VTuber Pina Pengin has revealed why she went on a hiatus, announcing that she has become a mother. On May 10, 2025, the content creator made a "major announcement" on X about the next phase of her online career. Disclosing that she recently took a break from content creation because of work, business, and her new motherhood, the VTuber wrote:
"I wanted to take a moment to share a little more with you, especially for those who may have missed the stream or who are looking for clarity. My recent hiatus was mainly due to work and business trips, but it's also because I'm a mom to a beautiful baby! When I first started Vtubing, I really wished I could've shared that I was happily married, but I was told that revealing such things might make it harder in the VTubing industry where dreams and reality are often kept separate."

Claiming that not sharing the news of having a baby with her community "truly broke" her heart because she "never liked keeping secrets or lying" to them, Pina Pengin stated:
"I've never liked keeping secrets or lying, and over time, it truly broke my heart not being able to share this part of my life with you, especially bringing a new life to this world. Penpals have always been so important to me as well so when I felt like I couldn't be fully open, even though I wanted to, it made me sad. But now, with your love and support, I finally feel ready to share this part of myself. I'm so lucky to have such a loving and welcoming community and VTuber friends who have been so supportive of me."

"I want to celebrate milestones with you - not just as a VTuber, but as a wife and a mother. You've supported me through so much, and I believe it's time to share the full me. Balancing IRL jobs, being a mom, a wife, and VTubing is definitely challenging, but I'm committed to doing my best! My passion is to bring healing and happiness to people through my music and contents."

This is just a part of who I am that I'm excited to share."
