Musical actress So Jeong-hwa announced her pregnancy on the 9th, sharing that she and husband Cha Yun-hae have nicknamed the baby "Salt." The couple, who married in June 2023 following their 2021 meeting in the musical 'Fan Letter,' expects the child to arrive as the weather turns cooler.

Musical actress So Jeong-hwa personally announced her pregnancy through her social media on the 9th. Along with the message, "Nice to meet you, baby. A VIP has visited our home," So Jeong-hwa revealed that the baby's nickname is "Salt."

Regarding the nickname, So Jeong-hwa explained that it carries the meaning of "light and salt," inspired by the title of the production she is currently appearing in, 'Hikaru,' which signifies shining light. She added that the name also incorporates the surnames of the mother and father, expressing her wish for the child to grow into an indispensable presence in the world, like salt.

Indicating that childbirth is imminent, So Jeong-hwa expressed her affection for the child, saying she hopes to meet the baby safely and healthily around the time the weather gets cooler and it is time to wear warmer clothes. Fellow actors Kim Hieora, Kim So-hyang, and Lee Bom-sori left messages in the comments to offer congratulations and wishes for a safe delivery.

So Jeong-hwa, born in 1985, and Cha Yun-hae, born in 1994, overcame a nine-year age difference to marry in June 2023. The two first met while appearing together in the musical 'Fan Letter' in 2021.
