[Sportschosun, Lee Woo-joo] Comedian Jung Seong-ho revealed the story behind his wife's life-threatening childbirth.
On the 23rd, the YouTube channel 'Manrijangseongyu' uploaded a short video titled 'Why the OB-GYN Burst Into Tears During a Wife's Delivery of Five Children.'
Jung, a father of five, explained why he vowed to treat his wife Kyung Malgeum well for the rest of his life. He began by saying, "Women basically go through a kind of surgery every time they give birth to one child. They say it takes away that much life."
Jung said, "If you have no choice but to give birth to a fifth child, imagine that incision being torn five times. What happens is that the skin just won't heal. We stitched it up again and again, but it still wouldn't close. After the surgery, she was breastfeeding the baby, and the next day she started bleeding. A huge amount of blood came out. The director was crying. He said he couldn't stitch it up and that she had to go to a large hospital." He added, "If it doesn't heal, it can connect in a way that leaves you with a lifelong disability. Even natural childbirth has its limits."
Jung said, "I held her and cried because I felt so sorry for her, and that was when I decided I had to treat this person well for the rest of my life."
Kim Ki-hyuk, who was listening to the story, asked, "Did you realize that when she gave birth to the fifth child?" Jung started to answer, "Of course, even before that," but then trailed off. He then laughed and said, "The way I put it makes me sound really awful. It took more than ten years to risk my life for her. Until then, I just looked like a terrible guy."
