Influencer Kim Ji-hye, formerly of the group Cats, shocked many by revealing a harrowing fall she experienced while pregnant with twins. Fortunately, all the fetuses are healthy, and online users are expressing their support for the miracle of preserving the lives that arrived after a long journey.
Kim Ji-hye, born in 1988, married Choi Seong-wook, a musical actor from the group Paran, in 2019. The couple appeared in the 2022 TVING variety program *'Between Divorce and Marriage'* and openly discussed their conflicts after marriage, but they later reconciled their differences through mutual understanding and have been continuing their warm daily life.
In particular, Kim Ji-hye revealed that she began treatment for infertility in 2023, receiving much encouragement. At the time, she confessed, "At four years of marriage, 38 years old. As time passes, I feel anxious and upset, and I repeatedly let go," and earlier this year she added, "I am preparing for in vitro fertilization. My wish for the new year is to meet my precious little one."
And, miraculously, just three months after announcing her twin pregnancy in May, Kim Ji-hye revealed the sudden fall she experienced through social media, referring to it as a "nightmare-like dawn." She recalled, "I was walking slowly when I tripped, lost my balance, and fell face-first onto my stomach." The bloodied knee, the immobile arm, and the fear she felt while cradling her belly were deeper than ever.
Husband Choi Seong-wook immediately called 119 and fought to get to the hospital, but due to the early morning and weekend timing, it was not easy to connect with a hospital. He expressed his frustration, saying, "I gave up on orthopedics to avoid the X-ray, and I couldn't reach the obstetrics department either."
Eventually, after dawn, Kim Ji-hye received medical attention at a nearby hospital, where she confirmed the healthy heartbeat of the babies and broke into tears. Although she felt overwhelmed and apologized, saying, "I felt like I couldn't protect them," she regained her composure thanks to the safe arrival of the babies. She shared heartfelt advice for others with similar concerns, saying, "Falls during pregnancy are more common than you think. It's easy to lose balance due to the weight of the belly, and since I can't take medication properly, being careful myself is the best approach."
Kim Ji-hye said, "I think I will have to rest at home for a while since one of my arms isn't moving. But I am grateful that all four of us are safe," and she extended warm greetings to the paramedics. The story of new life discovered at the end of the long tunnel of infertility and the couple who safeguarded that life is deeply resonating and providing hope to many.
