Singer and actress Son Dam-bi gave birth to a baby girl on Friday, her agency said.

"Son Dam-bi gave birth to a daughter this afternoon," her agency Blitzway Entertainment said in an official statement. "Both the mother and baby are healthy and currently resting with their family."

The agency added, "We ask for many blessings and warm support for Son Dam-bi’s family as they welcome this precious new life."

Son married former national speed skating champion Lee Kyou-hyuk in 2022. In September last year, her agency announced her pregnancy, saying, "Son Dam-bi and her family are focusing on prenatal care with great joy."

Last month, Son posted a baby emoji and the message "Not much time left" on her social media account, expressing excitement about meeting her child. She also drew attention by sharing maternity photos.

Son debuted in 2007 with the album “Cry Eye.” She rose to fame with hits including “Crazy,” “On a Saturday Night,” and “Queen.” She has also built a solid acting career through dramas such as "Lights and Shadows," "What Happens to My Family," "Mrs. Cop 2," and "When the Camellia Blooms," as well as films like "The Accidental Detective 2: In Action" and "Rose of Betrayal."
