Actor Han Da-gam announced on Monday that she is expecting her first child.

Han, 45, described the news as a “blessing from heaven” after “years of running forward without looking back” and said she expects to “meet the baby in the autumn” in an Instagram post.

She also called her pregnancy a “deeply grateful and miraculous moment,” adding that she may be “one of the oldest first-time mothers in the acting industry.”

“It feels like I’m stepping into a second chapter of my life,” she wrote. “As an older expectant mother, I’ll exercise, take care of myself and be extra cautious as I move forward into this new phase.”

Han debuted under the name Han Eun-jung in 1999 through the television series “For the Sake of Love” (1999). She later appeared in the series “Full House” (2004), “Grudge: The Revolt of Gumiho” (2010) and “Durian's Affair” (2023). She adopted her current stage name in 2018.

Han married a businessman in 2020.
