Before announcing their pregnancy to the public, these idols were actively performing on stage, wearing high heels and tight clothing.
In the Korean entertainment industry, idols who become pregnant before marriage are not recognized and will be severely criticized. Because of this, it is extremely rare for a female idol to become pregnant before marriage or even fall in love during an event.
However, some female celebrities are able to hide their pregnancy and manage to continue performing while pregnant with their first child.
1. Sunye of wonder girls group
In 2007, jyp entertainment launched its first girl group wonder girls, with sunye as the leader. During the group's heyday, she became one of the group's most popular members, gaining global fame with the hit song "nobody."
Shockingly, Sunye got married and had a child in 2013, but she remained a member of Wonder Girls until JYP Entertainment officially confirmed her departure from the group in 2015.
2. Sohyun of crayon pop group
In 2012, Sohyun entered the Korean pop music scene as the lead singer and maknae of crayon pop group. They became popular around the world with their hit song "bar bar bar".
In 2016, chrome entertainment, to which the group belongs, announced that due to Zhaoye suffering from anxiety disorder, she would suspend her participation in the group's "evolution pop vol.1" comeback schedule.
But in November, shockingly, she announced her marriage to former H.O.T group member Moon Hee-jun, whom they had started dating in April of that year. The two held their wedding in February 2017 and welcomed the birth of their baby in May of the same year.
Judging from the timeline, Zhaoxuan was pregnant before getting married, and she officially quit the group shortly after giving birth.
3. Former Laboum member Yulhee
In 2017, when Laboum group was still in its infancy, Yulhee got pregnant and she was only 20 years old at that time.
She initially hid the matter from her parents and company, but as her pregnancy entered the third month, her belly became more and more obvious when performing on stage, and it became increasingly difficult to hide it.
She eventually left the group in November of the same year and married Choi Minhwan of ftisland after giving birth to her son in 2018.
They welcomed another set of twin daughters in 2020. But after six years of living together, the two divorced in 2024.
This phenomenon reflects the difficult situation faced by idols. On the one hand, they are faced with the difficult choice between pregnancy and career development at the peak of their careers. Although concealing their pregnancy and continuing to perform shows they are dedicated, they are also under tremendous pressure. On the other hand, society's critical attitude towards idols becoming pregnant before marriage also highlights the conflicts and contradictions between entertainment culture and traditional concepts.
