Reunited After 20 Years: Jang Seo-hee and Kim Chan-woo Become 'Birth Reporters' for New Variety Show

Veteran actors Jang Seo-hee and Kim Chan-woo, who were classmates at their acting debut and are reuniting after 20 years, are set to co-host TV CHOSUN's new live birth reality variety show, 'Our Baby is Born Again' (translated title).

The program, premiering on the 16th, will feature Park Soo-hong, Kim Jong-min, Jang Seo-hee, Kim Chan-woo, Sayuri, and Son Min-soo as 'Birth Reporters.' Their mission is to actively cover and celebrate the arrival of new life from the front lines of delivery rooms.

Jang Seo-hee and Kim Chan-woo, who debuted together as MBC contract actors, expressed their joy at reuniting on screen after two decades. They shared their anticipation, stating, "We expect to feel the preciousness of a new life being born."

Jang Seo-hee decided to join the regular season after a successful guest appearance on the pilot episode, while Kim Chan-woo aims to contribute to the conversation surrounding low birth rates in Korea. They recalled memorable moments from filming, including a rushed assignment to a delivery room without time for makeup and the intense atmosphere of a prolonged labor.

Looking ahead, Jang Seo-hee hopes the show will inspire gratitude towards mothers and raise awareness about postpartum care and welfare systems. Kim Chan-woo looks forward to learning more about the medical aspects of childbirth through his reporting.

'Our Baby is Born Again' promises diverse stories, featuring mothers of quadruplets, a surfing mom in her final trimester, and families expecting their fifth child. The 'Birth Reporters' are expected to deliver heartwarming and entertaining content through their unique perspectives and experiences. The full season premieres on the 16th at 10 PM.

Jang Seo-hee debuted as an actress in 1991 and gained widespread fame for her roles in hit dramas like 'Miss Mermaid' and 'Heaven's Tree.'

She is known for her distinctive acting style and has been a beloved figure in Korean television for decades.

Recently, she has also been active in variety shows, showcasing a more relaxed and humorous side.
