The World On arirang

Huh Chan-keum and Breno Prudente de Oliveira Jr. have been married for 25 years. They met in 1984 at a college meeting when they were still students. Five years later they tied the knot and moved to Breno's home country, Brazil. They lived happily with their daughter and son until early this year Chan-keum was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was hard to come to terms with the harsh reality. She decided to seek help in her hometown in Korea.

At her sister's recommendation, she underwent a checkup at an accredited hospital in Busan that specializes in breast cancer, hoping that her diagnosis would turn out to be false. But Korean doctors confirmed her disease and she underwent surgery in March 2014. At the hospital she met Lee Joo-sook, who also had breast cancer, and they became friends. Lee Joo-sook invited Chan-geum to visit her in Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do Province. After resting in a scenic village, Chan-keum, her husband and Lee Joo-sook embarked on a healing trip around Gangwon-do.
