Kim Ji-min reveals struggle with IVF treatments amid infertility issues

On the 16th, during the SBS Plus program 'Lee Ho-sun's Cider,' comedian Kim Jun-ho and his wife, comedian Kim Ji-min, shared news regarding their current attempt at IVF treatments.

The viewership rating reached a peak of 0.7% per minute (provided by Nielsen Korea, metropolitan area, paid broadcasting). The episode featured various stories under the theme 'Failures that Shattered Daily Life.'

The top story featured a pregnant woman suffering due to her in-laws, who forced the birth of a son and discriminated against granddaughters. Lee Ho-sun and Kim Ji-min could not hide their shock as they heard how the first daughter, under pressure from the grandparents, said, "Mom, please have a younger brother for me," and how the first daughter burst into tears upon learning the second child was also a girl.

It was revealed that after an incident where the first daughter hid under an uncle's desk while visiting the in-laws, the child had to undergo psychological therapy. A doctor had diagnosed that she needed to be separated from the source of her stress.

Kim Ji-min, mentioning her attempt at IVF, expressed her frustration: "I am attending an infertility center, but there are so many people that you practically have to stand in line. There are so many people in our country who are unable to have children, and hearing these stories makes me so angry."

Chae Ri-na, who appeared as the first celebrity storyteller, also expressed anger, saying, "I worked so hard for a while because I wanted to have a child, so the fact that they don't cherish it and instead scold them makes me furious."

Lee Ho-sun pointed out the husband's attitude, stating, "This is not something to mediate; it is something to protect your wife and daughters. If someone ignores my child, they are ignoring me." She criticized the outdated mindset of the in-laws, adding, "Where is the hierarchy in life? The era where a son is important and a daughter is light is over."
