One close acquaintance of Jun revealed that the couple have been looking forward to this news since they have truly planned to have a child this year. According to reports, even family and friends were kept in the dark about the pregnancy until the release of Jun's latest movie. Another source explained in Jun's behalf that the actress wanted the public to focus on the movie instead of her condition, hence the secrecy.

"The movie is business and the pregnancy is personal. All the actors and staff worked very hard on the movie, and we were worried that the pregnancy news would steal the spotlight," Soompi quoted the source.

Despite her delicate condition, Jun did not fail to attend to her commitments, which include promotional events and 50 interviews with different media outlet. Her agency further stated that as long as her health would not be compromised, Jun will continue to promote the film Assassination. However, speculation about her possible break from showbiz to take care of her family is still unconfirmed.

"For the time being, Jun Ji-hyun will be focusing on her health and the baby. We sincerely thank everyone for their interest," her agency announced.

Assassination is set during the Japanese occupation of South Korea in the 1930s. Jun plays highly skilled sniper Ahn Ok-yun who was broken out of prison in China by Korean resistance activists to eliminate a Japanese army commander. Joining her in the riveting espionage action film were esteemed actors Ha Jung-woo, Lee Jung-hae, and Oh Dal-soo.
