Kim Da-young, 34, a former announcer turned broadcaster who is preparing for childbirth, revealed that she experienced a missed miscarriage last year.
On Wednesday, a video was released on the YouTube channel 'Da-young Anaya' showing Kim preparing an event to announce her pregnancy news to her husband, Bae Seong-jae, also a former announcer turned broadcaster.
In the video, Kim confessed, "Actually, this is not my first pregnancy." She recalled, "I had a missed miscarriage at the end of last year. I found out early that time as well. I knew in the fourth week and was so happy that I kept going to the hospital with my husband."
She continued, "After looking at the ultrasound photos, we immediately told both our families about the pregnancy. We had a party and took pictures, but the heartbeat should have been audible by the seventh week, yet it wasn't heard. They said there was a gestational sac and yolk sac, but no baby could be seen," explaining the situation at the time.
Kim disclosed that she underwent dilation and curettage ahead of Christmas in December last year.
She said, "I really love Christmas, but I spent a very quiet Christmas in 2025." She added, "My husband took good care of me, and both our families looked after me a lot, so I recovered, but it was an empty Christmas."
Kim said that she was able to overcome the pain of the miscarriage through her YouTube channel.
Referring to a past YouTube video, she explained, "Didn't I say that I couldn't drink my favorite wine or exercise, and all I could do was walk? That was about the (missed) miscarriage."
She continued, "January was a time when I really had to rest and do nothing. In that situation, while trying not to fall into a dark tunnel and finding something bright to focus on, I started YouTube."
She added, "YouTube helped me a lot in recovering without getting caught up in negative or sad thoughts. Thinking about what to film, as well as the actual filming and editing process, was therapeutic."
Kim said, "I heard that it's often difficult to determine the cause of a missed miscarriage. After a miscarriage, both men and women tend to wonder, 'Was it my fault?' We were no different."
She continued, "When I asked doctors to look into the cause, they strongly advised me not to. They said missed miscarriages are common, occurring in about one-third of pregnancies. They urged me not to look for a reason or blame myself."
"I didn't blame myself and was doing fine, but I think my husband was deeply affected. He must have been sad and blamed himself, but he didn't show it to me and probably struggled on his own. I wanted to make up for that time, so I decided to do something special for him," she said.
Kim added, "After experiencing a miscarriage, I regretted sharing the pregnancy news so early because I was so eager to tell people." She continued, "By the time this video is released, I will have passed the stable period of pregnancy."
Kim Da-young married Bae Seong-jae, who is 14 years her senior, in May last year. She announced her pregnancy last month and is due to give birth in December.
