Boy band 2PM member Chansung is now a father, according to his agency L’July Entertainment on Tuesday.

"Chansung's wife recently gave birth to a baby girl," the agency said in a statement. The 32-year-old singer's wife is a non-celebrity. She is eight years older than him.

Chansung revealed that he was in a relationship with the woman in December last year along with the news that she was pregnant with his child. The couple had planned on holding a wedding ceremony early this year, but it has been postponed indefinitely due to Covid-19.

Chansung debuted in 2006 as an actor before debuting as a K-pop singer in 2008. He appeared in the 2006 MBC sitcom "High Kick!" The boy band 2PM has released hit songs such as "Again & Again" (2009), "10 out of 10" (2009) and "My House" (2015). While he is still part of 2PM, Chansung left the boy band's agency JYP Entertainment in March and joined L’July Entertainment to focus on his acting career.
