Under increasing pressure, Kim Jin Kyung had to disable comments on Instagram and only allow subscribers to her YouTube channel to leave comments. Previously, Kim Jin Kyung shared a video documenting her childbirth preparations and the moments of welcoming her daughter.

Because Kim Seung Gyu was busy with the South Korean national team competing in the 2026 World Cup in North America, Kim Jin Kyung had to prepare for childbirth on her own. The goalkeeper could only encourage his wife through video calls from Mexico and met his daughter for the first time via online video. Notably, before that, when South Korea came from behind to win 2-1 against the Czech Republic in their opening match, Kim Jin Kyung's video was filled with congratulatory messages. Many called baby Dalbam a "lucky charm," and praised Kim Seung Gyu's performance with comments such as: "Her husband saved the whole team" or "Kim Seung Gyu played a huge role in this victory."
