Singer Baek Ji-young and actor Jung Seok-won have publicly shared concerns about their daughter's growth.

On the 19th, a video titled "First Reveal of the Secret Behind Baek Ji-young's Daughter's Explosive Growth: Growing 1cm Per Month" was uploaded to Baek Ji-young's YouTube channel.

Baek Ji-young visited a pediatric growth clinic with her husband Jung Seok-won. Regarding their third-grade elementary school daughter, Ha-im, who is now 154cm tall, Baek said, "She is growing extremely fast compared to her peers. I was curious about the reason for her rapid growth and had heard she might have been diagnosed with precocious puberty, so I wanted to find out for sure. However, when I searched online, there were too many rumors. That's why I came here to consult a doctor who could provide definitive answers."

Jung Seok-won also commented on their daughter: "Ha-im is growing very quickly. She has developed a lot of body hair. I started wondering if everything was okay."

After meeting with the doctor, Baek Ji-young explained: "Starting from early in her seventh year, she began growing 1cm every month. It's not just about height; for the past six months, signs of second-stage sexual development have become visible. Her shoe size is already 240."

Upon hearing this, the doctor stated, "Precocious puberty is diagnosed when breast development begins before age eight and progresses significantly before age nine. We confirm this by taking X-rays of growth plates or conducting hormone tests through blood work. The reason we diagnose and treat it is because girls may experience early menstruation, which can lead to a loss in final height potential."

Baek Ji-young admitted, "I'm not too worried about her height, but I am concerned about early menstruation." Jung Seok-won added, "Ha-im suffers severely from growth pains. She cries out in pain three to four times a week. She says the pain is worse than that of COVID-19. However, we are giving her Tylenol, and I'm worried about potential side effects."

The doctor responded, "This can happen when a child is very active during the day. Try reducing their activity level to see if it helps."

After completing the hospital consultation, Baek Ji-young said, "I feel like even my lingering worries have been eased. I don't think she has precocious puberty."

Baek Ji-young married Jung Seok-won in 2013 and has one daughter.
