Singer Shin Seong shared the news of her father's stomach cancer diagnosis.
On the the 5th broadcast of KBS 2TV "Immortal Songs: National Trot Grand Festival Part 2," Shin Seong took the stage as a representative from Chungcheong alongside Namgung Jin. After moving the judges with an emotional performance, she faced off against Kang Hye-yeon and Yang Ji-eun, representatives from Jeju.
However, unexpected news was revealed. Shin Seong said, "It is personal matter, but my father was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer two months ago. He is currently fighting the disease while undergoing chemotherapy. To my father who may be listening to this song, I hope you overcome the cancer. I love you," bringing tears to the audience.
In response, MC Shin Dong-yeop encouraged her, saying, "My mother also passed away early in 1995, and the hospital at the time said there was no hope. But she lived much longer while watching me work hard as a rookie comedian. I hope Shin Seong's father recovers soon."
Meanwhile, in today's matchup, Kang Hye-yeon and Yang Ji-eun defeated Shin Seong and Namgung Jin to secure two consecutive victories.
