Amid the ongoing global health crisis, blessings came to these K-pop artists as they welcome their babies to the world. These proud parents announced that their bundles of joy have arrived.
1. J.Y. Park
Jin Young Park excitedly announced the arrival of his second child on March 9. Soon after, netizens flooded his comments section with congratulatory messages. The little girl is yet to know that she is a princess to the founder and co-CEO of one of the biggest entertainment agencies in Korea, JYP Entertainment.

Knowing there're so many people struggling these days because of the disease, it's so hard to write anything on SNS but I thought I had to let you know this news. I was just given a beautiful little girl. Two years in a row, and now I became a father of two girls. Will do my best to raise them to be good influences in this complicated world. My heart is heavy to receive this blessing when so many people are struggling. I wish we can all come together to overcome this crisis. A post shared by J.Y.

5. T-ARA Ahreum
Another female idol witnessed her child this year. Ahreum shared the lovely news in May through her Instagram account. She also shared the real struggle of pregnancy labor due but found happiness after finally seeing her baby boy.
Amidst several backlash from Korean netizens last year due to premarital pregnancy, Ahreum has always been proud to show off her journey as mom.

6. EXO Chen
Chen announced in January this year that he is getting married to his non-celebrity girlfriend and consequently said that they were expecting. However, some Korean fans didn't like the idea and expressed their objections to the idol's new life journey. They sent back his merchandise to SM Entertainment, rallied, and even planned to defame him in his hometown, Siheung. Nevertheless, tons of fans, most of whom are from overseas, supported him all the way.
Then, the good news finally arrived in April when Chen's wife gave birth to their baby girl, which massively got support from EXO-Ls worldwide.
Despite the current struggles brought by the pandemic, welcoming a little nestling is something that should be seen as a blessing. Congratulations to the birth of these babies this 2020!
