1 hour ago
Comedian Ahn Young Mi is preparing to welcome her second child, but what should have been a simple maternity update quickly turned into another round of heated speculation.
On June 22, 2026 (KST), Ahn Young Mi’s agency, Media Lab Siso, confirmed to Star News that the comedian will be giving birth to her second child in Korea, not the United States. A representative stated, “Ahn Young Mi is currently full-term and plans to give birth to her second child in Korea.” The agency also shared that her husband, who is currently in the United States, will be returning to Korea in time for the birth.
Ahn Young Mi is scheduled to give birth by C-section next week. Her husband will also return to Korea right before the scheduled date and be present for the birth. Ahn Young Mi had also said on the radio that she would be giving birth to her second child in Korea.

The clarification came after Ahn Young Mi shared an update on her personal social media account on June 21, writing, “I’ll be back after a safe and healthy birth.” She also announced that she would be temporarily stepping away from MBC FM4U’s “Two O’Clock Date, This Is Ahn Young Mi” for maternity leave.
However, after the post, some online communities and social media users began questioning whether Ahn Young Mi would travel to the United States again to give birth.
Some netizens reacted critically, bringing up her first childbirth and questioning why her husband would not be in Korea earlier. Others asked whether she was planning to give birth in the United States again, while some accused her of wanting another so-called “birth tourism” situation.
- For her firstborn, she got pregnant in the US and then stayed in Korea throughout the pregnancy, only to go back to the US for the actual birth. She then celebrated her child’s first birthday in Korea without her husband. Her second baby also follows that timeline… This is a little weird.
- What’s so great about a husband who doesn’t even come for his own child’s first birthday, that she’s having a second pregnancy too? Interesting.
- Wait, so what, she keeps giving birth in the U.S. while her husband can’t even come back to Korea for his own child’s first birthday? LOL, seriously fascinating.
- I don’t get it. Is her husband on the run from something in Korea? Ahn Young Mi only goes back to the U.S. when she’s getting pregnant or giving birth…? Because it looks like she’s raising her children in Korea on her own. Can’t he even come in for the first kid’s birthday?
- Does her husband actually exist? LOL. Even if her husband works overseas, it’s rare to live separately in different countries like that.
- It would be much easier for the husband to fly in for her birth, but no. Every time, the pregnant woman ends up going to the U.S…. LOL.
- Is she going to the U.S. to give birth because her husband is there?? Her parents are here too, so Korea would be more comfortable.
- She’s trying really hard to make sure her kids don’t have to serve in the military in Korea.
Ahn Young Mi previously gave birth to her first son in 2023 after traveling to the United States, where her husband was living at the time. The decision sparked controversy, with some accusing her of giving birth in the U.S. so her child could obtain American citizenship.

At the time, Ahn Young Mi’s side pushed back against the speculation, explaining that she had made the decision so she could share the joy of childbirth with her husband, who was working in the United States.
Now, with the birth of her second child approaching, her agency has made it clear that she will be delivering in Korea. Her husband is expected to return from the United States shortly before the scheduled C-section to be by her side.
Ahn Young Mi married her non-celebrity husband, who works in the United States, in 2020. The couple welcomed their first son in 2023 and are now preparing for the birth of their second child.
