On the 14th, SM Entertainment, the agency representing Sungmin, announced to Sports Chosun that “Sungmin became a father on the 13th.” They also revealed Sungmin’s sentiments about the birth: “He is very happy and delighted, yet he feels a sense of responsibility as a father. He thanks everyone who has congratulated him.”
Sungmin shared a photo of his son on social media, stating, “Hello everyone, this is Popo. Thanks to your support and prayers for a smooth delivery, both mother and baby are healthy. I am grateful. I will raise him with love and care. Our Popo smiled at me as soon as he was born. I love you.”
Having married in 2014, Sungmin and Kim Sa-eun welcomed their first child on the 13th, coinciding with their tenth wedding anniversary. Sungmin, who announced back in July that they were expecting, expressed his excitement about fatherhood during an appearance on MBC Standard FM’s Son Tae-jin’s Trot Radio on the 12th, stating, “Until today, I was Sungmin, but from tomorrow, I will be Father Sungmin. My son will be born tomorrow.”
Born in 1986, Sungmin debuted with Super Junior in 2005 and has garnered immense love from global fans. However, since 2014, he has been on an indefinite hiatus from group activities, with many viewing it as a de facto departure. He started his solo career in 2019 and has been active as a trot singer since last year.
Kim Sa-eun, who was born in 1985 and is a year older than Sungmin, was previously a vocalist in the project group Banana Girl’s fourth album released in 2008. After marrying Sungmin, she garnered attention by participating in shows like Taste of Wife and Miss Trot 2.
