This isn’t big news (or even small news), but Kim Hee-sun’s new ads are out for casualwear brand VOLL’s fall fashions, and it might be worth noting that they were shot back in July, when the star was three months pregnant.

I know three months is barely anything on the spectrum of “visible signs” or “telltale baby bumps,” but still. Woman is pregnant and looks fantastic. (It’s always kinda weird knowing, even if you can’t see, isn’t it?)

Add two more high-profile actresses to the list of the recently knocked-up. (Kim Hee-sun announced her happy news in May and is currently three months pregnant; comedienne Park Kyung-lim announced hers, due January 2009, last month; and frequent variety-show host Kang Ho-dong becomes a father in March.)

“Queen of Cannes” Jeon Do-yeon (so called because of her Best Actress win at Cannes last year for Secret Sunshine) has just announced she is three months pregnant, and planning to give birth next February. Jeon was married last year to a businessman, and has just finished shooting her next project, the Lee Yoon-ki film My Dear Enemy [멋진 하루], which co-stars Ha Jung-woo.

Then there’s also newlywed TV actress Park Eun-hye (Yi San), who was married in April and has also just announced her pregnancy. Hers is the earliest of the bunch, currently only in its tenth week. Congrats to all, and I guess we can all expect to hear a bunch of birth announcements early next year.

Actress and newlywed Kim Hee Sun, married last October, has announced that she’s four weeks pregnant (a little early for the announcements, no?). In typical k-star fashion, she made the initial pronouncement on — what else? — her homepage.

Kim Hee Sun’s last project was the 2006 drama Smile Again, although she has done a little modeling for clothing brand VOLL in the interim. Originally, she’d planned to make her acting return in a drama sometime this year. Because of her condition, however, her comeback will be pushed back indefinitely as she devotes herself to prenatal care.

Or perhaps the question should be: Who’s getting attention for voting?

On the 19th (yesterday in Korea if we’re going by the time difference), Korea held its presidential elections. (Psst. Lee Myung-bak won.)

As for voting — turnout was low, but that didn’t stop the celebrities from showing up to exercise their civic duty. As with anything, people are much more interested when a famous person does it! (God I feel shallow).

Some highlights:

Lee Young Ae: The A-list actress got up early to cast her vote at 6:50am: “I’m a morning person.”

Actress Kim Hee Sun arrived at 4pm in Kangnam to vote quickly and speed away; her husband voted at a different station, since the newlywed couple’s marriage registration paperwork isn’t complete yet.
