Travel Creator KwakTube Announces Double Family Joy Amidst Pregnancy and Wedding Preparations

KwakTube (real name Kwak Jun-bin), the travel creator who recently shared news of his upcoming marriage and pregnancy, has now announced a double celebration within his family.

On the 2nd, a video titled 'Buying Gifts for KwakTube's Second Generation' was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Chimchakman'. On this day, KwakTube participated in a live broadcast with Chimchakman and his younger sister, Lee Se-hwa (known as 'Tongdak Cheonsa').

KwakTube revealed a funny anecdote: 'I didn't know, but a clip of me saying two years ago that I would get married in two years became famous. I keep my promises. It wasn't planned, but other things didn't pan out. I mentioned getting married in 2022, and even in 2021, I said 'I'll get married in two years.' I always said I'd get married in two years. I even said 'I plan to get married in two years' when I first appeared on 'Turkeys on the Block.' I just mentioned it once a year.'

Chimchakman commented, 'It seems there's power in words. By consistently saying it.' KwakTube added, 'I wasn't just blabbing. I've always wanted to get married early and start a family quickly.'

Lee Se-hwa asked, 'How did you feel when you heard about the pregnancy?' KwakTube replied, 'Honestly, I was almost moved to tears. I wanted to have a child so badly.'

He then shared a surprising detail: 'Do you guys have a baby?' He revealed, 'Surprisingly, we conceived at the same time.' Lee Se-hwa exclaimed, 'What a double celebration!' KwakTube explained, 'And my brother's side made an effort. So it's double the joy for them. They were trying, and it happened at the same time.'

Chimchakman predicted, 'The Royal Kwak family must be in a festive mood.' KwakTube confirmed, 'That's right.' He then shared his struggles: 'I'm in deep 고민 (gomin - 고민 means worry/trouble). It's hard to name children with the surname Kwak, and now I have to name two. I haven't decided on names yet.'

Chimchakman offered help, asking, 'Shall I help?' KwakTube responded, 'I used to joke, but now I need real names. But I can't use funny names like Kwak Yu-bi, Kwak Jang-bi, or Kwak Jo-jo. Don't suggest 'Kwak Jeong Hajima' (a pun meaning 'Don't get angry').'

He elaborated, 'The genders aren't out yet, so I need names for a son and daughter. I've tried thinking of cool names myself. Like Kwak Cheol. I think my name, Kwak Jun-bin, has brought me a lot of benefits. Even at the hospital, people look twice, though that's because I'm famous now. Having a unique name like Kwak Jun-bin is good. I liked it since I was young. Everyone knows who Kwak Jun-bin is.'

He continued, 'Many people with unusual surnames opt for common first names, but I want a name that is both unique and cool. That's why I'm thinking so hard.' He added, 'People say the surname Kwak is odd, but if you combine it with trendy baby names, it sounds great. For example, for a son, Kwak Do-yun. How well does that fit? For a daughter, the one I'm watching a lot, Kwak Do-ah.' He showed his serious consideration for his child's name.

Meanwhile, KwakTube will be holding his wedding ceremony on the 11th at a hotel in Yeouido, Seoul. His fiancée is a public servant five years his junior. While they initially planned to marry in May next year, they moved the date forward after she became pregnant during wedding preparations.

Korean netizens reacted enthusiastically to the news. Many praised KwakTube for keeping his promise to marry and expressed their joy for the upcoming double blessings. Comments like 'Congratulations on the double celebration!' and 'KwakTube is truly a man of his word!' were common.
