[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Joo-hee] Lee Yoon-ji's husband Jung Han-ul took on the challenge of experiencing labor pains.

On the afternoon of the 16th, SBS variety show 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny' featured Jung Han-ul undergoing a labor pain simulation.

Despite Lee Yoon-ji's opposition, Jung Han-ul voluntarily decided to experience the labor pains. Lee Yoon-ji expressed concern, saying, "I was against it. If only one person has to suffer, why should two people suffer?"

The expert revealed, "The machine measures up to 100, which corresponds to actual childbirth. Some participants ran away during the experience, and some cried," adding tension to the situation.

Another reason Jung Han-ul took on the challenge was, "Pain is scored for patients. Women always consider the maximum 10 points as childbirth pain, but since I'm a man, I don't really understand," explaining that it might help him in medical care.

The pain started at a level of 40, and Jung Han-ul showed a painful expression right from the start. Lee Yoon-ji worried, saying, "That's too high," while the expert said it was the level of early labor pain, adding, "It's not high right now. This is just the beginning," surprising everyone.

When the pain reached 70, corresponding to active labor, Jung Han-ul shouted, "Stop." He described the pain as "a numb feeling in my left leg," but eventually challenged himself up to a pain level of 80.

The expert explained to Jung Han-ul after the experience, "You can control the pain now, but mothers in labor cannot control their pain."
