Actress Kim Ha-neul is expecting her first child, her agency SM C&C said Tuesday.

“Kim Ha-neul recently discovered that she is pregnant. As she is at the early stage of her pregnancy, she is being prudent in her conduct,” the agency said.

In March 2016, Kim tied the knot with an entrepreneur one year younger than her.

Due to her pregnancy, the actress notified the organizers of the Busan International Film Festival that she would not be able to host the opening ceremony of the event, which is set to take place at Busan Cinema Center on Oct. 12.

Yoona of Girls’ Generation will take Kim’s place to host the event alongside actor Jang Dong-gun.
