At the age of 43, music star Seo Taiji is finally a father. And he loves it.

Seo’s wife, Lee Eun-sung, an actress 16 years his junior, gave to a healthy baby girl at CHA Medical Center in Gangnam, southern Seoul, Wednesday.

Sources close to Seo said the singer was “overwhelmingly happy” with the birth and that his daughter and wife were doing well. He said he hoped to become an excellent father.

The couple married in June of last year at the singer’s mansion in Pyeongchang-dong, northern Seoul. The singer unexpectedly broke the news in a Facebook post.

Seo is currently working on his new album, which is scheduled to be released October.
