    It was an emotional day for actor Lee Chae Min, who couldn’t hold back his tears during his last broadcast as the MC of KBS 2TV’s ‘Music Bank’.

    As he began the show, his emotions got the better of him and he was seen crying during his opening remarks.

    His co-host, Hong Eunchae, pointed out that it was Lee Chae Min’s last day as an MC for ‘Music Bank’.

    Hearing this, Lee Chae Min choked up and shed tears as he said, “I’ve been with ‘Music Bank’ for 1 year and 7 months.” Hong Eunchae then took over and said, “We are saying our final goodbye today.”

    Once he regained his composure, Lee Chae Min asked the audience, “Did you all enjoy the time with me? I was also happy.”

    When asked about his most memorable moment, he mentioned, “The moment when I did ‘check check check’ with Eun Chae is very memorable, as well as my first stage and first live broadcast when I was nervous.”

    In the end, Lee Chae Min said, “But there is always a new meeting when there is a farewell. Thinking about the opportunity to meet with the fans somewhere else, I’ve already cried, but I’ll finish today cheerfully,” and continued the live broadcast.

    Earlier that day, Lee Chae Min also expressed his feelings about leaving ‘Music Bank’ through his agency. He said, “I learned and felt a lot through ‘Music Bank’. It was an honor to be with wonderful artists, and it was a happy time to be with ‘Music Bank’. Thank you for giving me a lot of love as an MC for ‘Music Bank’. In the future, I will show you a better side as an actor, so please look forward to actor Lee Chae Min. Once again, I sincerely thank you.”

  • Former Crayon Pop's ChoA Opens Up About Her Struggle with Cervical Cancer: 'I Dream of the Day I Can Have a Drink with My Husband Again'"

    ChoA, former member of the girl group Crayon Pop, has bravely shared her ongoing battle with cervical cancer and her emotional journey.

    On January 28, ChoA posted a heartfelt update on her social media, explaining her struggles. "I usually laugh, talk, and live my life as usual, but there are moments when I suddenly face a reality that isn’t like before, and it gets tough," she shared.

    She went on to say, "Recently, something difficult happened, and in the past, I would have had a drink with my husband to shake it off. I really miss being able to do that."

    ChoA admitted that she still can’t fully believe her diagnosis. "When I face the reality I’ve been avoiding, my heart that I’ve built up breaks down," she said. "But the life I’m living now, which I’m still enjoying, is something that someone else might be wishing for. I try to gather my thoughts again with gratitude."

    She also expressed hope for the future, saying, "Lately, I dream of a day five years from now when I’ll be declared cancer-free and be able to have a drink with my husband after putting the kids to bed, after all the struggles. It’s been almost two years, so I believe the day I get that clean bill of health will come soon."

    ChoA married a businessman in 2021, six years older than her. In October 2023, she revealed her cervical cancer diagnosis, sharing that she had been diagnosed during a routine check-up in her first year of marriage.

    Despite everything, ChoA remains hopeful, noting that the cancer was smaller than expected during surgery, and she was able to preserve her fertility—a step closer to her dream of becoming a mother.
