Comedian Kim Ji-min has revealed that her proposal, marriage, and even childbirth will be broadcasted.
On the 23rd, the YouTube channel 'Jjanhyung Shin Dong-yup' featured comedians Kim Jun-ho, Kim Ji-min, and actress Jung Yi-rang, who shared candid conversations.
During the show, Kim Ji-min shared her current experience with IVF treatment. She said, "I can't drink alcohol while undergoing IVF, so I needed an outlet. If I don't, I might get depressed or irritable, so I started cooking and got completely hooked." She added, "I keep thinking about what to cook for my husband the next day."
Kim Ji-min's passion for cooking has also affected her husband Kim Jun-ho's physique. Kim Jun-ho joked about his protruding belly, and Shin Dong-yup humorously commented, "I hope all of that is sperm since you're preparing for a baby," causing laughter on set.
The reality of the IVF process was also discussed. Kim Jun-ho mentioned, "This process is really tough on women. They have to get injections for 10 days straight." Kim Ji-min added, "I get injections twice in the morning and once in the afternoon. Usually, the husband gives them, but I got bruises only where my husband injected."
She continued, "The injection should be at a 90-degree angle to avoid pain, but from my husband's perspective, 90 degrees was 45 degrees for me. So, I started doing it myself." Kim Jun-ho admitted, "I couldn't even do that properly. I was trembling," which brought laughter.
The couple's marriage backstory was also revisited. In response to suspicions that their proposal and marriage were for broadcast, Kim Jun-ho clarified, "There are many misunderstandings that the proposal and marriage were for the show, but that's not true. It was genuine."
Jung Yi-rang shared, "My husband asked Kim Jun-ho if it was okay to do everything on broadcast, and he jokingly replied, 'Why would I marry her if not for that?'"
Kim Ji-min expressed, "The proposal was broadcasted, and so was the wedding. I wondered if even childbirth would be, and next week, we're filming 'My Little Old Boy.'" Kim Jun-ho, with an awkward smile, advised, "Just think of it as 'The Truman Show,'" bringing more laughter.
