What is the 'rare incurable disease' that Jang Ki-ha suffered from... "Finger deformed and bent, there is no cure"

A couple of musicians with a rare incurable disease that singer Jang Ki-ha also suffered from shared their concerns.

A male pianist client and a female flutist client appeared on KBS Joy's entertainment program 'Ask Anything', which aired on the 19th.

On this day, the two said, "I want to be a performer, but I can't," and "Two years ago, both of them had a rare incurable disease in their hands."

The rare and incurable disease that the two suffer from is focal dystonia, which is a disease that causes abnormal movement and posture due to muscle contraction regardless of the person's intention. The male client explained, "It occurs in 1 out of 100 people." A female client also replied, "It's like that as long as you play."

This disease is said to have been experienced by Jang Ki-ha and Robert Schumann. A male client expressed regret by saying, “We dreamed of becoming musicians all our lives, but we are in a situation where we can’t do anything after getting a degree.”

The male client said, "One day, while practicing a new song, my hand suddenly got stuck on the keyboard. When I tried to lift my hand, it started to strain and (my hand) was deformed."

The female client said, “There is no concept of a cure,” and “There are only 10 people around the world who are researching this disease. Two of them are active in Germany. "he confessed.

Seo Jang-hoon said, “I am not an expert, but I think I know why. Isn't it?" he advised.
