A mother and her husband who gave birth to quintuplet twins on the 20th are expected to receive more than 170 million won in support.
Earlier, on the 20th, three boys and two girls were born naturally at Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital. This is the first case in Korea of a baby born naturally.
On the 23rd, Dongducheon City in Gyeonggi Province announced that it would pay 15 million won in childbirth incentives, as established by city ordinance, to the parents of quintuplet twins, Mr. Kim Jun-young and Ms. Sa Gong Hye-ran, using the Dongducheon Love Card. 1 million won in postpartum care expenses and 2.5 million won in postpartum care expenses paid by Gyeonggi Province will also be paid.
The government will provide the couple with a first meeting voucher using the National Happiness Card. The first child will receive 2 million won, and the second child will receive 3 million won, for a total of 14 million won. In addition, a parental allowance of 1 million won per child up to 11 months, 500,000 won per child from 12 to 23 months, and a child allowance of 100,000 won per month (0 to 95 months, per child) will also be paid.
If you add up this cash support and various allowances paid monthly in the future, it will be over 170 million won. If you include benefits such as pregnancy and childbirth medical expense support, additional national scholarship support, and exemption from student loan interest, the support amount is expected to increase even more.
A Dongducheon City official said, “Dongducheon City is in good spirits,” and added, “From now on, the mayor and other related departments will listen to the difficulties of the parents of the quintuplets and do their best to support them, not only by providing financial support but also by mobilizing public resources.”
Meanwhile, President Yoon Seok-yeol congratulated the birth of the quintuplets on social media on the 20th during his official visit to the Czech Republic, and on the 22nd, he sent a congratulatory letter and gift to the couple through Yoo Hye-mi, Senior Secretary to the President for Low Birth Rate Response.
In his congratulatory letter, President Yoon said, “We are all delighted that these rare quintuplet babies were born healthy in our country,” and added, “I will work to ensure that the mother, father, and five babies can create a happy future together.”
