Former T-ARA vocalist Soyeon had double the reason to celebrate on November 1. The 39-year-old singer announced on Instagram that she is pregnant — choosing her fourth wedding anniversary with footballer Cho Yu-min, 29, to share the news. The couple married in 2022 after three years of dating.
Soyeon revealed she first learned she was pregnant on June 22, and the baby’s prenatal nickname is “Power.” Hashtags in her post revealed the couple are expecting a boy, due next year. She shared an ultrasound photo, baby-bump pictures and pages from her pregnancy journal with fans.
Her husband brought the charm. Cho, who plays for Tokyo Verdy in Japan’s J.League, mimicked her belly with a soccer ball tucked under his shirt and even applied pedicure polish to her feet. On November 2, Soyeon posted a photo of Cho returning home with a huge bouquet of flowers, calling it “Yumin’s Cho-prise after an away match.”
The pregnancy arrives amid a difficult year for Cho: he made South Korea’s World Cup final squad but was injured during a group match in the United States and had to return home alone. The happy news has clearly lifted the household.
The announcement also delivered a T-ARA reunion moment. Former bandmate Hahm Eunjung commented “Unni, congratulations so, so much” — ending feud rumors after Soyeon missed Eunjung’s wedding last November — while Jiyeon and Hyomin liked the post. After months of secrecy, the Soyeon T-ARA pregnancy news has the K-pop world celebrating.
