Singer Ta Jin-ah shared his recent situation.

On the 22nd, Ta Jin-ah appeared on the YouTube channel 'CGN' and expressed his love for his wife, who has been battling dementia.

That day, Ta Jin-ah said, "For the past two years, I've been almost entirely focused on my wife. I have to give her medicine about 13 times a day," adding, "Because she lacks cognitive ability, it's difficult for her to go to the bathroom alone."

He continued, "I have to change her diapers. There's no time or energy left like in the past to appear on broadcasts. If I consider my own mobility as 100%, then 90% of that has disappeared. Only 10% remains slightly, but I have an obligation to stay by my wife's side for that remaining 90%."

Regarding his wife, who has been battling dementia for seven years, he said, "She is like a complete baby. She gets happy when I say 'Ok-kyeong looks pretty' or when I express 'I love you so much.'"

He also revealed, "Just a year ago, we used to go out to cafes together. She didn't like it if we didn't go together. When I took her, she would sit quietly and eat, but now that she has forgotten all of that, I have to change her diapers, which is difficult. Since she realizes it's embarrassing, she starts shouting."

Despite this, he has not given up on his music work. He stated, "When I'm bored, I sing occasionally. As a singer by profession, I release songs regularly once a year. I want to provide fan service for my fans."
