Lee Hyo-jung set to become a grandfather; Lee Yu-jin and Cha Kyung-eun pregnant before wedding

Actor Lee Hyo-jung will soon become a 'grandfather'. Following the announcement that her son, director and actor Lee Yu-jin, is marrying actor Cha Kyung-eun, the news of a pregnancy has also been shared, bringing unexpected double celebrations to Lee Hyo-jung's family. Interest is also pouring in from the entertainment industry at the news of the two announcing both marriage and the birth of a new life at the same time.

The sides of Lee Yu-jin and Cha Kyung-eun announced the marriage news along with the pregnancy on the 6th. They stated that after deciding to form a marital bond and preparing for marriage with the permission of both families, they recently discovered the pregnancy, and currently, both the two actors and the entire family are preparing to welcome the new life with joyful hearts.

However, specific details regarding the pregnancy were not disclosed. They remained reserved regarding details such as the expected due date, citing that it is a private matter. While the marriage and pregnancy of celebrities are matters that receive public attention, it is interpreted as an intention to convey the news only within the scope that the parties involved have decided to disclose.

The connection between the two began through a work. It is known that they grew close while working together on Lee Yu-jin's first directing work, 'Cast Me When You See a Way!'. While working together as director and actor, their relationship naturally deepened, and they have been in a serious relationship on the premise of marriage since last June. This means they promised marriage about 5 months after starting their relationship.

The wedding will be held on November 14 at a location in Seoul. Following the decision to marry despite the short dating period, and then delivering the news of pregnancy, the relationship of the two has quickly entered a new phase. Above all, public interest is growing even more as the process from dating and marriage to forming a family has been revealed all at once.

This marriage is also special to Cha Kyung-eun's family. Cha Kyung-eun's older sister, actor Kim Seung-yun, is also scheduled to hold a wedding with actor Jang Dong-yoon this coming October. It means the sisters will each hold weddings with only a one-month interval between them. It is rare enough for sisters in one family to announce marriage news consecutively, but it has become an unusual family history even in the entertainment industry as both are connected through acting.

With Lee Yu-jin's marriage and pregnancy added to this, both families will experience major changes of marriage and childbirth in succession within a few months. Especially for Lee Hyo-jung, following her son's marriage, the moment of welcoming a grandchild coincides, marking the beginning of a family time that is different from her life as an actor.

In the entertainment industry, marriage is an event where families are connected beyond an individual's life. As in this case, the process where two actors who met through a work become a real couple and welcome a new family with the blessings of both families is an example where the private lives of actors and their professional connections intertwine. Lee Yu-jin and Cha Kyung-eun will open a new chapter of their lives as they become a married couple and begin preparing to become parents this coming November.
