Actress Kang Eun-bi directly shared that she suffered a miscarriage at 21 weeks of pregnancy, conveying deep sorrow.

On the 15th, through her YouTube channel and social media, Kang Eun-bi said, “On January 3, 2024, I said farewell to Sansam,” sharing the heartbreaking news. She explained, “During a detailed ultrasound at 20 weeks of pregnancy, the first abnormal signs were found. Although I was told at the time of the examination that the overall condition was normal, there was an opinion that the amniotic fluid was decreasing, and afterward an amniotic membrane abnormality was suspected, so I was urgently transferred to a higher-level hospital.”

She recalled, “Until then, all tests had been normal, I felt fetal movement well, and I had no fever or pain, so I thought it was simply due to overwork.” However, she said, “Two days after being admitted, I received a diagnosis that the amniotic fluid level was close to zero, and I was told that premature rupture of membranes was suspected. After that, I remained on strict bed rest and waited for recovery, but the condition did not improve.”

After consulting with the medical team, regarding the moment when she had to consider terminating the pregnancy, Kang Eun-bi confided, “It was the most difficult time of my life.” She admitted, “Because I was so ignorant, I had to make a decision when told that, due to my fault, the baby was enduring in pain.” In the end, she said that on the day she reached 21 weeks, she had no choice but to accept the farewell.

After induced labor, the baby passed away immediately after birth. Kang Eun-bi added to the sorrow by saying, “There was nothing I could do, and all I could do was cry,” and, “In that way, my first baby, my first son, left.” She said that the day after discharge she headed to the crematorium to carry out the funeral procedures herself, and stated, “It was such a cold day that I felt sorry to let him go alone, so I could not leave that place for a while.”

During this process, her husband Byun Jun-pil also stayed by her side. In the video, when Kang Eun-bi blamed herself, saying, “I failed to protect the baby,” Byun said, “It is not your fault. Right now, the most important thing is that you get better,” comforting his wife.

Meanwhile, last April, after 17 years of dating, Kang Eun-bi married Byun Jun-pil, a former ulzzang, and later shared the news of a natural pregnancy, receiving many congratulations.

Below is the full text of a social media post by Kang Eun-bi.

On January 3, 2025, I said farewell to Sansam.

On December 29, at 20 weeks and 2 days, I underwent a detailed ultrasound. While I was being told that everything was normal, I was told that the amniotic fluid had decreased, and during the examination, judging that the amniotic fluid seemed to be leaking, I was urgently transferred to a higher-level hospital.

During that time, all tests were normal, I felt fetal movement well, and I had neither fever nor pain, so I thought it was simply a problem caused by overworking

However, two days after admission, I was told the amniotic fluid level was zero, and with a diagnosis that premature rupture of membranes was suspected, I endured two more days with a catheter inserted, in absolute rest.

I simply prayed and waited for the amniotic fluid to return. However, the position of Sansam was unstable, and the amniotic fluid ultimately did not return. Being told that I had to consider terminating the pregnancy, I was transferred to an even higher-level hospital.

At that place, the consultation with the professor was the hardest time of my life. I was told that the baby was lying sideways, stuck tightly to the placenta and dried out, that the lungs could no longer develop, and that the baby was barely holding on in a cramped space. In that moment, everything collapsed.

Facing the words that, because I was so ignorant, due to my fault the baby was enduring pain, I had to make a decision. On the day I reached 21 weeks, I accepted that I had to let Sansam go

And with induced labor, the baby left immediately after being born. There was nothing I could do; all I could do was cry out loud. And so, on January 3, my first baby, my first son, left.

On January 4, with the decision to handle the funeral procedures myself, I headed to the crematorium after being discharged. Because it was such a cold day, I felt sorry to send him off alone, so I could only stand there blankly and weep.

Having sent Sansam off like that, I leave this video as our last memory. Five months that were both short and long; thank you for being with mom. Thanks to you, I got to be a mom, and thanks to you, my days were filled with smiles and happiness. If you come back again as my son, I will remember you, never forget you, and prepare to meet you again in better health. I love you, my baby.
