Some of the reality programs most loved by fans of K-Pop groups involve the idols taking care of children for some amount of time including the program Hello Baby. During the show, idols would be assigned a child or children to take care of as they navigated their careers.
Many fans have often wondered what has happened to the adorable kids that were featured on the program and if they are still in the entertainment industry. Here are all the available updates on all the children that starred in Hello Baby!
1. Girls’ Generation (Season One)
Girls’ Generation was the first idol group to appear on Hello Baby. They became the “mothers” of a nine-month-old named Cho Kyungsan. The episodes consisted of them completing challenges to become the best mother.
Recently, Girls’ Generation were able to see Kyungsan all grown up! In an episode of Soshi Tamtam, the group was given the mission to figure out which boy out of three guests was Kyungsan. They were very excited to see him again after all these years!
Kyungsan, now in his second year of middle school, stated that he has just been living life as a regular person and was not pursuing any sort of career in entertainment at the moment. All-in-all, their reunion was adorable!
2. SHINee (Season Two)

The group quickly fell in love with the adorable and charming siblings despite the ups and downs of parenthood.
Since the show, Moon Mason has continued his career in entertainment, including appearances in movies and dramas including the K-Drama Making Family and the movies Riot Girls and Polar in 2019. Fans were amazed at how much he had grown when he met up with another child actor, Park Min Ha, in 2020.
Moon Maden was a contestant on SBS’s Loud, a survival reality program where JYP Entertainment and P Nation formed two separate groups. Maden was one of the youngest members of the show at age 13.
