Retired actress Shim Eun-ha has become a mother of two.

Shim gave birth to a baby girl November 28 in southern Seoul. Reports say the mother and the baby are both in good health.

Shim, who married Ji Sang-wook, Ph.D in October 2005, gave birth to her first daughter in March last year.

The news of the childbirth reportedly emerged from acquaintances of presidential candidate Lee Hoi-chang. Shim's husband is a member of Lee's campaign team.

Another member of Lee's campaign team said Ji, who was busy with the campaign schedule at the time of his second daughter's birth, was extremely disappointed to have had to leave his wife alone in the delivery room.
