In tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereinafter referred to as 'You Quiz'), which aired on the 7th, Uhm Jung-hwa, the best diva in Korea, appeared in the special feature of 'Don't give up'. Uhm Jung-hwa said, “I finally sit here.” “I really wanted to come. don't call me too much I really wanted to come here more than anywhere else.”

He then said, "I really like it" at the popularity of 'Doctor Cha Jung-sook' and said, "No, what is this? A day like this is coming, that's how it feels." At the same time, he laughed at the viewers, saying, "Thank you for loving 'Doctor Cha Jung-sook' so much and I'm happy."

Also, “Cha Jung-sook is also finding her own way from a housewife to a doctor after 20 years, and I, Uhm Jung-hwa, also seem to have received such a warm reaction in 20 years.” It’s the same,” he said, expressing his emotion.

Also, about the first broadcast of 'Doctor Cha Jeong-sook', "I received a message from the production team and the article came out well. It was so good,” he said. I couldn't record Feelings came up, I went into a room without a camera and cried for 30 minutes while saying 'Wait a minute'. They were tears of joy.”

Uhm Jung-hwa also shared her feelings while fighting thyroid cancer. Yoo Jae-seok asked, "I was afraid that I would not be able to sing again." Uhm Jung-hwa said, “I had thyroid cancer surgery after 'Disco'. I couldn't hear my voice for 8 months after the surgery. No one knew at the time. If I said it, I felt like I wouldn't be able to do what I wanted to do. The fear of not being able to speak was enormous.”

“There were times when I worried whenever my voice trembled and cracked. Even today, if you look at the comments, there is a response that Uhm Jung-hwa's voice is low, where it hurts. But it doesn't hurt. Now, I hope you all accept that my voice is like this.”
