Yu Jae-seok, a comedian and entertainer, and his wife Na Kyung-eun, an announcer on MBC, will become parents next year, according to his agency De Chocolate E&TF.
The couple married in July last year after dating for nearly two years.
``Na is in her third month of pregnancy and both mom and baby are healthy,'' the agency said, adding that Yu and his parents are very pleased with Na's pregnancy.
Nicknamed as an ``MC of the Nation'' and voted as the most popular Korean comedian, Yu has hosted several variety television shows in Korea, including the hugely popular program "Muhan Dojeon."
