Actor Kim Woo Bin shared his emotional journey through nasopharyngeal cancer on the September 16 episode of “Jjanhan Hyung Shin Dong-yeop.”

Host Shin Dong-yeop recalled Kim Woo Bin’s struggle, saying, “He usually hides his pain, so it was a shock when it came to light. I understand the difficulty of cancer treatment because I saw my mother go through it.”

Kim Woo Bin responded, “I’m usually a positive person and try to see the good in situations. When the doctors told me I had a ‘short period of six months’ to deal with, I was very scared and shocked.”

He continued, “I wished it was just a bad dream, but even then, I didn’t think, ‘What if I can’t get through this?’ I saw it as an opportunity. I initially struggled, but during treatment, I shifted my mindset. After ten years of nonstop work, I thought it was a chance to reflect and spend time with my family.”

Kim Woo Bin added, “Going through treatment is tough, but I felt the power of the support and prayers from many people who know me. The doctors said my progress was ‘amazing,’ and I believe this support helped my recovery.”

He also mentioned, “I want to pass on the prayers I received. Before bed, I pray for miracles in other homes. I keep this mission close to my heart.” He concluded, “I’m expressing more to my parents now, but it’s still nerve-wracking even though they are the closest to me.”

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.
