'Radio Star' Jang Geun-suk discussed his battle with thyroid cancer.

On the 16th broadcast of the MBC entertainment program 'Radio Star' (hereafter 'RS'), a special on 'World Class, I Can Only See You~' featured Jang Geun-suk, Lee Hong-gi, Subin, and Kim Shin-young granting their appearance.

That day, Jang Geun-suk opened up about his reason for appearing on 'Radio Star,' saying, 'I was a bit ill last year. I was fighting thyroid cancer, and I discovered it early when it was very small.'

He continued, 'I usually get health check-ups once a year. But suddenly, I was advised that surgery would be good. However, at that time, there was a medical crisis. I couldn't undergo surgery for about 10 months. So, I was wondering what to do about work. I postponed projects and waited, and suddenly there was an opening, so I underwent surgery immediately.'

Jang Geun-suk even mentioned, 'At that time, I didn't tell anyone. Not even my parents,' adding, 'I thought it would be difficult for others to empathize if I talked about that pain. The pain that others have not experienced is actually something they might feel is burdensome to relate to, so I stayed silent and bore it quietly.'

Fortunately, Jang Geun-suk stated he is now cured. He expressed, 'I have become so healthy, and I have a desire to talk more in front of many people and to engage actively, so I wanted to go out.'
