Former Cats Kim Ji-hye and her husband, Choi Sung-wook ― a former member of boy band PARAN ― are asking fans to keep their newborn twins in their thoughts as the babies receive care in the NICU.
“I'm okay, but both babies are in the NICU,” Kim shared on social media Thursday. “They're having trouble breathing and can't take formula yet, so they're getting nutrients through IVs. Please keep them in your prayers so they can grow stronger. Hang in there, my little ones ― Mom's right here.”
That same day, Choi posted a photo taken outside the neonatal intensive care unit, admitting, “I can’t help lingering in front of the NICU,” capturing his anxious wait.
A day earlier, he wrote, “The babies may feel a little scared and lonely, but they're leaning on each other and hanging tough. My wife should be focused on recovery, but she tears up every time she sees them, so I comfort her every day.”
Kim delivered boy-girl twins via C-section on Sept. 8 at 35 weeks.
The couple married in 2019 and, after a long fertility journey, conceived through IVF ― news that drew widespread congratulations from fans.
