Travel Vlogger KwakTube Announces Surprise Pregnancy News, Moves Up Wedding Date by 5 Months

Popular travel YouTuber KwakTube (real name Kwak Jun-bin) has revealed unexpected news of an upcoming child, coupled with a significantly advanced wedding date.

On the 8th, KwakTube shared via his YouTube channel that his fiancée is pregnant, prompting a shift in his wedding plans from May of next year to October of this year.

He introduced his fiancée as someone “much younger than me, but a friend who has always boosted my self-esteem and confidence,” and directly announced the pregnancy by saying, “A bigger blessing came, and I became a father.”

“We decided to bring the wedding forward to October,” he stated, adding that “Both families have already had a formal meeting in Busan.” KwakTube pledged, “As someone’s husband and father, I will become more mature, live more diligently, and show you a happier side.”

His agency, SM C&C, also released an official statement: “Kwak Jun-bin will be getting married in October. The bride is not a celebrity, and the two have built trust and love as a couple. A precious new life has arrived like a blessing while preparing for the wedding.”

The wedding ceremony will be held privately, attended by close family and friends.

KwakTube gained significant popularity after appearing on MBC's 'Born in the World' in 2022, showcasing his unique perspective on less-traveled destinations like Russia and Central Asia. He has since carved out a unique niche with his engaging travelogues. His participation in ENA's 'World Travel on a Whim' series has been lauded for pushing the boundaries of travel entertainment.
