Actress Yoo-jin So (32) gave birth to a healthy boy on Wednesday (KST) at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Seocho after 11 hours in labor. Her husband Jong-won Baek (47)—a successful restauranteur—was by the actress’ side during the whole process.

So tweeted next day, “Thank you so much for your blessings from the morning.” and she also shared the news on her Facebook, “After 11 hours in labor, I gave birth to my child last night on the 9th, three days past the original due date.. Maybe it’s because I thought it would be very painful and was very nervous, but it was better than I thought it would be.”

So and Baek tied the knot in January 2013 and So confirmed the pregnancy news in November same year. This is the first marriage and child for the couple.
