As the pilot broadcast has already received favorable reviews from many viewers, this season will feature more colorful birth scenes and family stories.
At the opening ceremony held in Gasan-dong, Geumcheon-gu, Seoul on the 19th, new members Kim Jong-min, Son Min-soo, and Sayuri, as well as Park Soo-hong, the head of the 「Birth Expedition」, attended.
"At the time of the pilot, we focused on the moment of birth and celebration, but over the course of the season, we realized that it is important to capture the history and story of parenthood and the story of each family," said Lee Seung-hoon, CP in charge of production. "This regular season, we plan to tell not only the moment of life of childbirth but also the stories of the families behind it. "
Park Soo-hong, who has been guarding the birth site several times, will participate as the general manager again this season.
Park Soo-hong said, `I participated in the pilot for the first time with an emotional heart, but I'm grateful that it's become a regular season.' `I was in charge of childcare because Jay's mom was busy, but I often went home late and came out at dawn because of the program. Still, I'm doing my best to share the emotion and blessings of the moment I met Jay with many people," he said. It was also the first time I experienced being nervous waiting for a real birth in a five-minute waiting group. As we don't know when the baby will be born, we want to convey the raw emotion," he stressed.
Kim Jong-min, who joined the new bridegroom this time, said his interest in childbirth and childcare has grown through marriage. He "I've only heard the mothers' stories so far, but it was hard to sympathize. But after getting married, it changed when I talked with my wife about my child"When I came in, I thought I wanted to learn it myself. My wife was happy to send me the information, too", he expressed his feelings. There was also a child plan, but through this program, we learned more about the mother's pain. So I thought about what I thought lightly again, and I stopped drinking to prepare for a healthy birth."
Son Min-soo, who will become a twin father in November, confessed his preparation as a prospective father. He watched Season 1 and thought it was like a movie, and he wanted to appear even after paying for it"I have a lot of sympathy because the wife is about to give birth. I got a babysitter certificate and I'm also taking a postpartum carer course. I recently went to Park Soo-hong's house, and I was stimulated to see him prepare steamed eggs for babies, so I tried to prepare a certificate for a Korean chef. "
Following a special appearance in the season pilot, Sayuri will join as an official member this time. He wanted to be on this program. Since I gave birth alone, my feelings and memories from that time are still vivid. "The stories of mom and dad are all different, but the moment of childbirth is overwhelming and special in common. I'm grateful to be able to share that kind of story with you." He also added that it is not easy to carry out schedules alone while raising children, but through the program, they feel vicarious satisfaction by sharing the moment of childbirth of other families.
Regarding the background of recruiting new members, CP Lee Seung-hoon said, "There are people with different stories, including general manager Park Soo-hong, new bride Kim Jong-min, soon-to-be-father Son Min-soo, and Sayuri, who experienced childbirth abroad." In particular, Sayuri can deliver her own message as a voluntary non-married mother. Their eyes will make the program more colorful."
The program poses a socially meaningful topic as well. Park Soo-hong witnessed the practical difficulties and institutional limitations of mothers while filming " I think the government should support such things as multi-fetal insurance"Birth is not an individual's choice, but directly related to the future of the country." Practical welfare and institutional improvement are needed in an era of low fertility rates." He added that `I hope it will serve as an opportunity for actual laws and institutions to improve like programs like 'Exceptions'.'
In the regular season, more diverse birth sites will be introduced than in the pilot. CP Lee Seung-hoon once said, "The quadruplet father-to-be, who watched the triplet episode on the pilot program, contacted Park Soo-hong directly."We have more applications coming in after the broadcast, so we will be able to tell various family stories in the future."
Finally, Sayuri told his fellow expedition members that "The moment of childbirth cannot be together unless it is sincere." Everyone is sincere, so they will make warm memories." Park Soo-hong also emphasized the meaning of the program, saying, `Like Sayuri, various birth experiences will resonate greatly with viewers.'
Meanwhile 'My baby was born' Season 2 will premiere in mid-September.
