Actress Uhm Jeong-hwa, "After thyroid cancer surgery, my nerves died."

Singer and actor Uhm Jeong-hwa mentioned the condition of her neck after thyroid cancer surgery in 2010.

On the 13th, singer and actor Uhm Jeong-hwa appeared as a guest on the YouTube channel 'Seong Si-kyung'.

In the released video titled ‘I will meet Sung Si-kyung, I ate a lot and laughed a lot with Uhm Jung-hwa’s lovely older sister,’ Uhm Jeong-hwa revealed her current situation after thyroid surgery.

On this day, Uhm Jung-hwa visited Seong Si-kyung's house and talked to him. Seong Si-kyung personally prepared food for Uhm Jung-hwa. Uhm Jung-hwa said, "I had a preview yesterday and had an after-party until 3 a.m. I took off my makeup in the morning."

Seong Si-kyung prepared fried sundae as an appetizer for Uhm Jung-hwa, and then served gambas and bread. Uhm Jung-hwa asked, “Why are you so warm today?” and Sung Si-kyung responded, “Do you make it cold?” Uhm Jeong-hwa, who said she had seen 'We'll Meet' starring actor Ha Jung-woo, said, "The tablecloth has changed. I saw that actor Ha Jung-woo was appearing and it looked very dull. I was going to buy it for him," making everyone burst into laughter.

Uhm Jung-hwa, who made a comeback to the big screen after 3 years with the movie 'Fair Girl', said, "I filmed this movie a year ago. I was waiting for it to be released, but I had to see it too. I watched it again during a press preview. It was crazy. It was fun, but I felt like it wasn't fun. "Because no one reacted. I was constantly on edge, so I felt dizzy and wanted to vomit. I went out in the middle and vomited," he said.

To this, Seong Si-kyung added, "It's because I'm stressed. I've never vomited because I ate something when I was stressed. I also want to become sensitive like an artist." Uhm Jung-hwa said she mustered up the courage to watch the VIP screening and honestly said, "People were cheering and laughing. I was really happy."

While talking about 'Beautiful Girl', Seong Si-kyung said, "Why don't you become a singer? I liked 'Dance Singer Wandering Troupe'." Uhm Jung-hwa announced that she will be holding a concert in December. In response, Sung Si-kyung asked, "I've made a big decision. Is your neck okay?" and Uhm Jung-hwa said, "I'm not sure about that either. I don't know. But I want to do it. And I feel like I have to do it this year. If I do this this time, it'll be the first time I've done it in 20 years. “The last concert was in 2000.”

Regarding the concert, Sung Si-kyung said, "Now that I think about it, you have so many dance songs. Should I do ballads?" Uhm Jung-hwa said, "'Love that only heaven allows'? I wasn't confident in my voice so I avoided doing that. If I could. “I wanted to avoid everything,” he said.

Uhm Jung-hwa explained, "I was not confident in my voice, so I avoided everything. My nerves died because of the thyroid surgery." In response, Sung Si-kyung said, "The cracking voice is also beautiful," and Uhm Jung-hwa added, "It wasn't the cracking that was the problem. It was the sound that deviated and broke that was so scary."

It is known that Uhm Jung-hwa, who underwent surgery for thyroid cancer in 2010, accidentally touched her vocal cords during the surgery, leaving her paralyzed on one side and unable to speak for eight months.
