Former T-ARA member Areum has announced she’s expecting her fourth child with the same boyfriend she broke up with after experiencing assault and threats.
On October 1, Areum belatedly reported that she had already given birth to her third baby and first daughter in September. In the post, she attached their photo, sternly debunking the initial rumors that she aborted the baby.
She criticized netters for doubting her and wrote:
“I’m a person who loves children very much. I originally liked kids, so how much more so must my babies be? My maternal love is so strong that I find speculative articles about my children especially shocking to read.”
She then revealed the nickname of her baby, calling her Mideum, the Korean word for “faith.”
On Nov. 4th, it was also belatedly revealed that Areum is again pregnant, now with her fourth baby, based on her partner’s post. Person “B,” the idol’s non-celebrity boyfriend announced the news with an ultrasound photo. The couple named the baby, 라화 (Rahwa).
With the news, netizens are rooting for Areum’s life and health, as she has been through a lot.
In December 2023, she filed a divorce with her first husband whom she married in 2019 and had two sons with. At the time, she also announced that she had a new boyfriend and was pregnant with their first baby.
However, controversies arose about her credibility in taking care of kids when she attempted to take her own life while her two sons were in her custody, just right after admitting that they were victims of domestic violence done by her ex-husband and her mother-in-law.
While she faced a counter-lawsuit from her ex for neglecting their kids, Areum faced more issues as she was accused of extorting money from fans together with her new partner.
After that issue, Areum claimed that she was also assaulted and threatened by her second partner, which led to their breakup, but they decided to reunite and start anew for their kids.
