Joo Jin-mo and Min Hye-yeon are going to be parents. The South Korean actor, 52, and his wife, a 41-year-old family medicine specialist, are expecting after seven years of marriage.

His agency, KHS Agency, confirmed the news in an official statement on Saturday. "The pregnancy is true," it said. But because it is still the early stage, the couple is being careful, and the agency said it could not share more details.

The couple married in a private ceremony in late 2019. Joo is best known for the films "Beauty Is Painful" and "A Frozen Flower" ("Ssanghwajeom") and the drama "Empress Ki". He made his debut in 1999 with the film "Dance Dance". Since the drama "Big Issue" in 2019, he has taken a break from acting.

For now, the couple has asked for patience. Nothing more has been announced.
