Hello Michelle

[Reporter : ] Hello Conn-young, and welcome back.

Thank you. So what will you tell us first[Reporter : ] Well, to start us off, I have news on one of my favorite singers. This past weekend, Adele gave birth to a healthy baby boy. I have the details for you right now.

2012 has been a great year for Adele.
She swept the Grammy Awards earlier in the year with awards in six categories, sings the theme song for the upcoming James Bond movie "Skyfall" and now, she's a mother.
The Grammy Award-winning singer gave birth to her first child, a baby boy, over the weekend, after having announced the pregnancy in June.
She and boyfriend Simon Konecki, who have been dating since January, have yet to make a statement on the birth, but celebrity admirers have already jumped in to offer their congratulations.

After dealing with all the hardships and the many rumors, I'm glad their story will have a happy ending.

[Reporter : ] I hope the same thing as well. Now, just imagine if Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel were to become parents. I can only imagine how beautiful the baby would look.

That would certainly be one good looking baby. Well, I hope we'll have more good news on both celebrity couples. And now to wrap things up, you have the events bulletin for us[Reporter : ] Yes, I do. Today I have the details on Brian McKnight's visit to Korea at the end of November, the first concert in Korea by R&B singer Maxwell in December, and a concert tour by Korean singer and producer J.Y. Park that will take place throughout December. Here are the details.

[Reporter : ed: jenny] This bulletin features 3 events.

R&B musician Brian McKnight has melted the hearts of fans around the world with hit songs like "Back at One", "One Last Cry", "Anytime" and more. He will be bringing his soulful music style to Korea on November 30th at Ax-Korea in southern Seoul.

Maxwell, another soul singer, will be in Korea on December 8th at the Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium. The singer's style is often described as "neo soul", which emerged from soul and contemporary R&B music in the late 1990s. This is his first visit to Korea.

Singer and producer J.Y. Park, CEO of JYP Entertainment, will be touring Korea in December. The tour starts in Daejeon on the 15th and continues to Busan, Daegu, and Incheon before his final concerts in Seoul at the Olympic Park Handball Stadium from December 28th to 31st.
