Kim Heechul couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw his longtime friend, Son Dam Bi, with a big baby bump.

On the March 23 episode of SBS’s My Little Old Boy, Kim Heechul paid a visit to Son Dam Bi’s home. The two have been friends for 23 years, and he stopped by to cheer her on as she prepared for childbirth.

The moment he saw her, Kim Heechul was shocked. "Are you messing with me? I really can't believe this," he blurted out. Son Dam Bi laughed and showed off her belly, saying, "It’s almost time. I only have a month left until I give birth."

Still in disbelief, Heechul jokingly said, "Are you sure you didn’t just stuff something in your belly? Honestly, I wish this wouldn’t air on TV."

He added, "If my mom finds out that you, the one she picked as her ideal daughter-in-law, are pregnant, she’s going to be insanely jealous."

Son Dam Bi also opened up about her journey to pregnancy. "Actress Choi Ji Woo became an icon for late pregnancy when she gave birth at 46. I’m having my baby at 43, so it’s considered a late pregnancy. But I feel lucky that the baby came to me at this age," she shared.

She revealed that she underwent IVF. "It usually takes around seven to eight tries, but for me, it happened in just two attempts. I failed the first time, then gained some weight before trying again, and I successfully got pregnant on the second attempt."

Son Dam Bi married former national speed skating champion Lee Kyu Hyuk in 2022. After two rounds of IVF, she announced her pregnancy last year. Her baby, nicknamed "Ddabong," is expected to arrive in April!

Former DIA member Somyi is taking legal action against the YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute (Gaseyeon) for spreading false rumors about her alleged relationship with PocketDol Studio’s CEO, Kim Kwang Soo.

On March 28, Somyi’s agency, Modenberry Korea, released an official statement, saying, “We will take legal action against ‘Gaseyeon’ for spreading false claims that Somyi and CEO Kim Kwang Soo were in a relationship.”

The agency strongly condemned the allegations, adding, “‘Gaseyeon’ broadcasted false claims that Somyi and Kim Kwang Soo were dating, intentionally spreading misinformation. This is a clear case of defamation, and we will take strong legal measures to protect our artist.”

They also made it clear that they won’t stand for any more baseless rumors, stating, “We will not tolerate reckless speculation about our artist. We are already gathering evidence through legal representatives and will respond with a zero-tolerance policy.”

The controversy started when Gaseyeon uploaded a video titled “DIA Members Fighting Over One Man”, claiming that Somyi, Kim Kwang Soo, and another DIA member, referred to as A, were involved in a love triangle.

The claims quickly gained attention, especially due to the 39-year age gap between Kim Kwang Soo (born in 1961) and Somyi (born in 2000).

Meanwhile, Modenberry Korea recently announced on March 27th that they had signed an exclusive contract with Somyi, marking a new chapter in her career.

Somyi debuted as a member of DIA in 2017 and was active for about two years before leaving the group.

After parting ways with PocketDol Studio, she transitioned into a BJ (broadcast jockey) and has continued her career in that field.
