▶ I hope my daughter doesn't look like me: Short and chubby limbs, a somewhat uncomfortable gait. Ha Seok-mi (39), who is 117cm tall, suffers from short stature. After marriage, she tried to adopt, but having her own child was also a big dream. She thoroughly examined and prepared her body. She succeeded in getting pregnant with difficulty and did not give up on a life even while spitting up blood due to her weak body. She desperately hoped that her child would not have her illness. Soon, her healthy daughter was praised wherever she went. However, the child, who had been diagnosed as normal, was clumsy at walking even long after her first birthday. In the end, her daughter, Chan-mi (16), ended up looking just like her mother. She suffers from short stature disorder with a height of 113cm. Seok-mi was deeply hurt by the words of those around her who said she had irresponsibly given birth to a daughter despite having a disability. "Chan-mi also tries to act quickly like this, but she can't keep up. When mothers of similar age to Chan-mi say things like, 'Our child has grown 10cm this year,' I say, 'That's a lot,' but I'm really upset." - Ha Seok-mi INT -
▶ I don't resent my mother: Chan-mi wondered why she wasn't growing taller since kindergarten. Watching her friends grow taller day by day, she vaguely realized that she was different from others. Her condition was worse than she thought. Chan-mi, who suffers from achondrogenesis, a rare disease in which joints do not form, had more severe symptoms. She has already undergone three major surgeries, but if her arthritis gets worse, she may not be able to walk like her mother. But the daughter does not resent her mother. She grew up brightly like her mother, and she overcomes the pain with a smile. "I always tried not to look weak, not to look small, but to be bright, to talk a lot with the kids, and to be active." - Park Chan-mi INT -
