Singer Bae Ki-seong candidly revealed the background to him and his wife pondering a second child, and raised concern by even foreshadowing signs of health problems. At the specialist's remark that it was a "signal that brain function is declining," his wife shed tears.
Earlier, on the recently aired TV CHOSUN program "Chosun's lover," the Bae Ki-seong and Lee Eun-mee couple shared complicated feelings about planning for a child nine years after marriage. Bae Ki-seong said, "Before marriage I was determined to have a child first," but confessed, "After getting married, I loved the time we spent traveling together so much. I felt like it might be okay to live without a child." They looked into in vitro fertilization, but when he saw his wife struggling he stopped recommending it.
Meanwhile, his wife's inner feelings ran deep. She said, "If it's for the family, I'm willing to try even if it's hard," but added through tears, "I don't think I could live without my husband. I'm afraid that if I have a child, it will be just me and the child left." By contrast, Bae Ki-seong said, "My wife is 12 years younger than me. I'm worried that if I leave first she'll be lonely," revealing that their feelings for each other converged at the same point. It was a scene that conveyed how much the couple loved each other.
But about a week later on the 23rd, the mood changed abruptly in the preview shown at the end of the broadcast. Footage of the two visiting a hospital was aired. In particular, when Bae Ki-seong said, "There are times my heart feels itchy," the specialist mentioned, "It is showing signs that brain function is declining," which surprised everyone.
Eventually his wife who heard this burst into tears, and people around them even said, "For a singer to be unable to sing is almost a death sentence," adding to the tension. For Bae Ki-seong, whose livelihood is singing, health problems directly affect his means of support. At the time they were preparing for a second child, the possibility of health abnormalities was raised, and attention is focused on what exactly is happening and on the results and condition from forthcoming detailed examinations.
