Comedian Jang Yong shed tears over his wife's battle with endometrial cancer.

On the 17th, Jang Yong, a comedian with 43 years of experience, appeared on MBN's "Special Report World."

That day, Jang Yong began by saying about his wife's health, "My wife underwent a medical checkup, and one of her numbers was extremely high. At that time, there were no visible signs of pain."

He continued, "Afterwards, she started bleeding from the vagina. I realized then it wasn't something minor. The diagnosis result was endometrial cancer," explaining how he learned of his wife's illness.

Jang Yong's wife recalled the difficult treatment period: "I had surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, going through these processes over several months. It was quite hard at the time. One day, all my hair suddenly fell out. Due to side effects from medication, I developed peripheral nerve damage, causing numbness in the extremities of my body."

Jang Yong said, "The hardest part was when my wife's hair all fell out," and expressed his sorrow: "Watching her look at herself in the mirror wearing a wig, I thought, 'I wish this were just a fleeting dream,' and 'I wish this weren't real.'"

He then confessed his guilt: "(My wife's illness is) entirely my fault. She told me not to pursue certain businesses, but I did anyway, leading to failure. We faced financial hardship, and bank debts piled up. Even as collection notices kept arriving monthly, she never nagged me. Now, looking back, I think she must have suppressed all that pain inside until it turned into illness." As he spoke, tears finally flowed.

Meanwhile, Jang Yong made his debut in 1983 through the 3rd MBC Radio Gag Contest.
