Selecting her childhood photo album as the first thing to look at, Jihyo was surprised to know that her weight as a newborn baby was 3.5kg.
She asked her mother if it was normal and she said:
“It was a little on the chubbier side, but it was still normal.”
After she revealed her baby photo, Jihyo asked her mom to tell the viewers about their reaction after seeing her for the first time.

Jihyo’s mother explained:
“Since you are my first baby, I thought all babies were born cute, but I was so shocked that you came out looking weird.“
Jihyo added that her mother told her she cried when she was born because she was so ugly.
However, a plot twist happened when Jihyo became sick after she was born and her parents were prohibited from seeing her for four days!

Jihyo’s mother was surprised after seeing her baby, saying:
“And when I saw you (again), your face had changed so much. All the swelling is gone, that, and they shaved your head only here, I was so shocked so I cried again. But the nurse told me that in her more than 10 years of experience working in the hospital, you were the prettiest baby she’s ever seen.”
With her sudden change, her mom revealed she initially thought her baby was switched with someone else’s child!
“Totally. At first, I thought you weren’t my baby. It’s crazy, right?”
