August 5th marks the day when a new member was added to the YG Family. Don't be confused because it's not a new trainee under YG Entertainment, but a baby being born to Yang Hyun--suk and Lee Eun-joo-II.
Originally a member of the girl group Sweety, Lee gave birth to a 2.78 kg daughter at 2:01 PM in Seoul. Both mother and child are reporteded to be healthy and doing well. This is truly a special milestone in the nine year relationship between the happy couple. Though they've been dating for almost a decade, they only came out in the open with their relationship last March. News of Lee's pregnancy soon hit media sources that following May.
The entertainment giant announced that he still can't believe that he's a now a father. In an earlier interview first announcing Lee's pregnancy, he touched up on the subject of Korea's still somewhat conservative and confucianism-based society where having children outside of wedlock is frowned upon. He pointed out that he's been with his young girlfriend for quite some time now and they think of themselves no different from officially married couples. He also revealed that they had baby plans from three to four years back.
Yang used to be a member of Seo Taiji and the Boys in the 90's before he set up one of the most successful entertainment companies in the kpop industry. It's home to some of the biggest acts: Se7en, Gummy, 2NE1, Big Bang, Jinusean, etc. Lee Eun-joo-II was active as a Sweety-member and in another group on and off from 2002-2007. She's also the sister of Sech Skies member Lee Jae-jin-II.
