Jang Keun-suk, who revealed that “the first thing I do when I wake up is check my blood pressure to manage my cancer treatment,” said about how he discovered thyroid cancer, “I was getting a health checkup and they said, ‘I think there’s something there.’So I had a biopsy and it was thyroid cancer.”

Jang Keun-suk said, “There is a sense of fear that comes with the word’ cancer.’People say that thyroid cancer is a good cancer, but where in the world is there a good cancer?” He added, “I was so flustered that I didn’ t tell anyone, including my family, for a week.I thought my family would have a hard time because of me.Fortunately, my parents didn’t say, ‘What should we do?’ but rather, ‘Let’s set a date quickly, ‘and I was able to get the surgery quickly afterwards.”

The MCs asked, “Has your attitude toward life changed since your battle with cancer?” Jang Geun Suk answered, “I’ve come to treat myself more preciously.I try to do less things that are bad for my body.Naturally, I don’t smoke anymore.” Jang Geun Suk continued, “(Being diagnosed with cancer)has made me stronger, “and surprised everyone by saying,” I have one greed.It might sound presumptuous, but I want to make more money.So I have a dream of sharing as much love as I’ve received.I also have a dream about charity work, so I’m studying it.”



Jang Keun-suk also said, “I donated about 1.2 billion won to my alma mater.When I wasn’t feeling well, I went to my alma mater’s hospital, and they helped me get surgery under good conditions after seeing the list of donors there.” He continued, “I felt strongly in my life that the things I tried to give eventually came back to me.I thought that this was a rule set by heaven, and I felt that the things I helped others eventually came back to me.”

Jang Keun Suk continued, “I’m not satisfied with my life up until now, but I thought that I should work harder to earn more money and give to more people,” and added, “Other people might say, ‘He’s still greedy.He’s showing off, ‘but I’m not really afraid of criticism because I’ll keep my word,” drawing admiration.

Jang Geun Suk also talked about his advance into Japan.The MCs asked when he advanced into Japan, and Jang Geun Suk revealed that he had a fan meeting in Japan when he was 20 years old, and said, “I liked Japanese music when I was in middle school.So I taught myself Japanese.After that, I went to New Zealand to study abroad in my third year of middle school and exchanged music CDs with Japanese exchange students, and I saw the Japanese singer SMAP’s Tokyo Dome concert.After seeing that, I said, ‘I’ll go to Tokyo Dome in 10 years, ‘and I went after 7 years.”

However, Jang Keun Suk revealed that he has no memory of the Tokyo Dome concert, which was his dream stage, and said, “I had severe depression a month before the concert.I didn’ t value myself and just ran.I don’t know how I did the concert.Later on, I thought, ‘That’s me? ‘“ Jang Keun Suk also recalled the past, saying, “After the concert, I was sick for six months and went to the hospital,” causing pity.

Jang Keun Suk then talked about his past struggles with bipolar disorder, saying, “I was diagnosed with bipolar 2.For six months, I had no motivation, and for six months, ideas poured in.Fortunately, I was able to complete my plans well,” and added, “I’m grateful to the bipolar disorder that gave me the ideas,” drawing admiration from viewers with his positive attitude.Jang Keun Suk also said, “(While working as a social service worker)it was the first time in my life that I had a regular life.After two years, my body and mind became healthy, and I’ve been doing well since then, “and drew admiration from viewers with his mature words, saying,” I think that the reason we get sick is not because of something great, but because it starts from small things.”
