A New Chapter Begins

After four years of marriage, rapper Trudy and former baseball player Lee Dae-eun are thrilled to announce they are expecting their first child. The couple shared their excitement via Instagram, connecting with fans and followers on a personal level.

Instagram Announcement Details

Trudy posted an ultrasound image on Instagram on May 9th, revealing that she is due to become a mother in November. Her caption expressed a sense of disbelief and overwhelming joy. Lee Dae-eun mirrored this sentiment in his own post, stating, A new family has come. I will grow healthy and happily.

The Meaning Behind the Name

The couple has already chosen a Taemyung, or nickname, for their unborn child: “Gold Pungyi.” Trudy humorously admitted her initial reaction to the name, I thought it was shit because I was so stupid. This candid remark offers a glimpse into the couple’s playful dynamic.

From “Unpretty Rapstar” to Motherhood

Trudy rose to fame after winning Mnet’s Unpretty Rapstar Season 2 in 2015. She married Lee Dae-eun in 2021, solidifying their relationship in the public eye. Lee Dae-eun transitioned to entertainment after his baseball career, appearing on JTBC‘s Strong Baseball. Trudy has since been affectionately nicknamed the Queen of the Queen.

“Flame Baseball” Success and Controversy

The couple recently appeared in the first episode of Flame Baseball, released on may 5th. The episode quickly garnered significant attention, amassing 2.84 million views within five days on the YouTube channel “Studio Siwon.”

However, the show has also faced controversy. JTBC, asserting intellectual property rights over Strongest Baseball, has accused Flame Baseball director Jang Si-won of copyright and trademark violations, along with allegations of business commissioning and causing disasters.

Despite the legal issues, Jang Si-won PD offered his congratulations on Trudy’s pregnancy, commenting “fireworks,” a likely reference to the show’s title.
