaving the entertainment industry to lead an ordinary life with her family, Kim So-hui shared the joyful news of her second pregnancy, providing a welcome update on her recent life.

On the 7th, Kim So-hui posted several photos on her social media with the message, “I'm having a second baby!!! Kyaa♥ For your information, I'm already 5 months along. We are a family of four now.” In the photos, Kim So-hui is smiling brightly while cradling her protruding belly with both hands.

Her appearance, which is not significantly different from her time in the entertainment industry, also drew attention. Above all, as she is now moving beyond being a mother of one to carrying a second child, the atmosphere felt in the photos provided a different kind of comfort compared to the image she showed on stage in the past.

Kim So-hui also shared glimpses of her daily life with family and friends. From showing affection by making a heart shape over her head with her husband to the sight of her daughter's back as she toddles along, every photo was imbued with the small happiness of her family. As her words “Posting a collection of love after a long time” suggest, the photos captured ordinary yet special moments.

Kim So-hui's life path changed relatively quickly. Born in 1999, she made a name for herself by becoming the runner-up on SBS's &lsquereK-pop Star 6: The Last Chance’ in 2017, and debuted as a member of the group Elris in the same year. Later, in 2023, she expanded her career into acting by appearing in the TVING original series &lsquereDuty After School’.

However, in April 2024, she announced her retirement from the entertainment industry upon marrying a businessman 15 years her senior. After leaving the stage and the camera, she focused on her home and became a mother after welcoming her first daughter last year. And just two years later, she has shared the new news of her second pregnancy.

At the age of 25, Kim So-hui set aside her career in the entertainment industry and chose a life with her family. Now, she is continuing her new life as a mother raising two children. The short phrase, “We are a family of four now,” fully reflects the greatest change she has encountered.
