Actor Choi Seong Kook has embraced the joy of fatherhood at the age of 53.
On the December 25th episode of 'Lovers of Joseon,' the day Choi Seong Kook's first child came to the world was broadcast. During the episode, Choi Seong Kook's wife who is 24 years younger than him was seen struggling with childbirth, so the couple decided to get a c-section instead.
As his wife went into the surgery room, Choi Seong Kook shed tears saying, "I was looking into her eyes and she seemed scared. But there's nothing I can do. I didn't know I was this weak." Fortunately, her c-section was successful and the couple welcomed their first son to the family.
Meanwhile, Choi Seong Kook is a South Korean actor who appeared in various films such as 'Love is Beautiful,' 'Oh! My God,' 'Love Match,' and television series such as 'Dae Bak Family,' 'Playful Kiss,' and more. The couple officially tied the knot in November 2022.
It's not weak to be terrified for your wife when she's in a lot of pain and having problems giving birth. Because it's been a medicalised process in developed countries for so many years, I think we've lost sight of what a hugely traumatic event for a woman's body it can be, and sometimes, tragically, women do still die in childbirth.

I wish him and his wife all the best with their new baby, and hope she has a swift recovery.
