'My Remaining Love' Kim Seon-ho is a former blood cancer patient who has been declared fully cured.

On the first broadcast of SBS's 'My Remaining Love' on the 3rd, Kim Seon-ho revealed diary entries written during his illness: "I was serving in the military when I was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. I underwent daily tests, and every time the military physician conducted rounds, he told me my condition had worsened. He said the progression was too fast and that something unknown was dissolving my bones. I couldn't tell my parents. I felt ashamed because they had already worked so hard, and I didn't want to become a burden or cause them worry."

He continued, "Our family's financial situation wasn't good, so I felt like adding another burden on top of theirs. It was as if I were driving nails into my parents' hearts, which is why I couldn't speak up. I asked the military physician whether I could die, and he told me there was no way to rule out all possibilities. It felt as though the sky had collapsed. My mother cried, saying she was sorry. I only told her I was fine because I didn't want her to worry if I started crying, but in truth, I was so scared that tears came out."

Kim Seon-ho added, "My condition deteriorated. Even narcotic painkillers weren't effective. The moments of despair were unbearable. I truly thought I might die. I had suggested to the others in my hospital room that once we recovered, we should go out for a beer. There were three of us, but only I survived." He then disclosed that his diagnosis was anaplastic large cell lymphoma, a type of blood cancer known for its rarity.

He noted, "Five years have passed since last year. My outpatient medical record stated 'Thank you for your hard work.' I couldn't quite understand the sentiment behind those words. I felt that I had endured hardship and fought fiercely." He also shared that he had broken up with his girlfriend during his illness, drawing attention to his personal struggles at the time.
