Singer KCM was revealed to be the father of two daughters, a personal detail that had not been publicly disclosed until now.
An official from his agency A2Z Entertainment confirmed on Wednesday, “KCM has two daughters, one born in 2012 and another in 2022.”
The agency said KCM had his first child in 2012 with his current wife, but due to financial difficulties at the time, the couple was unable to formalize their family life. As his career gradually stabilized, the couple registered their marriage in 2021 and later welcomed their second daughter. KCM currently lives in Gimpo, Gyeonggi Province, with his wife, two daughters and mother.
According to the agency, the reason KCM did not publicly share the news of his second child’s birth was out of consideration for his first daughter.
“At the time of the second birth, his first daughter was already in elementary school. She knew her father was KCM and could easily come across online articles," the official said. "The second child’s birth would naturally have been reported and celebrated publicly, but KCM couldn’t provide the same recognition when his first daughter was born. That made him hesitant to share the news.”
The agency added that KCM has worked hard over the years to provide a stable environment for his family and is now happy to have built the life he once dreamed of.
Born in 1982, KCM previously announced his marriage to a noncelebrity woman nine years his junior in 2022.
