Kim Kang-woo (Story of a Man) married quietly earlier this year, and now he’s announced that he and his wife are expecting their first child. They married in June after a seven-year courtship, having been introduced by friends in 2003. This also means that actress Han Hye-jin (Jejoongwon) will be an aunt — his wife is her older sister.
A representative from Kim’s management company, Namoo Actors, stated on the 8th that the couple is three months into the pregnancy, which puts the expected delivery date sometime in spring. Kim is generally protective of his privacy, so there were some at his management company who didn’t even know the truth until the reports leaked to the press: “He’s amazed at how the news got out, but he’s extremely happy at becoming a father.”
Most recently, Kim starred in the action-thriller film Invincible, a remake of the classic Hong Kong noir A Better Tomorrow, which he follows with upcoming maritime-police drama Poseidon, where he’ll play Eric’s main rival and friend in an elite team of counterterrorism agents. Can’t wait for all the bromancey goodness to come — surely it will come, right? I mean, frenemies/rivals on the same military team? It’s Maverick and Iceman, yo, to a tee. Can you play volleyball at sea?
Poseidon is aiming to air early next year and is currently filming.

Wow congrats!!
woo congrats to the ! confetti in the air
coming from a conservative background, it’s nice to see celebrities announce their baby news AFTER marriage and not before
Yeah, all the other celebs better hope their kids don’t grow up to be mathematical geniuses…
no need to be mathematical geniuses… they can search their parents on google and shazam(!) they’ll find out about everything LOL
i’m pretty much always “yay babies!” but is it bad that what really got me about this story was the top gun reference? seriously though, who wouldn’t be psyched for some maverick/iceman style bromance at sea?
Don`t worry, Top Gun reference got me too
. I was always in team Iceman. Congratulations to Kim Kang-woo and his wife.
Congratulations to him and his wife and all the family! He’s a great actor.
Awesome! Congratulations! I didn’t know he married HHJ’s older sis though. I wonder what the sex will be. Whatever it is it will be adorable.
congrats to kim kang woo and wife, and also to han hye jin! hope to see a pic of the baby when it arrives, i’m sure it’ll be adorable.
I notice that korean actors/actresses have really long courtships before marriage. I mean, 6-7 years seem to be the norm, if not longer…
I agree! Personally, I find it amazing for an unmarried relationship to last that long… And as you pointed out, this is more like the norm rather than a few unexpected cases…
Has Kim Kang-woo already fulfilled his military service?
he’s 32, so i would think yes.
Congrats to Kim Kang-woo!~
Can you play volleyball at sea?
Shuffleboard. Intense shuffleboard.
I honestly thought that this was Kim Sang Woo.
“Can you play volleyball at sea?”
Sure, why not? Just throw some sand on the deck and we’re set.

I always thought Kim Kang Woo looks very much like Kwon Sang Woo and from the comments I’m not alone
“Can you play volleyball at sea?”
Just dump truck loads of sand on board of the USS George
Congrats to the newly-to-be parents!
I love a man who truly understands privacy and protection. May KKW’s wife be blessed a safe and healthy delivery to their first newborn.
lol man he does look like kang sang woo, it made me confuse for a moment. I was like ” didn’t they already have a baby, how can it be their first??” Man their names look similar too
