Seoul St. Mary's Hospital said on the 8th that it appointed five naturally conceived quintuplets (Kim Sae-him, Kim Sae-chan, Kim Sae-gang, Kim Sae-byeol, and Kim Sae-bom) as official public relations ambassadors.
The five siblings were born in Sept. 2024 at the hospital to the couple Sah Gong Hye-ran and Kim Jun-young. The hospital appointed the quintuplets as ambassadors, judging that they symbolize the hospital's identity of respect for life.
It is a birth of naturally conceived quintuplets, which is rare not only in Korea but also worldwide. The hospital noted that this clinical case proves its advanced care capabilities in essential medical fields such as high-risk pregnancy care, multiple gestation management, and intensive care for premature infants.
Lee Ji-yeol, president of Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, said, "Quintuplets are a precious presence that evokes future hope and reminds people of the importance of family in Korea, where low birthrates and aging are deepening," and added, "We will continue to fulfill our responsibility as a medical institution trusted by the nation in maternal and child health, including treatment for high-risk mothers and newborns."
