The production team of 'Our Baby is Born,' the country's first birth live variety show on TV CHOSUN, noted that "Park Soo-hong and Yang Se-hyung, along with the staff, embraced each other and cried," conveying the unprecedented emotional atmosphere on set. The new entertainment program, which will premiere on Friday, May 9, at 10 p.m., focuses on the noble journey of childbirth until the birth of life, relaying the vivid moments of emotion that can only be felt on the day of childbirth. As a birth live show, it is expected to reveal various special situations of childbirth, including cesarean sections due to placenta previa and home births. Producer Lee Seung-hoon stated, "While there have been cases where the production team accompanied childbirth, the fact that the MCs visit the childbirth scene in 'Our Baby is Born' will be a 'real' differentiating factor. I want to awaken the forgotten mystery of life's birth through cheers and congratulations in the vivid childbirth scenes." Recently, the German knowledge YouTube channel Kurzgesagt, which has 24 million subscribers, released a video titled 'Korea is Finished,' predicting that South Korea will eventually lead to 'population extinction' due to low birth rates, drawing global attention.
Producer Lee Seung-hoon noted, "Despite the low birth rate situation, new lives with various stories, such as triplet births and home deliveries, are born every day. After childbirth, both MCs Park Soo-hong and Yang Se-hyung, along with the staff, embraced each other and cried, so 'Our Baby is Born' is filled with joy and emotion that cannot be felt anywhere else, so please watch it closely." In the case of 'home birth,' MC Park Soo-hong is involved in the childbirth scene happening in the middle of the living room, capturing a scene that cannot be seen anywhere else, which has also generated interest. Especially in the childbirth situation, which involves both 'mother and baby,' the production team is reported to be filming in a manner that is 180 degrees different from other shooting environments. Producer Kim Joon stated, "Every moment is nerve-wracking, and we shoot in silence. Since newborns are sensitive to light, we do not use lighting and try to shoot while bending our bodies as much as possible. We always keep masks, protective clothing, and other necessary items ready in the vehicle," sharing the extremely cautious atmosphere on set.
Moreover, since the timing of the baby's birth is unpredictable, the production team of 'Our Baby is Born' had to remain extremely tense and on standby every time. The program is expected to capture the urgency and tension of such births. Producer Kim Joon mentioned, "As soon as I heard the news of the birth, I reached out to MC Park Soo-hong starting early in the morning. Thanks to Park Soo-hong's daughter, Jaee, waking up to the phone ringing, he was able to wake up as well. Therefore, Park Soo-hong was able to rush to the childbirth scene in real-time," revealing the behind-the-scenes story of how both the staff and MCs were anxiously waiting for the birth. This raises curiosity about the mysterious childbirth stories that 'Our Baby is Born' will present.
'Our Baby is Born' will showcase the childbirth process of the first daughter of the couple Son Dam-bi and Lee Kyu-hyuk, the childbirth journey of archery queen Ki Bo-bae who gave birth to her second child after seven years, as well as various childbirth scenes, including triplet births and home births.
