A couple who met through ‘I Am Jeolro’, a popular matching program for single men and women operated by the Social Welfare Foundation of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, has become parents. According to the foundation on the 17th, a couple in their 30s who got married through ‘I am Jeolro’ had a baby the previous day. They participated as Gyeonwoo No. 5 and Jiknyeo No. 8 in ‘I am a temple’ held at Naksansa Temple in Yangyang, Gangwon-do in August 2024. The two people who became a final couple got married in October of the following year. This is the first time that a second generation was born to those who became a couple through ‘I Am Jeolro’. The foundation plans to deliver birth souvenirs to the family after they leave the postpartum care center. Netizens also posted one after another expressing their blessings upon the news of the baby's birth. Related news included messages of support such as “If parents are faithful, it’s great to meet them like that” and “It’s such good news.” There was also a post saying that they were envious of these couples and said, “Starting today, I will start reciting the Heart Sutra and the Heavenly Sutra.” ‘I Am a Temple’ is a temple stay program created with the goal of overcoming low birth rates by providing opportunities for unmarried men and women to meet.
