Our Baby is Born Again delivered a deeply emotional episode featuring the miraculous recovery of an Air Force mother who fell into a coma after childbirth. After being unconscious for 14 days due to a cerebral hemorrhage, the mother awoke — and finally held her fifth child in her arms, bursting into tears in a moment that left viewers moved to the core.
Aired on October 21 via TV CHOSUN, the episode followed hosts Park Soo Hong and Kim Jong Min as they met with a real-life “Descendants of the Sun” couple — both serving in the Air Force, with the husband a Major and the wife a Staff Sergeant. Parents of four children already, the couple was preparing for the birth of their fifth.
Their love story began with a whirlwind romance that led to marriage just three months after meeting. The wife recalled the moment she first saw her husband, saying, “When I enlisted, there was someone in the office just like Captain Yoo Si Jin (Song Joong Ki).” Their bond only grew stronger, and the couple even mentioned they were considering a sixth child.
On the day of delivery, the wife was given labor-inducing medication, and her husband expressed his heartfelt concern: “I wish I could take the pain instead. I can usually handle a lot, but…” As labor pains intensified, he held her hand helplessly. Thankfully, she delivered their fifth child smoothly and naturally. The attending doctor even joked, “This delivery went so smoothly, we didn’t even need an OB-GYN.”
But joy quickly turned to fear. Just days later, the husband revealed his wife was only “breathing, but not awake.” Four days into her postpartum recovery, she complained of a severe headache, initially dismissed as a minor issue. However, her condition rapidly worsened, leading to an emergency CT scan that revealed a brain hemorrhage. Emergency surgery followed as swelling increased, with doctors forced to remove part of her skull to relieve pressure.
After surgery, she didn’t regain consciousness for 14 long days. The husband shared, “I haven’t even filed our baby’s birth registration yet. I named the baby, but I want her to be the first to hear it.”
Miraculously, the mother eventually woke up and began rehabilitation to return to her children. Ten days later, she reunited with her kids, including her newborn. Tears flowed as her son held her hand and said, “Mom, I missed you.” Her daughter encouraged her, “Mom, stay strong.” Holding her fifth baby for the first time, the mother was overcome with emotion and vowed to keep going. “Mom is doing rehab so I can walk to you on my own. Just wait a little longer. I love you,” she told her children.
In a separate story from the same episode, another couple shared their own miracle. Despite a doctor’s diagnosis of azoospermia (zero sperm count), the husband and wife were expecting their fourth child — 18 years after their last. The wife confessed she told her husband about the pregnancy at five months, and was met with complete shock: “His face looked like his world had collapsed.”
But when hosts Park Soo Hong and Kim Chan Woo saw the ultrasound, they were relieved — the baby looked exactly like the father. The couple laughed off their earlier worries, saying the timing of conception coincided with their anniversary trip. The mystery of how a man with a confirmed zero sperm count conceived a child remained unsolved.
Eventually, a paternity test confirmed with 99.999997% certainty that he was indeed the biological father. A local mayor, town officials, and the hospital director personally came to congratulate the couple, though all were stunned to learn about the husband’s condition. Their shock turned to celebration upon hearing the DNA results, and the family welcomed their miracle baby with joy and gratitude.
Our Baby is Born Again, Korea’s first reality show to broadcast real childbirth journeys, airs every Tuesday at 10 PM on TV CHOSUN, capturing the beauty, hardships, and joy of bringing new life into the world.
