[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Juhee] Regarding the death of a 3-year-old child in Gumi, Gyeongbuk, the husband of Seok Mo (48), who was revealed to be the child's biological mother, has appeared on broadcasts daily, pleading, "I have never given birth to a child. Please believe me."

The MBC current affairs program 'True Story Exploration' aired an interview with Seok's husband, Mr. A, on the 20th.

Mr. A argued, "If my wife was pregnant, her belly would show, so it doesn't make sense that I wouldn't know. We sleep right next to each other, so how could I not know she was pregnant?"

He continued, "When you give birth, you have to be away from home for a few days, but my wife has never been away from home even once," emphasizing his point.

Mr. A also denied the DNA test results showing a 99.9999% probability that Seok Mo is the biological mother of the deceased child, saying, "I heard it's 99.9999% certain. Even if it's 0.01% or 0.00001%, there could be an error."

In an interview with SBS's 'Curious Story Y' on the 19th, Mr. A said, "I feel like dying right now," and claimed his innocence, saying, "Why else would my wife appear on TV asking to clear her wrongful accusation?"

He then showed a photo of Seok from about three years ago in 2018, saying, "This is from a month and a half before the supposed childbirth date, and she is not visibly pregnant. My wife definitely did not give birth."

Mr. A also revealed a letter sent by Seok, who is currently detained. In the letter, Seok wrote, "Being forced to say things that never happened is maddening. Heaven knows, the earth knows. I am truly innocent. I absolutely never gave birth to a child."

Meanwhile, the National Forensic Service (NFS) conducted four DNA tests considering the importance of this case and stated that the margin of error is minimal.

In a written interview with Yonhap News on the 16th, the NFS explained, "The accuracy of genetic testing can vary slightly case by case," adding, "In this case, the probability of biological parentage is over 99.9999%."
