Annie: "I'm going to visit a family wth 2 sets of vigintuplets from South and North Korea, with one from South Korea with fatal, incurable spina bifida, let's take a look shall we?"

???: "I'm Kwan."

???: "I'm Hye-Su."

Kwan: "We have 40 children, 20 from South Korea and 20 from North Korea."

Hye-Su: "The South Korean Vigintuplets are Ji-min, Kwang-Sun, Kim-Sang, Dae-Jung, Bong-Cha, Mung-Hee, Ae-Cha, Chung-Hee, Ae-Sook, Duck-Young, Eun-Hee, Chin-Ho, Hei-Ryung, Hyun-Su, Hyun-Jae, Kang-Dae, Jin-Kyong, Kwang-Ho, Mi-Yung and Chin-Hae, who are all 4, the girls Ji-min, Kim-Sang, Bong-Cha, Ae-Cha, Ae-Sook, Eun-Hee, Hei-Ryung, Hyun-Jae, Jin-Kyong, and Mi-Yung are all well-behaved, but the boys are far from it, they all swear, fight, and terroize the youngest vigintupet Ji-min, who has a terminal, fatal spina bifida."

Kwan: "From North Korea, we have Kyu-Bong, Mi-Hi, Nam-Kyu, Myung-Hee, Myung-Dae, Sang-Hee, Min-Ki, Min-Jee, Sang-Ki, Min-Jung, Sang-Kyu, Min-Hee, Suk-Chul, Sun-Jung, Yong-Sun, Yun-Hee, Tae-Hun, Sun-Hi, Yong-Sook. and Mi-Cha, who are all 4, the boys are well-behaved, but the girls are far from it, they scream, terroizes Ji-min, and the youngest, Mi-Hi begs her to play outside, which we are afraid of, because Ji-min will get sicker after 6 minutes, so she plays inside instead."

[Mi-Hi screams]

Kwan: "Mi-Hi, behaves the worst out of the North Korean vigintuplets, and Kwang-Sun from the South Korean vigintuplets."

Hye-Su: "I came home from South Korea, and Kwan came home from North Korea."

Observation Begins
Annie: "When I saw the vigintuplets playing, in another room, Kwang-Sun just hit Ji-min."

[Kwang-Sun hits and punches Ji-min]

Ji-min: "엄마! 광주 - 썬은 날 때렸어요!" (Translation: Mommy! Kwang-Sun hit me!)

Hye-Su: "네 동생을 때리지 마!" (Translation: Don't hit your sister!)

Annie: "Tell me about the holidays that your children had ruined."

Hye-Su: "St. Patrick's Day was awful, Kwang-Sun and Mi-Hi got intoxicated during a parade, they began throwing up and got sick, causing Ji-min and most of the vigintuplets running upstairs."

Annie: "Oh dear."

Hyu-Su: "Also, Mi-Hi ruined Halloween, Christmas, and Easter."

Annie: "And? What about the vigintuplets?"

Hye-Su: "Also, both sets were born on the exact same year day and month, September 15th."

Annie: "Why isn't Ji-min going to school?"

Hye-Su: "Also, Ji-min is also a very sickly girl, suffering from a fatal spina bifida, and cannot go to school, instead she is homeschooled. I have to take her to the doctor a lot."

[Ji-min is watching Popopo on TV]

Hye-Su: "I came home from South Korea at 5-years and Kwan came home from North Korea at 4-years, So we can speak Korean, we also have a Korean TV that usually plays shows from Korea, both North and South."

[Ji-min nods]

Kwan: "그녀는 또한 외부를 재생할 수는 없지만, 그녀는 회사를 유지하는 장난감을 많이 가지고" (Translation: She also cannot play outside, but she has lots of toys to keep her company)

Hye-Su: "Also, Ji-min enjoys playing with her sisters and brothers, but her brother and sisters except Mi-Hi understand spina bifida."

[Ji-min is eating a red apple]

Mi-Hi's Epic Tantrum
Annie: "When Mi-Hi wanted Ji-min to play hopscotch with her, due to spina bifida, she couldn't, and when Kwan said no, Mi-Hi kicked up a 6-hour tantrum."

Ji-min: "나는 미 - 안녕, 나는 것을 용납 할 수 없어 정말 미안합니다, 내 병은 정말 악화 수" (Translation: I'm very sorry Mi-Hi, I'm not allowed to play outside, my illness could really worsen)

Mi-Hi: (begging) "예쁜하세요? 제발?" (Translation: Pretty please? please?)

Ji-min: "나는 정말 나고 싶지만,. 어쩌면 우리 안에 돌차기 놀이 대신 재생 계신지, 좋은 소리죠?" (Translation: "I really wish I could, but I can't. Maybe we'll play hopscotch inside instead, sounds good?")

Mi-Hi: "아니오." (Translation: No!)
