Shim Hyun-seop and Jang Seo-hee, who appeared as special guests on TV CHOSUN’s first domestic childbirth broadcast variety show ‘Our Baby Was Born’, were moved to tears as they experienced the emotion of childbirth.
On the 6th episode of ‘Our Baby Was Born(directed by Lee Seung-hoon and Kim Jun/written by Jang Joo-yeon)’, Shim Hyun-seop, who is enjoying a ‘55+ newlywed life’, and ‘empathy fairy’ Jang Seo-hee appeared as special guests.Newlywed Shim Hyun-seop said, “I have to work day and night in my new home, but I’m here.When my child is born, I’m going to shout ‘Night, Night’ in front of the baby,” showing his strong will to have a second child, raising the expectations of ‘fairies’ Park Soo-hong and Yang Se-hyung.
The main characters who met with the special guest that day were former baseball player and commentator Heo Do-hwan, a ‘veteran catcher’, and his wife Nam Ji-young.On the day of the birth, the mother, Nam Ji-young, said, “What if I don’t wake up?” and was nervous, and Heo Do-hwan said, “I’m nervous too.” This was because the mother had suffered multiple miscarriages.When his wife was in such a critical condition that she had to go to the emergency room in an ambulance, Heo Do-hwan expressed his regret by saying that he was not with his wife because he was away on a game or away game.
Amidst worry, the mother went into the delivery room for a cesarean section.Heo Do-hwan said, “My wife experienced cardiac arrest twice when she was young.She also has a panic disorder, so she came to a general hospital,” and explained his wife’s potentially dangerous situation.While the mother was in the operating room, obstetrician and gynecologist Kim Ji-yeon, who was in charge of consulting, explained the process of the cesarean section.Kim Ji-yeon said, “We have to make an incision in the uterus and take out the baby, but from the doctor’s perspective, taking out the baby is also one of the most difficult processes.” Park Soo-hong, who had his daughter Jae-i through a cesarean section, said, “It’s really hard for the mother to safely take out the baby.I have to be really good to my wife,” and sympathized strongly with the mother’s pain.
Then, the medical team came out of the delivery room and said, “The baby came out well, but the mother is anxious and is hyperventilating.She seems anxious because her blood pressure dropped while receiving spinal anesthesia.She’s having a panic attack.” They took Heo Do-hwan to the mother.The mother was maintaining unstable breathing to the point that she had to wear an oxygen mask, and Heo Do-hwan said, “Honey, don’t lose consciousness and open your eyes.Don’t fall behind your eyes.” After that, Heo Do-hwan went to see the baby after seeing that his wife was breathing again.He said, “Thank you for being born healthy,” and shed tears of emotion.His wife, who had recovered, also came up to the hospital room, and the baby met its mother and father for the first time.Heo Do-hwan’s son, who heard his mother’s voice, opened his eyes wide as if he knew something and looked at his mother and father, which was touching.Yang Se-hyung, who is single, also froze while holding the newborn baby and said, “I was so amazed at the thought of holding such a pure soul,” expressing his excitement.Shim Hyeon-seop, who watched this on VCR, congratulated Heo Do-hwan and his second child on their meeting, saying, “It feels like I’m seeing my future.”
Another couple who gave birth together that day were Tak T-in, an unknown actor for 17 years, and his wife Park Mi-mi.Tak T-in and Park Mi-mi were expecting their third child after three miscarriages.However, the mother was worried because she had anemia and a uterine tumor, making a cesarean section difficult.She had also experienced uterine adhesions, where the uterus and other organs become entangled, during her second pregnancy.The adhesions may have gotten worse during this pregnancy, and a hysterectomy was expected.Tak T-in continued to cry while waiting for his wife to have surgery, saying, “I’m worried that something might go wrong with you.” The mother, who was about to go into surgery, comforted her husband, saying, “It’s okay.Don’t cry,” and entered the operating room cheerfully.
The surgery took a long time because the abdominal adhesions were severe, but the baby was born healthy.The mother also shed tears of relief at the sound of the baby’s cries.Fortunately, the mother’s surgery also went well, and Tak-teun, who was crying over the birth of his third child, couldn’t hide his smile of joy when his wife was born healthy.Jang Seo-hee, the ‘empathy fairy’, said, “It’s like watching a drama,” and her eyes turned red as she was moved.The ‘new groom’ Shim Hyun-seop, who was moved by the birth, called his wife Jeong Yeong-rim and promised, “I suddenly remembered.I’ll do well,” making everyone laugh.
TV CHOSUN ‘Our Baby Was Born’ is Korea’s first childbirth broadcast variety show that delivers the joy of childbirth by visiting the birth site of a new life to cheer and congratulate them.It airs every Friday at 10 PM.
