Baek Sung-hyun suggested that the reason for the delay in announcement was because his daughter had been in a critical state. At birth she only weighed 2.5 kilograms, and had to be placed in the neonatal intensive care unit. Without stating so directly, Baek Sung-hyun appeared to imply that he and his wife were very concerned about whether she would survive infancy. Baek Sung-hyun said that they give thankful prayers that she is currently in good health.

Fans were supportive of his difficult situation in the comments. Baek Sung-hyun also briefly mentioned that he would start appearing in "Voice 4" soon, and asked fans to watch. "Voice 4" marks Baek Sung-hyun's return to acting after a four year absence. He's reprising his role as Dae-sik from the first "Voice" series in 2017. "Voice 4" will start broadcasting on tvN and OCN this coming June 18th.
