Park Joo-ho of 'Dojang TV' revealed the recent situation of his wife, Anna, who is battling cancer.
In an episode titled 'Finding Myself, Not Just Someone's Dad' released on the afternoon of the 30th on Do Kyung-wan's YouTube channel 'Dojang TV', former soccer player Park Joo-ho appeared.
On that day, Do Kyung-wan introduced Park Joo-ho as a former colleague. Park Joo-ho and Do Kyung-wan have a connection as they both appeared together on the KBS 2TV entertainment program 'The Return of Superman'. They even won an award together.
While talking about the well-being of the children, Do Kyung-wan also asked about Park Joo-ho's wife, Anna. Anna had previously revealed her battle with cancer, which had added to the concern. Recently, she shared updates about her recovery and received a lot of support.
Do Kyung-wan asked, "I'm afraid to ask. Your wife is doing fine now, right?"
Park Joo-ho responded, "She's fine. Thankfully, her progress has been really good. Even back then, my wife always said that I should not stop exercising, so I persevered. It was also a motivation for me."
Do Kyung-wan also mentioned Park Joo-ho's retirement interview. He said he was moved to tears watching it, especially due to the mention of his parents.
Park Joo-ho said, "My parents were like, 'Ah, it's time to stop, Joo-ho.' When I decided to retire, they said it was the right choice. Because they were always worried about me getting injured, and if I didn't perform well, I would face criticism. It's a position where I'm always being tested."
Park Joo-ho continued, "When I was first selected for the national team, I felt joy, but then the worries would take over. My parents watched the entire 90 minutes of the game, concerned the whole time. All parents probably feel that way. They would say, 'You worked hard. You did enough.' My parents almost never show it. Even when someone mentions me, they don't say, 'That's our son, Park Joo-ho.'"
