[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Geon-i, Gang-i, Han-i... These are the names of triplets born on the third day of the New Year, January 3rd.

The twins, born through in vitro fertilization at Changwon Gyeongsang National University Hospital, had their birth names registered exactly as their parents had named them during pregnancy.

The parents said they chose the names Geon-i, Gang-i, and Han-i with the hope that their three children would grow up healthy before they were born. The first letters together form the word "Geonganghan," meaning "healthy," showing the cleverness behind the naming.

Although the twins were somewhat underweight, they were born healthy as their parents wished.

However, there are some who find these names particularly delightful.

"Geon-i Gang-i" is the representative character of the National Health Insurance Service, symbolizing health, well-being, and longevity. Since the meaning matches the twins' names, the Health Insurance Service expressed great pleasure and pride.

According to the Service, the twins' parents once often felt that paying monthly health insurance premiums was a burden.

But life sometimes brings "unexpected charms." After receiving infertility treatment and gaining their precious new family, they deeply appreciated the benefits of health insurance. This is the story of Geon-i, Gang-i, and Han-i’s parents.

It was the day the little ones were discharged from the incubator.

Jang Su-mok, head of the National Health Insurance Service’s Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam branch, visited the hospital personally, saying, “I hope Geon-i, Gang-i, and Han-i grow up healthy and happy, just like their names.”

He also presented heartfelt childcare supplies along with a plush doll of the Service’s “Geon-i Gang-i” character.

Since the first day of this year, the Service has expanded support for pregnancy and childbirth medical expenses. The support amount for a fetus increased from 600,000 won to 1,000,000 won, and for multiple births, from 1,000,000 won to 1,400,000 won, with more items covered.

In any case, on the third day of the New Year, when the triplets were born and discharged in good health, the bond formed by their “names” and the benefits of the insurance system combined to bring smiles and joy to the New Year.
