Kim Da-young (34), former announcer and wife of Bae Seong-jae (48), revealed the pain of experiencing a missed miscarriage.

On the 4th, Kim posted a video on her YouTube channel ‘Da-young Ana Ya’ showing a scene in which she gave her husband Bae a ‘pregnancy announcement’ event.

In the video, Kim stated, “When I calculated my due date, it turned out to be December. It will be a Year of the Horse baby.” Kim and Bae, who had become acquainted as senior and junior announcers at SBS, completed their marriage registration last year after two years of dating. Recently, she revealed that she was pregnant with her first child, drawing attention.

Amid this, Kim drew attention by confessing, “Actually, this is not my first pregnancy. In fact, I had a missed miscarriage at the end of last year.”

She said, “I found out about that pregnancy early too. I knew in the fourth week and was so happy that I kept going to the hospital with my husband, looked at ultrasound photos, and immediately told both sets of parents. We threw a party and took pictures and did everything, but around the seventh week, when we should have been able to hear the baby’s heartbeat, we couldn’t hear it. They said there was a gestational sac and yolk sac, but no baby could be seen. So I had surgery (suction curettage) just before Christmas,” evoking sympathy.

She continued, “I really, really love Christmas, but in 2025 I spent a very quiet Christmas. No, it wasn’t quiet. My husband took great care of me and both sets of parents looked after me a lot, so I was able to recover and such. But anyway, I spent a Christmas that felt somewhat empty. In fact, the reason I started YouTube might have been because of that. I couldn’t drink wine, which I loved so much, and couldn’t exercise either; all I could do was walk. Hmm, it turns out things like that can happen in this world. But that was the story of the missed miscarriage. In January this year, I was in a situation where I really had to rest and do nothing. In that situation, I thought about what would allow me not to fall into a dark tunnel but to focus brightly, and that’s how I started YouTube.”

Kim then candidly shared, “I’ve heard that in many cases of missed miscarriage, the cause cannot be identified. But when a miscarriage happens, whether it’s a woman or a man, they often worry a lot, thinking ‘Could it be because of me?’ We were like that too. We kept trying to find the cause and asked the doctor. The doctor said absolutely not to do that, explaining that one-third of people who experience pregnancy have a missed miscarriage. That’s how high the probability is, and he said there are almost no mothers who have given birth to two or more children who have never experienced a missed miscarriage. Since it happened because we fell into that one-in-three probability, the chance for the next pregnancy is actually higher—two-thirds, meaning the probability of carrying a pregnancy normally has increased. He strongly urged us not to try to find the reason and not to blame ourselves. So I didn’t blame anyone and lived well.”

Additionally, Kim expressed her affectionate feelings toward Bae, saying, “But my husband must have been very upset and blamed himself. He didn’t show it to me, but he probably went through a lot alone. I wanted to compensate for that time, so I wanted to give him an event.”
