Former AOA member Yuna has shared some joyful news with her fans—she’s expecting her first child with her husband, producer Kang Jung Hoon (also known as Friday from the music production team GALACTIKA). On July 3, Yuna made the announcement via Instagram, posting a photo of her baby’s sonogram alongside a deeply personal and heartfelt message. The couple, who married in February 2024, have generally kept their relationship and personal lives private, making this reveal all the more meaningful to longtime fans.
In her message, Yuna opened up about the emotional journey she’s been on since discovering her pregnancy. She described the feeling as both “awkward and hard to believe,” but also shared how watching her baby grow day by day has filled her with happiness. She expressed her gratitude for this new chapter and promised to focus on staying physically and emotionally healthy as she prepares for motherhood. Her warmth came through clearly as she sent well wishes to fans, hoping they stay safe and happy during the hot summer days, and sweetly referred to her soon-to-be “family of three.”
Yuna originally debuted with AOA in 2012 and quickly gained attention for her strong vocals and charming presence. After stepping away from idol life in 2021, she stayed in touch with her fans through social media, fitness content, and lifestyle updates. Meanwhile, her husband has made his mark in the K-pop industry, helping produce some of the genre’s most recognizable songs for groups like TWICE and ITZY. Despite both being public figures, they’ve remained relatively low-key as a couple—until now.
The announcement was met with an outpouring of love online. Fans who’ve followed Yuna since her early days in AOA filled her comments with congratulations and supportive messages. Many expressed how touched they were by her words and how excited they are to see her embrace this new phase in life. It’s clear that even after stepping away from the spotlight, Yuna still holds a special place in the hearts of many.
