Why Koreans care

The baby is called 오콩 (Okong), a 태명 (taemyeong, prenatal nickname), a name Korean families may use before birth. DK explains that his family chose it after his sister and brother-in-law waited five years for the pregnancy.

In the Korean comments

Two time-stamped comments notice that DK’s father calls his son by his stage name at 8:26. One reads, in translation, “Even his father calls him DK,” while another observes that he switches between 석민 (Seokmin) and 도겸 (Dogyeom) (DK), adding that the stage name fits him so well that it feels like he was born with it.

What the words mean

군백기 (gunbaekgi) literally combines “military service” with “blank period.” In K-pop fandom, it is a playful, casual term for an artist’s military-service hiatus; here, DK’s family jokingly calls the footage a “military-hiatus vlog.”
