One of Korean entertainment's most talked-about couples is expanding their family.
Actor and singer Lee Seung-gi and actress Lee Da-in are expecting their second child. His agency Big Planet Made Entertainment confirmed the news on February 12, saying Lee Da-in is currently five months pregnant and that the couple is focused on prenatal care and the mother's health. The announcement comes almost exactly two years after the birth of their first daughter on February 5, 2024.

The birth of their daughter the following year marked their first step into parenthood, and the couple has been vocal about how much the experience has meant to them.
Lee Seung-gi in particular became something of a self-confessed daughter person after his first child was born. On the variety show My Little Old Boy, he talked about the simple pleasure of dropping his daughter off at school and picking her up again, and described the way she runs toward him calling "Dad" as something that erases every hard day. He also shared on another programme that his daughter looks like both parents, and that questions about who she resembles have become a regular part of his public appearances.

With the second pregnancy now confirmed, the couple is expected to welcome their second child sometime around mid-2026. Industry observers note the timing arrives as South Korea's entertainment industry has been more openly discussing work-life balance and parental responsibilities in recent years, with Lee Seung-gi often cited as one of the more candid male celebrities on the subject.
