The country's first live-broadcast birth variety show, TV CHOSUN's 우리 아기가 또 태어났어요, reveals the record-breaking scale of a birth by a mother of quadruplets who was even advised to have a selective abortion.
The first episode preview of TV CHOSUN's 우리 아기가 또 태어났어요 (directed by Lee Seung-hoon, Kim Jun; writer Jang Joo-yeon), premiering as a regular program on the 16th, features the mother of quadruplets. There were four fetuses in the mother's womb, and their movements were unusually loud. But the mother was not entirely happy as the birth approached.
The mother of the quadruplets said, "I was advised to have a 'selective abortion,'" and, as is the case with many parents of multiple births, she said she was advised to lose some of the babies because multiple births can be difficult and risky. But the mother showed a strong will to protect all four children, saying, "There are five hearts inside me. Let's take all four, somehow…" Meanwhile, the quadruplets' father was also seen wiping tears of worry in front of the operating room, saying, "She has to go in and come out healthy, but what if something happens to my wife..."
More than 20 medical staff were busy preparing for the quadruplet delivery inside the operating room. With a record-breaking scale of birth expected, the medical team warned, "They will likely need help because breathing on their own will be difficult," forecasting that they would be busy from the moment the babies were born. As the quadruplets were born one by one, the medical staff checking the babies sensed that something was wrong.
Eventually one medical staff member asked for help, saying, "Professor, please come over here." In addition, a medical worker was seen shaking their head as if something was wrong, raising questions about what might have happened during the quadruplet delivery.
