Lee Yong-sik was moved to tears as he attended the birth of his daughter Lee Su-min.

On the TV Chosun entertainment show ‘Joseon’s Lovers ‘broadcast on the 16th, Lee Yong-sik’s transformation from a doting father to a doting granddaughter was depicted.After 10 hours of labor with her husband Won-hyeok, his daughter Lee Soo-min held her first daughter ‘Won-ee-el’ in her arms.

On the day of her birth, Lee Su-min suffered severe pain after being hospitalized because her cervix did not open properly.Her husband, Won-hyeok, who was watching her, shouted, “Come down, Palbok-ah!” , causing tension and laughter at the same time, and eventually, he reddened his eyes once again when he saw his wife fasting for 16 hours.

Lee Soo-min’s father, Lee Yong-sik, who was by her side, also held his daughter’s hand tightly and quietly shed tears.In the studio, Lee Yong-sik said, “Children have parties on their birthdays, but mothers experience the most terrifying pain in the world on that day.A birthday is a mother’s pain,” and was unable to continue speaking.

On this day’s broadcast, the name of the granddaughter ‘Won-ee-el’ was also revealed for the first time.The child, who was called by the nickname ‘Palbok-i’, was given the affectionate name ‘Won-ee-el’, which was created by combining the last names of her parents after discussion and voting by the entire family.

The sight of the couple unable to hide their joy as they held their healthy, newborn baby, Eilee, in the operating room, and Lee Yong-sik’s deep fatherly love moved viewers deeply.

The ultra-realistic documentary entertainment show ‘Joseon’s Lovers’ airs every Monday at 10 PM on TV Chosun.
