Actor Jin Tae-hyun shared the process of discovering his thyroid cancer.
On the 8th, a video titled "Don't worry, Jin Tae-hyun and Park Si-eun will overcome this" was uploaded on the 'Park Si-eun Jin Tae-hyun Small Television' channel.
On this day, Jin Tae-hyun drew attention by mentioning the diagnosis of thyroid cancer. He said, "We had a health examination around April 21st. Both of us are very healthy from the check-up. I have reached 44 years, my first health check-up in my life," adding, "I underwent a fine needle aspiration and the diagnosis came out. Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. It seems to be at a very early stage, but according to the test results, it is now confirmed as a 100% cancerous tumor, so surgery is inevitable."
Fortunately, upon hearing that treatment through surgery was possible, Jin Tae-hyun decided immediately and completed the hospital reservation. He shared, "What I want to tell you all is that I have always felt this way. There have been numerous moments in my life where I faced collapse, even when Tae-eun went to heaven. Living my life for 44 years, but collapsing is of no use."
He said, "This is a kind of cancer; it's nothing serious, they say. But you shouldn't say that. If it metastasizes, it becomes a big problem. Many people tend to think of thyroid cancer lightly. But after studying, I found out that it's not so." He added, "Si-eun is truly a benefactor to me, a lifesaver. Because I was trying to avoid this health check-up for 44 years. Si-eun dragged me into the clothing room and said, 'If you don't get this health check-up, I'll pack my bags and leave.' I can't live without Park Si-eun. So I was planning it for 66 years, but I ended up doing it 44 years later, on my 10th wedding anniversary."
Park Si-eun said, "I actually begged to do this for our 10th anniversary. I persuaded him. Now it was time for us to check our bodies. So really, he fell for my persuasion and had the health check-up; it was the right thing to do, wasn't it?" Jin Tae-hyun replied, "It's necessary. And I encourage all of you to do the same."
He continued, "This is a bit of TMI, but there was motivation behind the health check-up. Jin Sun-kyu and his spouse went in together for the examination. Sun-kyu, are you watching? You'd be shocked to hear this news. I hadn't even told Sun-kyu. The only people who knew were actually those in the broadcasting station. Our team (the divorce counseling camp) had to know, and the office staff, and only our parents knew. So I think many of them must have been surprised to hear this news."
He expressed honestly, "I am not the type to be discouraged. I am the type to move forward. So I just want to have the surgery done well and manage myself properly. Honestly, that’s all I can think about. I want to recover quickly and enjoy broadcasting even more, and I want to get better soon so that in the second half of the year, I can participate in a marathon. I just want to run well in the marathon, and if the weather is nice, I want to ride my bike. That's all I can think about."
