South Korean Actress Nam Bo-ra Shares Heartwarming Story of Her Husband and Pregnancy Announcement

Pregnant South Korean actress Nam Bo-ra recently expressed her affection for her husband on the popular JTBC show 'Knowing Bros,' which aired on the night of the 2nd.

During the episode, Nam Bo-ra revealed a surprising detail about her husband's past, sharing that he was a 'motae solo'—a term used in Korea for someone who has never dated—before meeting her. She met her husband at the age of 33 and was taken aback to learn about his dating history. Nam Bo-ra recounted, "Early in our relationship, I asked him why he didn't hold my hand, and he confessed that he had never held a woman's hand before."

Nam Bo-ra, who typically prefers to be led in relationships, shared how she took the initiative to guide their relationship forward. She humorously remarked, "I had to teach him everything from A to Z and upgrade him to an adult," drawing laughter from the audience. She noted that while her husband's innocence was charming, his lack of understanding of women's feelings was a downside.

Nam Bo-ra also shared a funny anecdote about her husband's quirky behavior during a trip, where instead of making up after a fight, he cautiously asked if they should add eggs to their meal, showcasing his unique personality. The couple met while volunteering, where her husband, though quiet, won her over by steadfastly supporting her efforts.

Nam Bo-ra's leadership shone through in their journey to marriage as well. She proposed the idea of marriage on their way home, sensing her husband's hesitation to bring it up. He agreed, suggesting they marry when she was ready. The official proposal came as a surprise during a trip to Tokyo, at a restaurant with a view of Tokyo Tower. Nam Bo-ra was moved to tears when her husband presented a sparkling ring from a blue case.

In a delightful announcement, Nam Bo-ra revealed she is 12 weeks pregnant, receiving warm congratulations from the show's cast. She showed her maternity badge and shared that she has recently overcome morning sickness and entered a stable phase of her pregnancy. Nam Bo-ra, who married a fellow entrepreneur of the same age last May, expressed her joy at expecting a child who resembles her husband, marking a double celebration for the couple.
