'Problem Child in House' Kim Sook revealed that her older sister is an obstetrician-gynecologist.
On the 16th, KBS2 variety show 'Problem Child in House season 2' (hereafter "Problem Child in House") featured obstetrics and gynecology specialists Kim Ji-yeon and Chu Seong-il, who corrected various health myths.
Hong Jin Kyung's enthusiastic response to the arrival of Kim Ji-yeon and Chu Seong-il drew attention from the start. Hong Jin Kyung said "Dr. Kim Ji-yeon is my primary care doctor. I was about to call the hospital to make an appointment anyway." She also revealed, "I didn't know Dr. Kim Ji-yeon was famous for sex education when I made the appointment, but when you get treated she gives a lot of sex education that isn't necessary."
Kim Ji-yeon and Chu Seong-il expressed pride in obstetrics and gynecology while lamenting that it has become a less popular specialty. Chu Seong-il said, "Obstetrics and gynecology is a truly wonderful department that cares from cradle to grave. It used to be a department people wanted to enter, but now it's become one people avoid, which is unfortunate," to which Kim Sook said, "My older sister is also an obstetrician-gynecologist, but if she had to choose a specialty again she said she would pick plastic surgery. Obstetrics and gynecology has many emergency patients and is physically very demanding," mentioning the hardships of the field.
Kim Ji-yeon said, "Of course plastic surgery has emergencies, too, but obstetrics and gynecology is often ultra-emergency. People throw up while eating, run out while washing their hair. Sometimes they break off in the bathroom and leave," she said. Chu Seong-il added, "Obstetrics and gynecology carries a high legal liability risk. The work itself is hard, and socially there are many risks, so people avoid it." Kim Ji-yeon also spoke about efforts to lower the barrier to obstetrics and gynecology, saying, "Too many people don't know about sex. I get a lot of DMs from teenagers who are very ignorant. There's so much false information. I create content to convey correct information."
During the quiz segment, a variety of questions related to obstetrics and gynecology were posed and attracted attention. Among the questions were "the reason American mother Hailey moved her scheduled cesarean up by three weeks," "the content of the underwear rule in Europe designed to teach children ages 3 to 7 to recognize boundaries on their bodies to guard against sexual crimes," and "the best timing for vaccination to prevent cervical cancer," and alongside these, Kim Ji-yeon and Chu Seong-il clearly explained incorrect health myths.
Regarding the myth about "children's intelligence," they dismissed the idea that it is determined simply by the mother's age or whether she had surgery, explaining, "Rather, there are studies showing that mothers 35 and older have social stability, so their children are emotionally more stable." On the question of "how to have a child of the desired sex," they said, "You can't say definitively, but if you have intercourse about five days before ovulation you may have a daughter, and intercourse on the day of ovulation increases the chance of a son," and Chu Seong-il raised interest by adding, "This is a method I've tried." Regarding the belief that "handstands help with conception," they said, "That's a Joseon-era story. Before you do a handstand, the sperm are already inside the uterus," adding, "Having intercourse every day from about five to six days before ovulation increases the chances of conception." They also dismissed claims that "painkillers for menstrual cramps create tolerance" and "oral contraceptives are harmful to the body" as hearsay, advising, "Take medication according to your situation; there's no need to be overly fearful or to misuse them."
Meanwhile, many entertaining episodes were shared. Kim Ji-yeon said, "Because I see sexually transmitted infections a lot in my work, it became scary. So if I like a blind-date guy I ask about his STD history at the first meeting. They all left. They left without answering," she said, drawing sympathy. Kim Ji-yeon also told Hong Jin Kyung, "You look like someone who would give birth really well. Slim, tall, and muscular mothers give birth more easily," and when Hong Jin Kyung responded, "I really did give birth easily," Song Eun I and Kim Sook replied, "If we had had kids, we would have had a hard time giving birth," adding a bittersweet laugh. In addition, Yang Se-chan, the only cesarean baby among the 'Oktaps', said, "My mother would always pull up her shirt and show her surgical scar whenever my brother and I misbehaved or didn't listen," he said.
As curiosity exploded and immersion continued in the rooftop talk, Joo Woo-jae said, "Among all the rooftop talks, the decibel level was the highest," expressing surprise, and Kim Sook also said, "This is the first time we've had such a heated discussion." Song Eun I agreed, saying, "Women talk about these things with other women, and men with other men, but it's rare to talk about them in a mixed-gender setting. I think there should be more occasions like this."
