The little ones were delivered by cesarean section in a procedure that involved more than 30 hospital members.
A woman has given birth to quintuplets in South Korea after another such childbirth 34 years ago, according to the medical team that treated her at a Seoul hospital on Friday.
The 30-year-old woman gave birth late Thursday to four girls and a boy at Seoul National University Hospital, explained the doctors in charge of the process cited by the Yonhap agency.
The little ones were delivered by cesarean section in a procedure that involved more than 30 hospital members.
This is the first quintuplet birth in South Korea since 1987, the year in which the same hospital hosted the last such birth.
As is often the case with multi-birth babies, newborns are smaller and weigh less than babies at that age, although none have health problems, hospital staff said.
The parents, both 30 years old, are members of the Army and married in 2018.
The couple underwent in vitro insemination and the woman originally conceived six babies, but lost one during pregnancy. (I)
