Hong Ah-rim, known to viewers as Ok-soon from the 28th season of the reality dating show I Am Solo, announced she is 21 weeks pregnant with her second child, detailing her changing daily routine and weight gain in a recent YouTube video on her channel, Hong Ah-rim.
Pregnancy Update and Daily Routine Adjustments
According to the YouTube video titled “An Appetizing Day: Pregnancy 21 Weeks ‘Muk-duk’ Daily Life,” Ok-soon shared that she experienced a sudden surge in appetite—known locally as “muk-duk”—following early pregnancy morning sickness, leading her to eat constantly. Ok-soon stated that her bump has grown to the point where regular elastic-waist bands feel uncomfortable, requiring her to switch to maternity trousers. She mentioned that she frequently asked her husband, Yeong-ho, if her bump was noticeable, but ultimately accepted the change after her 7-year-old daughter reassured her that pregnant women naturally develop a prominent stomach.
Weight Gain and Medical Guidance
Addressing her physical changes, Ok-soon revealed that her weight has increased by 7 kilograms, rising from 45 to 46 kilograms in March to 52 kilograms currently. Following a recent hospital checkup, she reported that her unborn second child, nicknamed “Yuldong-i,” is developing healthily and appropriately for her gestational age. Ok-soon noted that her doctor advised her to manage her weight during the middle trimester because weight gain accelerates significantly by full term, prompting her to attempt cutting out late-night snacks despite the difficulty.
Background on the Couple
Born in 1991, Ok-soon connected with Yeong-ho, born in 1989, during the 28th “divorced singles” special of ENA and SBS Plus’s I Am Solo. The couple completed their marriage registration in February following the show and are now expecting their second daughter together, joining Ok-soon’s first daughter in preparing for the new addition to their family.
