Comedian Kim Jun-ho shared news regarding his pregnancy during an episode of the Channel S and E Channel program ‘Dokbak Tour’. Kim revealed that he and his wife, Kim Ji-min, who married in July last year, successfully conceived through in vitro fertilization.
Kim explained the story behind the baby’s nickname, ‘Dureup’. Following a promise made with Kim Ji-min to name the baby after a seasonal vegetable corresponding to the month of conception, they chose ‘Dureup’ because it is a seasonal vegetable available in April.
