Actor Yoon Seok-hwa expressed his wish to remain a beautiful actor.
In the 'Open Interview' of Channel A's 'News A' broadcast on the 14th, Yoon Seok-hwa, who was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor and is fighting the disease, appeared.
On this day's broadcast, Seok-Hwa Yoon talked about his feelings at the time of being diagnosed with a brain tumor, saying, "I was a little shocked. Even cancer can kill most cancers, isn't it the brain itself? I honestly laughed. Then I came to my senses. This really isn't anything, it's just a tool." I confessed it.
Were there any precursor symptoms of a brain tumor? Seok-Hwa Yoon explained, "There was nothing. I had a lot of hard times due to my personal life. I knew I was very tired, but I didn't think I was particularly sick. I collapsed while on a business trip to London. My junior quickly arranged for me to get to the hospital and I came to Korea in an air ambulance."
Seokhwa Yoon said, "I don't remember the day of the surgery, but the day I arrived in Seoul was October 7 or 8 last year. The first and second surgeries were simple, and the third was a full-scale surgery for the tumor. The surgery lasted over 20 hours. So. "All my front teeth were gone. Because the surgery lasted over 20 hours, I had to breathe through the esophagus. As a result, all my front teeth were gone."
Seok-Hwa Yoon said, "People say it's a miracle that I recovered this much. At first, I had targeted radiation treatment. It was really hard at the time. I weighed 43 kg at the time. I lost 7 kg, which was incredible. Now I'm up to 40 kg. My doctor said "He didn't just look at my illness, he gave me my life. He understood when I told him that chemotherapy was difficult and not right for him and that I was going to use natural treatment methods."
Also, "Whether I'm at 5 or 6 a.m., a nurse comes in and ruthlessly inserts intravenous injections. I start screaming every morning, wondering how much it hurts me. I scream every morning about how long I will live, and I hate someone and wonder what I'll be like." "At the time, I hated him so much that I thought the leader of the party would leave. That shouldn't be possible. Starting the day like that is not life. Even if I lived for a week, I wanted to live like myself. More than anything, I wanted to see the children I love to the fullest."
Yoon Seok-hwa smiled and said, "What I comfort myself and reassure people around me is that I am healthy except for cancer. I have no intention of fighting with cancer. Since we have already met, let's just be friends. When I leave, I say goodbye quietly."
Seokhwa Yoon said, "My mother had cancer. She was sentenced to 4 months, but she passed away 20 years later. She walked several times a day to buy groceries. When my mother died, she said she wanted to do something and die. I got that kind of temperament from my mother. “It looks similar,” he said.
Not only that, "I have recovered to the point where I don't have any problems with my daily life. I still can't sit for long when I'm outside. When I go to a concert hall, I have to sit in the audience for 5 hours, and that's difficult sometimes. In my opinion, the stage is the most true ground." Isn’t that true? I think living breathing and honest breathing are important. I think that’s the strength that keeps me alive.”
Yoon Seok-hwa said, "I am so grateful when I meet the audience. They remember me like this, and I want to be happy to the audience who are watching and waiting for my performance and wishing me well before I die. I want to remain the most beautiful actor on stage. She has many things. “There are pros and cons, but I think it would be nice if someone remembered that I was just as beautiful on stage.”
