For my second artifact, I will be summarizing a clip from a Korean talk show
The premise of this talk show is for normal people to come on and talk about their problems. The girl that came on the show was having a hard time because of her looks. She has the appearance of an elementary school student but is actually 23. She came on the show with her friend and her friend said that when they went to go take the bus together, the friend got charged as an adult and she got charged as a student. The friend also said that they went drinking for her 21st birthday and other people in the restaurant was giving her a hard time because they thought she was young.
The clip moves on to reveal that she is married and that she has a son. This is where the main part of her problems arise. She said that when she went to the hospital for her pregnancy, the other people would think that a minor got pregnant. This made her scared of going to the hospital. She also went to the hospital because her son had a high fever but the hospital said to bring the baby's guardian and took extra time to process things when she showed them her ID.
The solution that was proposed to her was that she should be more confident when she goes outside and deal with the problem face on. She was also told to go outside more and since the national television exposure would allow people to be more aware of her situation, the situation would get better.
