Shocking Story: South Korean Teenager Tried To Bury Her Newborn Baby

“I wasn’t in my right mind and attempted to bury the baby.”

In a society where teenage pregnancy remains a taboo subject, MBN‘s groundbreaking series High School Parents 4 is attempting to shine a light on the often overlooked issue of child abandonment. The 33rd episode, scheduled to air at 10:20 PM on March 13, promises to deliver a raw and unsettling look into the lives of two high school mothers facing the dire consequences of their unintended pregnancies.

One of the mothers, known by the pseudonym Jisoo, shared the tragic narrative of how she tried to bury her own baby with her identity concealed.

Once a top student with dreams of attending Korea’s finest university, Jisoo’s life took an unexpected turn after rekindling a relationship with her first love from elementary school. A single intimate encounter — under the false security provided by birth control pills taken for menstrual regulation — led to an unforeseen pregnancy.

After starting to date my first love, we had relations just once. I was taking birth control pills to regulate my period, so I never thought I could get pregnant. Then one day, I experienced severe pain, and my water broke, and that’s when I realized I was pregnant.

Her story takes an extremely dark turn as she describes the shock and desperation that led her to give birth alone in the wilderness and — in a moment of panic — considered burying her newborn. Fortunately, the immediate regret and horror she felt upon hearing her baby’s cries made the teenager stop.

Hearing my baby’s cries snapped me back to reality. I hated myself for even considering such an action, and I felt so sorry for my baby.
