Broadcaster Park Soo-hong’s Wife, Kim Da-ye, Faces Criticism Over Whooping Cough Concerns

Broadcaster Park Soo-hong’s wife, Kim Da-ye, has faced criticism after expressing concerns about the risk of whooping cough transmission during newborn photography sessions.

Kim Da-ye shared her concerns on social media, stating that she was worried about the health risks posed by photographers who may not be fully vaccinated against whooping cough. She also shared images of photographers handling newborn babies, which sparked a heated debate among netizens.

Whooping cough is a respiratory disease that can cause severe complications in infants and young children. According to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, the number of whooping cough patients has increased significantly in recent weeks, with 1,651 cases reported between the 20th and 26th of last month.

Netizens have reacted to Kim Da-ye’s concerns, with some expressing sympathy and understanding, while others have criticized her for being overly cautious. Some have pointed out that the issue should have been addressed directly with the photographers rather than being made public on social media.

This criticism is particularly painful for Kim Da-ye, who has received widespread support in the past. She has been a vocal advocate for her husband, Park Soo-hong, and has fought against fake news. The couple has also received congratulations and support after the birth of their daughter through in vitro fertilization.

In response to the criticism, Kim Da-ye has asked people to refrain from criticizing her and has pinned a comment at the top of her social media post.

Kim Da-ye married Park Soo-hong in 2021, and the couple has a daughter who was born on the 14th of last month.
