Singer and actor Mun Jung-hyuk, 43, better known as Eric of K-pop boy group Shinhwa, and actor Nah Hye-mi, 31, are expecting a baby, according to Mun’s agency TOP Media on Tuesday.

“Nah Hye-mi is pregnant,” TOP Media said in a statement. “The couple has decided not to disclose details of the birth, like when she will have the baby, at this time.”

Mun and Nah had dated for three years before tying the knot in July 2017.

Mun debuted in 1998 as a member of boy band Shinhwa. The band is known as one of the oldest and most successful K-pop groups. Over the past decade, he also actively pursued acting, starring in many popular TV series including MBC’s “Another Miss Oh” (2016) and “Phoneix 2020” (2014) and KBS’s “Discovery of Love” (2014). Members of Shinhwa are Mun, Andy, Lee Min-woo, Shin Hye-sung, Kim Dong-wan and Jun Jin.

Mun was the first to marry among the six band members.

Nah debuted as an actor in 2001 through the movie “Address Unknown.” She subsequently appeared in “High Kick” on MBC as a minor role in 2006. She has not been actively pursuing her acting career since the series.
