Chaelina’s 4th IVF attempt failed, shedding tears and halting the filming of ‘Lovers of Joseon.’ Despite her husband Park Yong-geun’s comfort, she cried due to the shocking 0% result, evoking sympathy. Viewers also cried along.
The ’90s music diva Chaelina and her ‘former baseball player’ husband Park Yong-geun shed tears once again in the face of hardship. After 3 years, attempts for IVF resumed, turning into a fourth failure, causing the temporary stop of TV Chosun’s ‘Lovers of Joseon’ recording. Chaelina eventually let out her repressed tears, touching the viewers’ hearts.
Desperate Attempt After 3 Years, Clinging to Frozen Hope…
On the broadcast of ‘Lovers of Joseon’ aired on the 21st, the story of the couple Chaelina and Park Yong-geun, who are 6 years apart, was depicted. The couple had already suffered the pain of three failed IVF attempts in 2019. Chaelina expressed her strong will to try once more, saying, “If not now, the chances will decrease further. I’ll give it one last attempt while I still feel healthy,” and revisited the hospital after 3 years.
However, reality was not easy. The specialist delivered the unfortunate news that “the ovarian function score has dropped tenfold compared to 3 years ago,” indicating difficulty in egg retrieval. Fortunately, they still had 10 frozen embryos from the past, so they decided to try their last hope through implantation. The couple’s faces were filled with both tension and anticipation.
‘0%’ Heard Over the Receiver… Chaelina Collapsed at the Cruel Result
On D-day, while waiting for the blood test results, the hospital called the couple. The employee’s voice was calm, but the content was cruel. “It would have been nice to deliver good news… but the pregnancy score came out as 0.” Silence fell in the studio, and Chaelina, who pretended to remain calm, became rigid. Their attempt after 3 years went back to ‘zero base.’
Eventually Breaking Into Tears, Sobbed Secretly Following “I’m Okay”
Trying to reassure the production team with “I’m okay,” Chaelina eventually couldn’t hold back her emotions and showed tears. Her husband Park Yong-geun warmly embraced her and comforted her saying, “It’s okay, let’s live our lives. Let’s stop now,” but Chaelina’s tears didn’t cease.
Eventually, at Park Yong-geun’s suggestion, filming was temporarily suspended. Entering a room alone, Chaelina burst into tears she had held back. The numerous syringes placed in the room hinted at the effort made so far, adding to the sadness. Chaelina expressed her remorse, saying, “There’s no pressure from others, but although it’s entirely my decision, I feel so sorry to my husband for meeting me…,” which saddened viewers.
Park Yong-geun, who later saw his wife crying hard, silently stayed by her side offering comfort, saying, “I’ll buy you something delicious,” rearranging plans, and taking care of his wife tenderly, creating a touching scene. Despite the tough times, their affectionate confession of “I love you” reaffirmed the couple’s strong love for each other.
