The first childbirth reality variety show in Korea, TV CHOSUN's 'Our Baby Has Been Born' (hereafter 'Oulgi'), has successfully brought the weighty subject of the miracle of life to the center of attention. By accompanying real childbirth, 'Oulgi' has brought the 'birth stories' that are hard to share unless in mommy cafes to the forefront of interest for everyone, regardless of age or gender. Those with childbirth experiences, as well as viewers who were 'single-advocating,' were moved by the noble moments of life that 'Oulgi' conveys.

◇ It burst in just one episode! Real-time Open Talk reactions 'exploded'
The new entertainment program 'Our Baby Has Been Born' (directed by Lee Seung-hoon and Kim Jun, written by Jang Joo-yeon), which premiered on the 9th, is Korea's first childbirth variety show that shares the precious journey of childbirth as 'Sunny Duo' Park Soo-hong and Yang Se-hyung witness the birth of life and broadcast the vivid moments of emotion. The first episode of 'Oulgi' captivated viewers by conveying the struggles of the 'Archery Queen' Ki Bo-bae's natural childbirth of her second child, as well as the tense and touching atmosphere of a home birth. As a result, 'Oulgi's' Naver Open Talk exceeded 18,000 visitors after just one episode. Additionally, not only married couples with childbirth experiences but also expectant parents about to meet their baby, and unmarried men and women who have not yet experienced pregnancy and childbirth, expressed their heartfelt praises.

◇ "I was single-advocating but I want to give birth"
Viewers with childbirth experiences unanimously declared it a must-watch program for 'expecting parents.' "Watching the childbirth scenes made my husband and me emotional," "Every moment, from breathing techniques to the baby's appearance, and even my husband's expressions, felt like my own experiences," and, "It was so moving from a dad’s perspective," they shared, recalling their own experiences. Expecting parents about to give birth also noted, "My wife is about to give birth soon, and throughout the show, I felt sorry and grateful towards her," "It was more vivid than reading about it," "It felt like a documentary with a story," and, "I was more immersed since I’m about to give birth," they praised.

Unmarried men and women without pregnancy and childbirth experiences have also changed their perceptions of the miracle of life, joining the ranks of 'childbirth entertainment' viewers. Reactions like, "I had prejudices or vague fears about childbirth, but I felt I understood why one would want to have a child," "The moment of childbirth seems so blessed," and, "I was single-advocating, but after watching this, I thought I must get married and have a home birth," demonstrate that 'Oulgi' resonated with audiences across demographics.

◇ "Where can you find entertainment like this?"
'Oulgi' has recorded impressive ratings in its first episode due to explosive interest, particularly showing notably high target ratings that reflect the responses of the younger generation.

Additionally, viewers praised the 'Sunny Duo' Park Soo-hong and Yang Se-hyung, who are directly involved in the childbirth process, noting that, "The MCs don't approach lightly, and they all convey empathy and emotion with serious expressions." Recently, Park Soo-hong, who has become a dad, calmly shared his experiences while marveling at the novelty of 'Oulgi' rushing to the birth scene, saying, "Where can you find such entertainment?" Furthermore, 'Dad Wannabe' Yang Se-hyung has garnered sympathy from unmarried men and women through 'Oulgi,' expressing, "I also want to be a dad." There was also support stating, "It's labeled as entertainment, but it's not just entertainment. Why do you make us cry?" and, "I hope there are more broadcasts like this that resonate with the times of low birth rates."
