According to reports on April 10, Park Yuhwan welcomed a daughter named Lia in 2024 with his current partner. On April 9, he shared several photos on social media along with the message, “Thanks to you all, it has been a happy 7 years.” The images showed him spending affectionate moments with a young girl, lifting her onto his shoulders and playing together at home, clearly demonstrating a close father-daughter bond. He further confirmed her identity by writing, “Lia pokes my belly button when I sleep,” revealing the child in the photos is his daughter.

The revelation came as a surprise since Park Yuhwan had never officially announced his marriage or family life. However, it was later noted that he had not entirely hidden the truth. In March, during a live broadcast, he briefly stated in English, “She is my daughter,” hinting at the relationship prior to this public reveal. Adding to the attention, his brother Park Yoochun commented, “I love you, Lia,” showing support and affection.

Park Yuhwan, born in 1991, debuted in 2011 and appeared in several dramas, building his acting career before transitioning into content creation and communicating with fans online. However, his past controversies have also resurfaced alongside this news. In 2016, he was involved in a lawsuit filed by a former partner over the termination of a common-law relationship. The ex-partner claimed he had unilaterally ended the relationship, and after legal proceedings, the case was eventually settled.

In addition, he faced legal issues in 2022 after being referred to prosecution without detention for marijuana use in Bangkok in 2020. While these past incidents had impacted his public image, the recent reveal of his daughter has shifted attention toward his personal life and role as a father.

With the phrase “happy 7 years,” many are speculating that Park Yuhwan has maintained a long-term relationship and family life away from the spotlight. His candid glimpse into fatherhood has sparked mixed reactions, as fans process both the surprise announcement and his complicated past.
