On August 6, actor Jo Jung Suk and his wife Gummy welcomed their first daughter to the world!

It's a happy day for the couple as they gather in joy to welcome a healthy baby girl and so do their fans.  

In an official statement, the actor's agency JAM entertainment said: 

We would like to share this good news and let you know that Jo Jung Suk and Gummy welcomed a new addition to their family and that the mother and her newborn are both healthy.

Gummy gave birth to a healthy daughter at a hospital in Seoul on August 6th.

The couple is overjoyed for their first child.

We would sincerely thank everyone who extends their warm wishes for the couple and we all ask for your blessings for the newborn and for the whole family" - JAM Entertainment. 

Jo Jung Suk and Gummy announced early in January this year that they were delighted, expecting a new member of the family.

The couple had been dating for five long years and finally tied the knot in October of 2018.

This has been a great year for the couple given Jo Jung Suk's success with his newly-concluded drama "Hospital Playlist" and soon-to-be-released second season as one of Netflix's original series.

In one of his interviews, Jo Jung Suk shared how elated he is to act as a father since he will then experience the same thing as it is right now. The actor said, "It was also interesting for me that the first time I tried a role as a father it also overlapped with the time I'm becoming an actual father. Playing Ik Joon in the series made me realize how ideal his characters would be to an "ideal father" I want to be. It gave a positive influence on how I can be a good father to my own child and the treatment I will give to Woo Joo (Kim Joon) in the drama. I want to  become an actor that my child can be proud of."

The actor is also receiving praise for his remake of the OST soundtrack  "Aloha." The song hit the top of the chart for 12 consecutive weeks when it was released in April 2020. He then became the first-ever Korean actor who got nominated in the 2020 Melon Music Awards.

As for the Queen of OSTs, Gummy gave a warm rendition of her music this year. Even as she conceived her first baby, she gave her best performance in one of the soundtracks for "The King: Eternal Monarch" - the heartwarming song "My Love."

The couple is inspired to do good and work hard for their growing family.

Congratulations, Jo Jung Suk and Gummy!
