ChoA, a former member of K-pop girl group Crayon Pop, has revealed that she is expecting twins, four years after getting married and two years after battling cancer.

ChoA shared the news on her social media on Sept. 5, writing, “The precious life we have long awaited has finally come to us,” drawing congratulations from fans. She married a non-celebrity in 2021.

ChoA disclosed that two years ago she was diagnosed with cancer and told by several university hospitals that pregnancy would not be possible. Refusing to give up hope, she underwent surgery and fertility treatments. Eventually, she succeeded through in vitro fertilization.

Now ten weeks pregnant, ChoA said she initially kept it quiet out of caution but felt she could no longer hide it.

Despite transferring only one embryo to reduce the risk of premature birth, she became pregnant with identical twins through natural division, which she described as a 1 percent probability. She has given them the temporary names “Heart” and “Cute.”

“Although I was worried at first, now I only think about carrying them well and delivering them healthily. I will keep showing that hope is possible, so please watch over me,” she said.

ChoA debuted with Crayon Pop in 2012 and married her partner, six years her senior, in Dec. 2021. She publicly revealed her battle with cervical cancer in October last year.
