Comedian Park Mi-sun recently opened up about her journey with breast cancer, expressing gratitude and hope after her battle.

On the October 12th episode of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block,' Park Mi-sun made her return to television after 10 months, sharing candidly about her cancer journey and the changes it brought to her life.

During the broadcast, Park Mi-sun recalled, "I underwent 12 rounds of chemotherapy and 16 sessions of radiation therapy.

Despite the long treatment, Park Mi-sun found gratitude and hope. She shared, "When I was diagnosed, I didn't smoke or drink, so I didn't understand why it happened. But because I lived my life diligently, I didn't hate, blame, or regret. I needed the strength to fight and win," she explained.

Park Mi-sun continued, "I was grateful for the many people who prayed for me. I found gratitude in everything. During chemotherapy, you lose your hair, and you need to keep warm with a hat. If I had been sick in the summer, it would have been unbearable. I was thankful to be sick in the winter, and I was grateful for the cool places where I received radiation therapy in the summer," she said, maintaining a positive outlook despite the challenges.

Additionally, a touching story about Park Mi-sun's daughter was shared. Her daughter, who devotedly cared for her mother, kept a journal of the journey. She said, "When I heard my mom was sick, my heart sank. I left the door open at night, just in case," moving the audience with her dedication.
