First of all, Congratulations on your new son :) Secondly, I thought this was really amazing. Even after studying and exploring Korean related videos and information for a few years I had no idea about this. I've also never researched it before since I'm not married or anything! Anyway, I think every country should immediately follow this model for new mothers and babies. I would guess that it helps make for much more healthy and prepared new parents especially.
I wish this were a thing in more places. Like giving birth is HARD AND PAINFUL. And after you give birth, you don't stop taking care of the baby. Taking care of yourself and your health/wellbeing is very important. Good job Korea. 👏
Wow, this was soooo interesting!! I'm so glad you showed us around. Now I'm planning on having kids here even MORE! haha. I think post-natal care centers are a fantastic idea. Especially for young mothers that are nervous and can take those mommy classes! Can I ask how much it is? Do they charge by week? Thanks Hyunwoo and Mikyung for filming. ;)
***** Thanks! : ) It really depends on the area and the particular brand of the chain, but it's usually $2,000-$3,000 for two weeks and sometimes you can get discounts or upgrades if you book in advance.
Wow! This is incredible! I'm currency studying to be a doctor in South Africa and this video just blew my mind! I hope and pray that one day South Africa will also be able to provide this level of care! Thank you so very much for this video. It's is so incredibly interesting! Really appreciate you sharing.
I think this is so beautiful and every country should have it! I heard and read many stories in my country that when women go home too fast after giving birth they fall into a depression and that's so sad. My sister went home the day after she got her baby girl and she almost had no time to rest. This is awesome and I hope you and your wife and son Joon will have a wonderful time together as a family!!
This is sooo weird... last night i had dinner with a korean family who im friends with and the Mum told me about this and i was really surprised, and then today this pops up in my feed hahaha I feel like that always happens... as soon as i learn a new korean word, i see it EVERYWHERE. Anyway, congrats on your new son!!!!! You are going to be amazing parents :)
This is the first time of heard of something like this, but I think it is an amazing idea. I don't have children myself, but the thought of such a place to help you and not have to worry about cleaning, cooking and other housework while taking care of the baby is a nice way to make life easier for a mum and her new born baby.
This is interesting. I am an Arab and in many,if not all Arab countries, women would stay for about a month at their parents' house to be cared for by her family, and her mother would teach her how to care for the baby ..etc. For me, I stayed at my in-laws after my first child was born because my parents were in a different country. My mother in law and sister in laws took care of me and helped with the baby. They were really kind.
This is quite interesting! 😄 It is kind of sad because the mothers in the US don't really get that kind of rest. Most mothers are quick in and out and don't get much rest. And!!!! 😆 Hyunwoo 축하해요! To both you and your wife! ^^ May God bless you and your wife with great new wisdom, strength, and love needed to raise your beautiful bundle of joy. ^^ (not meant to say you don't already have it but that you grow and blossom beautifully from this amazing experience) ^^ Also a late 생일 축하해 to Joon! ^^
Wow! I didn't know that places like this existed in Korea! I am a nursing student in Hawaii and we don't have this here in the USA, but this would be a good addition to our hospitals to help with the transition to parenthood. Thank you for this wonderful video! :)
Thank you for sharing this! I was curious as to why you hadn't returned home yet. As a mother of four, I think that this is absolutely wonderful, especially for first time moms. Having experienced people there to help you become successful at breast feeding & not having to worry about cooking & doing the laundry (babies produce an insane amount of dirty laundry 😉) What a blessing! Joon is absolutely beautiful, I look forward to watching him grow. Congratulations!
wow it was such a beautiful experience i hope we in India could have the same facility here as in India after birth mom's tend to loose their health that is not at all good . and congratulations on having your 1st child may god bless him n you.
This was very interesting! I'd never heard of this place before. Thanks so much for sharing. I am so happy for you guys! Your baby is adorable. :) I'm sure you're both going to be wonderful parents.
thank you for such an informative video! i wasn't aware of this concept at all, thank you for sharing a private part of your (you and your wife's) lives with us. congratulations on being a bad!
Thank you so much for sharing this. How I wish we had centers like this in the US to help mothers recover from delivery. Not to mention that after you give birth you are discharged after 24 hours and if you have a c-section you are in the hospital for only 4 days. It's not enough time to recover before going home. This is so thoughtful and practical. Apart from helping the mother recover health wise, which is so important, they offer classes for mothers. This type of facility is desperately needed in the US. A few questions: Is it expensive or is it part of your health coverage? Is it the standard for Korean families to use these facilities? Can families receive further support once they've gone home from these centers?
Congratulations on the baby! I wish we would adopt something like this in the United States. Moms are sent home soooo quickly here. Usually by the next day you are home. It's crazy. I think it's great that your wife has been able to rest and recover from such a stressful ordeal on the body, and that you guys have had help taking care of the baby.
This is really interesting; I like learning about the differences between countries and medical facilities and such. I live in the US (Texas specifically) and here most mothers stay in the hospital for less than two days after delivery. I don't know of any post-natal care centers, but it actually seems like a really good idea. I would probably be much more comfortable in a care center for a couple of weeks with staff on hand so that I could rest for a while before going back home.
Congratulations! Wow what service! Where I live, Canada, I think my sisters were out of the hospital a day or two after giving birth. They would have loved that. Amazing Idea; I wish Canada would implement something like that.
Congratulations on your new baby. It's really interesting that they have centers for new mothers to go too. In America moms generally go home after a few days.
As a latin woman i was first chock with this idea. For us, our baby must stay close as possible to us(exceptions just for the dad or/ grandmothers) since they are born, and mostly we are alone to bath, change, breastfead and all. Here in Brasil theres a huge fear of baby's theft and sudden infant death. But once i start thinking i see how amazing this philosophy is. Surely having the properly rest and recovering in this inicials weeks can do all the diference in parenting experience, and seems to be really safe too. When my future newborns dont allowed me to get any sleep i will surely think i want to move Korea hahaha. You guys have a beautiful family
+Camilla Maia Thank you! Yeah this kind of facility is great because you can stay close to your baby all you want but when you need help, there are professional people with you :)

Congratulations, and I see you are in the 1st. world . Thanks for showing this video.
I've never had children myself and too late now, but damn I would fly to Korea if this is the kind of care you give mothers. Would be nice if Americans could have nice things such as this.
Oh, we don't have this in France only for people who want to stay at the private hospital but it's expensive... Generally, women gi back home 2 days after. I will give birth in South Korea ahah, such a beautiful country :) take care !
That is a really smart idea! Not only can it take stress off the mother while she recovers, but that could also really lower the risk of young, new parents hurting their baby in any way. I wish this existed in America
Thanks for sharing this awesome experience, it was very interesting!:) One question: do moms usually go there only when they deliver their first child or also at second etc.?
Congratulations on the safe arrival of your newest cuty family member ^_^ all the blessings and congratulations as new parents, may you be filled with much joy, happiness and may you both find parenthood a wonderful and rewarding experience. Wishing you all best and lots of love. Post-natal care center is a great concept that should be implemented everywhere but looking at the price not everyone will be able to afford it, so in that case it will be one of the greatest gift from family members or friends etc.. to the new parents.
Sounds so nice! In belgium we dont have something like that.. My sister could've used it after giving birth. She was sooo tired.. Congrats on Joon! He is such a cutie
It's good how they take good care of the patient and the baby. The room is so clean and well-organized. I hope it didn't cost much ^^~ Congratulations!!!
Wow must be nice lol When I had my daughter I had a c-section and they had me up walking by the end of the day and I was sent home the next day. Which meant going back to one tiny little room (hubby me and the baby plus everything we owned was stuffed into his childhood bedroom on the top floor in June and his parents are against AC) in my Mother in Laws house (who is not to fond of me). I got a total of zero me or even me and baby time (and it stayed that way for over a year TT_TT). I would have given anything for something like this back then (5 years tomorrow) However Gratz on the baby he is so cute and I hope your wife recovers completely and is healthy :)
in israel, moms can go on a vacation for a few months in order to take care of the baby, but i think having this kind of room is a very clever idea. not all moms can just go back home and take care of the baby, some of them can get really depressed and some even become very weak because of the huge mental experience. new moms definitely need some help within the first and second week after giving birth
I don't know if you have answered this or not if you have please link me to the video, but i was wondering why and how did you choose the baby's name :) Happy fatherhood! well parenthood to both you and our lovely wife.
In America you're released 1-2 days after. Sometimes even the same day. Depends on the situation. But in Mexico we have the 40 day rule. The mother must rest for those 40 days. They must not do anything physically tiring unless it's take care of the baby. Usually for the 40 days the grandmother will also help out her daughter do things around the house and make food and stuff so the mother of the newborn can rest and be good to take care of everything after the 40 days.
I love this and we do have this here in New Zealand. Mothers have the choice to either give birth at the hospital or the birthing center. I wanted to give birth at a birthing center with my second baby but I had a ceasar with my first baby and vbac had to be done at the hospital for safety reasons. Husbands arent allowed to stay at the hospital but can at birthing center. Length of stay at one of these center is upto 3 days. Alot of mothers prefer to go straight home and get settled in, some even go home couple hours after child birth
My mom went straight home to my grandparents, after giving birth to me. But this place sounds great, because so many are living a stressful life and this would be a perfect place to recover :-)
Post Natal Care Centre... Super interesting concept and it's actually quite brilliant, especially for first-time mum's. I know my mum went home like a day after my birth. I'm not sure about Korea, but in South Africa by law, the mother is not allowed to go back to work within 6 weeks after the birth. The father gets 2 weeks legal paid leave so he can be with his wife to settle in back home. So this pretty much destroys the purpose of having Post Natal Care Centres back home. But otherwise, congratulations on your newborn. May he bring you lots of joy! :) Cheers! :)
If I would have known this existed I may have stayed in Korea to have my baby. Wish I would have seen this video before making the final decision because that sounds quite wonderful.
Wow! That's pretty cool! :) wished they had something like that in the states! Here.. They jus send u home after a day or two.. Depending on ur situation on how u have birth- (vaginal or c-section).. Maybe I should start one up!! Lol.. I think it's great for 1st time parents.. The extra help right after birth is so much needed for everyone/woman! & it's great that they let the husbands stay also.. That way they (the man) can learn along w the wife... That's so great! You guys are so spoiled! LOVE IT!! Oh.. Can I ask.. How u guys go about "maternity leave" that's if u work.. How long do they let u guys be out of work? Here in the states.. Depending on your company.. 6 weeks paid (called short term disability) and if u have any vacation and or personal time off (PTO) u can also use that on top of ur maternity leave.. & 8 weeks for c-section woman. Anything be on that it's with out pay.. My sister lives in France and they have a pretty good system!! I love it.. If I'm not misunderstanding.. I think they get 1-3 years off!!!! (Depending on what # ur baby is.. If it's ur 1st or 6th baby.. Lol) Until the baby becomes a toddler!!! And guaranty ur job back.. Pay is a certain % of what u make.. I think.. That's sooooo great!!! I'm so jealous... Honestly.. I think our maternity system isn't so great!! There's still so much more in detail.. What u can use and what u can't.. If u leave too long... They can replace you.. Sad. But yeah.. How is SK maternity leave system work? THANK YOU SO MUCH & I hope to hear from you soon. :)
This is amazing !! Where I live if a mother gave birth naturally she leaves the hospital after few hours (after she gets her nap) , and if she gave birth via cesarean section she can stay for 24h in the hospital then leave Post-natal care is usually done in a family member home or the grandparents home :)
I haven't experienced it myself but here new moms do go into a postnatal room but only for two or three days. If for some reason, like mom or baby isn't healthy enough then they will stay longer as needed.
This post-natal care center is so awesome in so many ways. I think it's really important for every mom in the word and I don't know why have I never heard of such care centers befor (OMG KOREA! WHY SO PERFECT~ ㅠㅠ) . I guess that might be implemented here in my countary (Algeria) 215885895659856 years after; I'm so moving to Korea (i'm still learning korean from TTIK it's so so sooo helpfull) Thank you very much for sharing this video and I wish all the best for our dearest MiKyung-ssi and Joonniiieee~
Congratulations ! Félicitations ! That's so interesting. As someone said previously this kind of system does not exist in France. However as I come from an Algerian family living in France (Post Algerian's war immigration) we could say that we have a cultural equivalent : after giving birth the Mom stays with her own Mom for a month, resting and learning, before going back to her husband house. Je vous souhaite beaucoup de bonheur et de joie à toi et à ta femme, et un avenir radieux au petit Joon.
Wow, at first I didn't understand what you where talking about! In Sweden you give birth to your baby and if nothing is wrong you can go home the same day or the day after. In my opinion staying for 2 or 3 weeks seems like a lot, but that's probably 'cause I'm not used to the idea of these places. It is a good Idea though! Maybe we should have something like that here, I mean, it is not easy being a mother or a father!
That's amazing... this makes me a lot more comfortable about having kids. Here, you're sent home the day after with no help at all no matter what your situation. Joon is so adorable, do you think he looks like you or Mikyung-ssi? Maybe to early to tell?
Wow, this is so neat! The out-of-pocket cost for this is really reasonable in Korea. It would be exponentially higher in the US , which is why I don't believe anything of the sort even exists here. They kick us out after a day or two, and then basically, you're on your own. Too bad for you if you don't have a good support system in place. Thanks, Hyun Woo, for sharing this service with us. It was very educational. Joon is so handsome already, sure to slay Nona's left and right in the future!
Wow congratulations!! But is the care center something you must pay out of your own pocket or does your wife get some type of resource from the korean state to help you stay there? And again congratulations! :D
Looks like a great place...i've never heard of such places before and I'm from Germany. I'd like to know how much it costs to stay at such a place...!? I think it's a great way to learn how to take care of a baby since it's actually a huge responsability and there' s so much you can do wrong while taking care of a baby. It's a nice way to support young parents and give them confidence. I know of cases in which a young mum shook her Baby to death because she couldn't deal with the baby's constant crying or other horrible incidents. Those things could've been prevented if young parents could get more professional support. Because here in germany nobody dares to ask for professional help and support when it comes to raising a child. Thank you for the video and sharing your experience with it. I might be still far away of having an own child with my 19 years but since I study educational science it really captured my interest. :) I wish you and your wife all the best and a great time raising up a healthy little boy.
missuntouchable24 Thanks for the comment :) Yeah staying there, we've definitely learned A LOT of things about being parents. The cost can vary, but starts at $2,000 for two weeks.
this is a really nice thing and very considerate in terms of mums, because normally in hospitals it feels like mass processing.. although I think it's kind of expensive! I mean you just became parents and basically don't have much money now that you have to buy all the baby stuff and maybe already start to save some money and paying $2,000-$3,000 just like that is a LOT of money (or it's just me cuz I'm a student haha). I guess If they had it in germany you could probably ask your insurance company to pay for it.
Ahhhh how interesting x What a great idea, gives the mum a chance to recover and as you said, ease her way into motherhood. Here in the UK, if your labour and birth is pretty straightforward and there are no other issues you can be discharged within a few hours of your baby's arrival otherwise you can still be in hospital for a couple of days. My younger sister is currently in her 36th week of pregnancy, not long left til I can meet my little nephew :D x
My GOD this is awesome. My primary adoration of this place is the fact that ONLY the Husband is allowed. Judgmental, micro-managing relatives who need to get their OWN friggin' lives together before they dictate what others "should" do, played a big role in me NOT wanting children. Same relatives are also why I didn't want a wedding (&have NO regrets about not having had one). This would've been FABULOUS for us.
TABULOUS1 I can totally see what you mean : ) I've seen a lot of people having a hard time because there were too many people around them giving them "the best" advice on how to raise children and especially in the first couple of weeks, it can be really stressful.
This is amazing !! Where I live if a mother gave birth naturally she leaves the hospital after few hours (after she gets her nap) , and if she gave birth via cesarean section she can stay for 24h in the hospital then leave Post-natal care is usually done in a family member home or the grandparents home :)

That's so cool! Something they should implement here in the states in my opinion.
whiepanda77 I'm sure this kind of service will become more common everywhere in the future :)
@@HyunwooSun so are you living in the future bro...?!
First of all, Congratulations on your new son :) Secondly, I thought this was really amazing. Even after studying and exploring Korean related videos and information for a few years I had no idea about this. I've also never researched it before since I'm not married or anything! Anyway, I think every country should immediately follow this model for new mothers and babies. I would guess that it helps make for much more healthy and prepared new parents especially.

Wow! This is incredible! I'm currency studying to be a doctor in South Africa and this video just blew my mind! I hope and pray that one day South Africa will also be able to provide this level of care!
Thank you so very much for this video. It's is so incredibly interesting! Really appreciate you sharing.
I think this is so beautiful and every country should have it! I heard and read many stories in my country that when women go home too fast after giving birth they fall into a depression and that's so sad. My sister went home the day after she got her baby girl and she almost had no time to rest. This is awesome and I hope you and your wife and son Joon will have a wonderful time together as a family!!
This is sooo weird... last night i had dinner with a korean family who im friends with and the Mum told me about this and i was really surprised, and then today this pops up in my feed hahaha
I feel like that always happens... as soon as i learn a new korean word, i see it EVERYWHERE.
Anyway, congrats on your new son!!!!! You are going to be amazing parents :)

Congratulations Hyunwoo! I have been so out of touch! So happy for the growing of your family!
Wow must be nice lol When I had my daughter I had a c-section and they had me up walking by the end of the day and I was sent home the next day.

However Gratz on the baby he is so cute and I hope your wife recovers completely and is healthy :)
wow...this is amazing...how I wish we have this...
congratulations
your baby is so cute
I have a question
can your family visit you in this center ?
이만 H yes, they can visit : )
This is dope!! I want to go to one of these!! I'm not even pregnant...may be an issue...

Husbands arent allowed to stay at the hospital but can at birthing center. Length of stay at one of these center is upto 3 days. Alot of mothers prefer to go straight home and get settled in, some even go home couple hours after child birth
My mom went straight home to my grandparents, after giving birth to me. But this place sounds great, because so many are living a stressful life and this would be a perfect place to recover :-)
Post Natal Care Centre... Super interesting concept and it's actually quite brilliant, especially for first-time mum's. I know my mum went home like a day after my birth.
I'm not sure about Korea, but in South Africa by law, the mother is not allowed to go back to work within 6 weeks after the birth. The father gets 2 weeks legal paid leave so he can be with his wife to settle in back home. So this pretty much destroys the purpose of having Post Natal Care Centres back home.
But otherwise, congratulations on your newborn. May he bring you lots of joy! :)
Cheers! :)
we all must have 4 weeks paid leave and 8 weeks unpaid leave for woman and 2weeks for man. they are compulsory.
first of all congratulation to Hyunwoo and his wife for the new baby.
this is such a great idea :)
If I would have known this existed I may have stayed in Korea to have my baby. Wish I would have seen this video before making the final decision because that sounds quite wonderful.
Wow! That's pretty cool! :) wished they had something like that in the states! Here.. They jus send u home after a day or two.. Depending on ur situation on how u have birth- (vaginal or c-section).. Maybe I should start one up!! Lol.. I think it's great for 1st time parents.. The extra help right after birth is so much needed for everyone/woman! & it's great that they let the husbands stay also.. That way they (the man) can learn along w the wife... That's so great! You guys are so spoiled! LOVE IT!! Oh.. Can I ask.. How u guys go about "maternity leave" that's if u work.. How long do they let u guys be out of work? Here in the states.. Depending on your company.. 6 weeks paid (called short term disability) and if u have any vacation and or personal time off (PTO) u can also use that on top of ur maternity leave.. & 8 weeks for c-section woman. Anything be on that it's with out pay.. My sister lives in France and they have a pretty good system!! I love it.. If I'm not misunderstanding.. I think they get 1-3 years off!!!! (Depending on what # ur baby is.. If it's ur 1st or 6th baby.. Lol) Until the baby becomes a toddler!!! And guaranty ur job back.. Pay is a certain % of what u make.. I think.. That's sooooo great!!! I'm so jealous... Honestly.. I think our maternity system isn't so great!! There's still so much more in detail.. What u can use and what u can't.. If u leave too long... They can replace you.. Sad. But yeah.. How is SK maternity leave system work? THANK YOU SO MUCH & I hope to hear from you soon. :)
This is amazing !!
Where I live if a mother gave birth naturally she leaves the hospital after few hours (after she gets her nap) , and if she gave birth via cesarean section she can stay for 24h in the hospital then leave
Post-natal care is usually done in a family member home or the grandparents home :)
I haven't experienced it myself but here new moms do go into a postnatal room but only for two or three days. If for some reason, like mom or baby isn't healthy enough then they will stay longer as needed.
I know I'm late but still, 축하해요! (^-^)
We got home only 2 days after John was born
OMG! They need this in Jamaica
This post-natal care center is so awesome in so many ways. I think it's really important for every mom in the word and I don't know why have I never heard of such care centers befor (OMG KOREA! WHY SO PERFECT~ ㅠㅠ) .
I guess that might be implemented here in my countary (Algeria) 215885895659856 years after; I'm so moving to Korea (i'm still learning korean from TTIK it's so so sooo helpfull) Thank you very much for sharing this video and I wish all the best for our dearest MiKyung-ssi and Joonniiieee~
Congratulations ! Félicitations ! That's so interesting. As someone said previously this kind of system does not exist in France. However as I come from an Algerian family living in France (Post Algerian's war immigration) we could say that we have a cultural equivalent : after giving birth the Mom stays with her own Mom for a month, resting and learning, before going back to her husband house. Je vous souhaite beaucoup de bonheur et de joie à toi et à ta femme, et un avenir radieux au petit Joon.
Wow, at first I didn't understand what you where talking about! In Sweden you give birth to your baby and if nothing is wrong you can go home the same day or the day after. In my opinion staying for 2 or 3 weeks seems like a lot, but that's probably 'cause I'm not used to the idea of these places. It is a good Idea though! Maybe we should have something like that here, I mean, it is not easy being a mother or a father!
That's amazing... this makes me a lot more comfortable about having kids. Here, you're sent home the day after with no help at all no matter what your situation.
Joon is so adorable, do you think he looks like you or Mikyung-ssi? Maybe to early to tell?
Texas, USA.
It depends, some stay longer. I know several people who went home the day after.
This is incredibly nice and convenient.
I wish we have like this in our country :0
Wow, this is so neat! The out-of-pocket cost for this is really reasonable in Korea. It would be exponentially higher in the US , which is why I don't believe anything of the sort even exists here. They kick us out after a day or two, and then basically, you're on your own. Too bad for you if you don't have a good support system in place. Thanks, Hyun Woo, for sharing this service with us. It was very educational. Joon is so handsome already, sure to slay Nona's left and right in the future!
Wow congratulations!! But is the care center something you must pay out of your own pocket or does your wife get some type of resource from the korean state to help you stay there? And again congratulations! :D
lovegames007 Thanks! And for this type of service, there is no financial support from the government so you just have to pay out of your own pocket.
Hyunwoo Sun Is it expensive?
Congratulations for the 10000th time hhhhh I'm really happy for you :) big kisses for the baby from Algeria
Me0SuJu0kLife Thank you ^__^
Congratulations...ur baby looks cute..:)
Wow that is great! Congrats!!!
Looks like a great place...i've never heard of such places before and I'm from Germany.
I'd like to know how much it costs to stay at such a place...!?
I think it's a great way to learn how to take care of a baby since it's actually a huge responsability and there' s so much you can do wrong while taking care of a baby. It's a nice way to support young parents and give them confidence.
I know of cases in which a young mum shook her Baby to death because she couldn't deal with the baby's constant crying or other horrible incidents.
Those things could've been prevented if young parents could get more professional support. Because here in germany nobody dares to ask for professional help and support when it comes to raising a child.
Thank you for the video and sharing your experience with it. I might be still far away of having an own child with my 19 years but since I study educational science it really captured my interest. :)
I wish you and your wife all the best and a great time raising up a healthy little boy.
missuntouchable24 Thanks for the comment :) Yeah staying there, we've definitely learned A LOT of things about being parents. The cost can vary, but starts at $2,000 for two weeks.
Congratulations!!!!
축하해요!!
Congratulations guys! ^_^
Congratulations!!! :)
Are these facilities covered by most government insurance?
축하합니다!! :)
So this is a separate building from the hospital?
this is a really nice thing and very considerate in terms of mums, because normally in hospitals it feels like mass processing.. although I think it's kind of expensive! I mean you just became parents and basically don't have much money now that you have to buy all the baby stuff and maybe already start to save some money and paying $2,000-$3,000 just like that is a LOT of money (or it's just me cuz I'm a student haha). I guess If they had it in germany you could probably ask your insurance company to pay for it.
Ahhhh how interesting x What a great idea, gives the mum a chance to recover and as you said, ease her way into motherhood.
Here in the UK, if your labour and birth is pretty straightforward and there are no other issues you can be discharged within a few hours of your baby's arrival otherwise you can still be in hospital for a couple of days.
My younger sister is currently in her 36th week of pregnancy, not long left til I can meet my little nephew :D x
Sara B Oh congrats on becoming an 이모! : ) Yeah staying there definitely helped both my wife and me a lot!
Thank you :D
Hope you, your wife and your little boy are doing well.
Best wishes xxx
How much did u pay for the natural delivery?
Hyunwoo, can you roughly tell us the cost for this service?
Erica Huea I think the average is around $2,000-$3,000 for two weeks, but of course, there are more expensive places too :)
Wow! This is interesting. Is this similar to the "confinement" that the Chinese people practice?
Can you put the name or location for this place in the description?
minh Sure I will do that : ) We stayed at a place called "궁 산후조리원"
Hyunwoo Sun Thank you!
Is it his wife filming?
D3r3k3r3D Yes : )
hahahha..nice!! your wife also watch game of thrones! high five to that! =D
We need something like that in America! Women get kicked out of the hospital right after birth, and it's SO STRESSFUL.
My GOD this is awesome. My primary adoration of this place is the fact that ONLY the Husband is allowed. Judgmental, micro-managing relatives who need to get their OWN friggin' lives together before they dictate what others "should" do, played a big role in me NOT wanting children. Same relatives are also why I didn't want a wedding (&have NO regrets about not having had one).
This would've been FABULOUS for us.
TABULOUS1 I can totally see what you mean : ) I've seen a lot of people having a hard time because there were too many people around them giving them "the best" advice on how to raise children and especially in the first couple of weeks, it can be really stressful.
Soooooooooo civilised!! =)
here deciding which country i wanna give birth at lol
Do all Korean women give birth in a hospital?
Almost all of them, unless there is an emergency.
Congratulations from occupied Jerusalem, Palestine♡

Ibraheem Qaisi Thank you so much!
Greeting from the occupied Nablus, Palestine. May Allah protect him :) your baby is way too cute XD
Can women have a home birth in Korea? Awesome video.
기발하네요!
Haha, you guys watch Game of Thrones! XD
Zeke Fraire Not me, but only my wife :D
This is amazing !!
