Actress Nam Bo-ra recently drew laughter and attention after sharing a playful story about her pregnancy—one that unexpectedly involved V.
Nam appeared as a special MC on the KBS2 parenting show The Return of Superman, where she warmly introduced herself to viewers, saying she would soon become a mother this June. At the time of filming, she was eight months pregnant and happily shared ultrasound images of her baby, affectionately nicknamed “Kongal,” creating a heartfelt atmosphere in the studio.

During the episode, fellow cast member Kim Jong-min commented on the baby’s features, noting that the child already seemed to have well-defined facial characteristics, possibly resembling Nam. That’s when the actress surprised everyone with a humorous confession that quickly became the highlight of the segment.
“With a smile,” she revealed, “After I got pregnant, I looked at a lot of photos of BTS’ V. I kept thinking, ‘Just copy and paste his face.’” Her unexpected remark immediately sparked laughter among the cast and crew. Kim Jong-min jokingly followed up by asking if it was “okay” that she had seen him instead toward the end, prompting even more laughter as Nam hesitated and playfully avoided answering.
Beyond the humor, Nam’s comment also reflects a well-known cultural belief in Korea related to prenatal influence. Some expectant mothers practice a form of “prenatal education,” where they intentionally expose themselves to things they consider beautiful, admirable, or positive—ranging from music and books to images of people they find inspiring. The idea, while not scientifically proven, is that these influences might positively affect the baby’s development or appearance.
Nam Bo-ra’s candid moment resonated with viewers not only because of the unexpected mention of V, but also because it showcased her relatable and lighthearted approach to pregnancy. Rather than presenting a polished or overly serious image, she embraced humor and shared a personal anecdote that many found both charming and endearing.

The actress, who first gained public attention through the MBC program Sunday Night in 2005, has long been known for her warm personality. As the eldest of 13 siblings, she often speaks about family with deep affection, making her transition into motherhood especially meaningful to fans.
Nam married a businessman of the same age in May last year and announced her pregnancy in December. She is currently expecting a baby boy, with her due date set for June. As she prepares to welcome her first child, moments like this—filled with humor, honesty, and cultural nuance—continue to endear her to the public.

While her “copy and paste V’s face” comment was clearly made in jest, it became a memorable highlight of the show, blending celebrity admiration with a uniquely personal story.
