Singer Choi Ye-na spoke about her battle with pediatric cancer during her childhood.
On the 19th, Choi Ye-na appeared on MBC's variety program 'Omniscient Interfering View' (hereinafter 'Jeonchamsi'), sharing details of her daily life.
That day, Choi Ye-na said regarding concerns about her mother's health: "When I was young, I had pediatric cancer. Life and death were on the line. I was four years old. When I was in such severe pain that even the hospital said there was no hope, my parents took a photo to a shaman, who reportedly asked, 'Why are you bringing a picture of a dead child?'"

She continued: "My mom and dad cherished me desperately, determined to save my life. My body was extremely weak. I was as innocent and carefree as a little doll. When I injured my leg, the hospital said I couldn't walk anymore. So my mom took me to a public bathhouse and threw me into the event pool because I was short. A month later, I could walk again. I believe my mother saved a fate that should have been lost."
Regarding her parents, Choi Ye-na expressed: "I caused them so much worry, and I feel deeply sorry for that. From then on, I resolved to succeed unconditionally and repay their kindness through filial piety. Because I worked so hard, they are now very happy."
She also mentioned the grand gesture she made for her parents: "I gave my parents a new house and swapped my mom's car. This time, I plan to replace my dad's car as well. Right now, I am always happy."
