Kim Da-young (34), former announcer and wife of broadcaster Bae Seong-jae (48), candidly shared her pain of experiencing a missed miscarriage, sparking a wave of support from netizens.

On the 4th, Kim posted a video on her YouTube channel ‘Da-young Anaya’ showing a scene where she gave her husband Bae Seong-jae a “pregnancy announcement” event.

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

Amid this, Kim confided, “Actually, this is not my first pregnancy. I actually had a missed miscarriage once at the end of last year,” evoking sympathy.

She recalled, “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 our families. We threw a party and took pictures, 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.”

She continued, “I really, really love Christmas, but in 2025, I spent a very quiet Christmas. No, it wasn’t exactly quiet. My husband took great care of me, and both our families looked after me a lot, so I was able to recover and such. But anyway, I spent a Christmas that felt empty inside. In fact, maybe that’s why I started my YouTube channel. I couldn’t drink the wine I loved so much, I couldn’t exercise, and all I could do was walk. Hmm, turns out things like that 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. Thinking about what I could focus on brightly without falling into a dark tunnel under such circumstances, I decided to start YouTube.”

Kim then candidly shared, “I hear that there are many cases where the cause of a missed miscarriage 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 asking the doctor to find the cause. The doctor said absolutely not to do that, and explained that one in three people who experience pregnancy has a missed miscarriage. That is how high the probability of (a missed miscarriage) 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 at two-thirds, meaning the likelihood of carrying a pregnancy normally has increased. He earnestly urged us not to try to find a reason and not to blame ourselves. So I didn’t blame anyone and lived well.”

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

Bae Seong-jae finally learned of his wife Kim Da-young’s pregnancy. In response to Kim’s question, “How do you feel?”, he said, “Actually, there isn’t much joy about this (the baby). What’s good is that the baby (Kim Da-young’s nickname) has been upgraded. It’s good that I’ve grown emotionally, like calluses forming after being pricked by thorns a few times in life. The baby actually doesn’t seem to be a big concern to me. I’m happy with your overall growth right now. It’s so great that you’ve been version-updated,” showing his devoted “wife-obsessed” side.

He continued, “That’s why they say ‘experienced worker, experienced worker.’ It was like Goryeo celadon, something you couldn’t casually put in the dishwasher, but now it feels like a bowl I can use without worry. Anyway, your value to me is exactly the same.”

Kim Da-young also reacted, saying, “I’m very happy, but calm. Honestly, at that time, I wasn’t ready and didn’t feel it was real. It was an unprepared pregnancy, a ‘Huh?’ kind of feeling. But now it’s like ‘Come on, come in.’ Am I not amazing? Aren’t you proud?”

She also spoke candidly about her feelings, saying, “This time, let’s just go right away and listen to the ‘thump-thump’ heartbeat. There is a slight anxiety of ‘it was there, but it wasn’t anymore.’ I think being calm is because I don’t want to be hurt more.”

Warm comments from netizens are pouring in on the video, including “Congratulations,” “Why am I crying? It’s really such a relief and heartwarming. Have an easy delivery!”, “You look so happy,” “Since it’s a pregnancy achieved after overcoming one pain, I think it will feel even more meaningful. I hope for a healthy and safe delivery,” “Having experienced the same pain makes me empathize much more. I wish good health to everyone,” “I hope you can welcome your new family healthily now,” “You must have gone through a lot of mental stress. I hope for a healthy and safe delivery,” and “May you stay happy just like now.”
