Soyeon shared the happy news through a heartfelt Instagram post, accompanied by photographs documenting this new chapter of her life.
Alongside pictures of her growing baby bump and an ultrasound image, she expressed her excitement about becoming a mother and reflected on the unexpected journey that brought them this happiness.

Soyeon Shares Heartfelt Pregnancy Announcement With Fans
In her Instagram post, Soyeon revealed that she had been waiting for the right moment to share the news.
Choosing their fourth wedding anniversary made the announcement even more meaningful.
She wrote:
“Today, November 1, marks our fourth wedding anniversary, and I want to share some incredibly grateful, precious, and joyful news. I’m so excited!
Our baby is on the way.
(I’m actually waddling around these days.)”
Soyeon then reflected on the past four years, explaining how she and Cho Yu Min had worked towards his dream of participating in another World Cup.
After achieving his first World Cup appearance, the footballer had been preparing for the 2026 tournament and successfully made the final squad.
However, just before he could fully celebrate the achievement, an injury during one of the group matches in the United States forced him to step away from the competition and return home.
Describing the difficult experience, Soyeon shared that their family received an unexpected blessing during one of the most challenging periods of her husband’s professional career.
“While we were working through this, the biggest trial of his career, God gave us a precious new life on a day we never could have expected or planned. I believe it was a miracle.”
She added that discovering the pregnancy had changed how both of them understood gratitude.
Since learning about their baby, they have been enjoying each day while looking forward to welcoming their little one.

The couple had originally planned to marry in November 2022, but their wedding ceremony was postponed because of his football commitments surrounding the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
They registered their marriage ahead of the ceremony.
Now, four years after beginning their married life, the couple is preparing to welcome their first child.
Soyeon’s pregnancy announcement has offered fans a glimpse into their personal happiness and the new family chapter they are looking forward to.
