Taeyang is now officially a father after several news outlets confirmed Min Hyo-rin had given birth to their first child on Monday, Dec. 6. The actress just confirmed her pregnancy on Sept. 27.
Barely three months after Min Hyo-rin's announcement, the couple is now officially parents. Soompi noted Hankool Ilbo reported Taeyang and his wife had welcomed a baby boy.
The BIGBANG member's agency, YG Entertainment, even confirmed the news. "Taeyang's wife Min Hyo-rin recently gave birth to a healthy son," it said.
Alternatively, the actress' agency, Plum Entertainment, confirmed its artist was already expecting and joyfully waiting to be a mother in an announcement in September, per Rappler. However, as the 35-year-old star wanted to give birth privately, they asked for fans' understanding that she would not respond to any further questions.
In fact, at the time, the agency did not reveal when Min Hyo-rin would give birth.
Meanwhile, the "Sunny" star and Taeyang are among the few married celebrity couples in Korea that fans know today. But did you know how they became a couple is kind of unique?
Koreaboo revealed it was G-Dragon who introduced these two to each other. The "Happy Loner" actress, then, became the singer-songwriter's opposite lead star in his music video for "1AM" in 2014.
The two acted like a real couple in the clip, with a lot of romantic scenes together. From here, the reel turned real.
They eventually developed feelings for each other and became a real-life couple in the same year they did the music video. From here, Taeyang and Min Hyo-rin made their relationship public.
Later, YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyung-suk confirmed the two's romance. Channel Korea cited that he even said Taeyang was lonely and had never dated anyone before.
However, it could not be denied that the hitmaker's fans were worried about his status. At the time, he was filming for "Sketchbook," so his boss could not ask for further details about his relationship.
But as he heard it from his manager, he could confirm it was true. So, he asked his fans not to worry about anything, as it brought joy to their favorite Taeyang.
They should congratulate him instead and he himself was even happy for him. Min Hyo-rin was his first girlfriend and Yang Hyung-suk hoped it would help his career.
Eventually, the two got engaged and tied the knot in 2018 before Taeyang enlisted in the army. After two years of marriage, they now have a son together.
