Singer Ahn Chi-hwan disclosed the circumstances surrounding his battle with cancer.

On the episode of MBN's "Kim Joo-ha's Day and Night" broadcast on the 17th, Ahn cited the grueling cancer treatment he underwent more than 10 years ago as the decisive turning point that changed his music and life.

Ahn, who received a diagnosis of Stage 3 rectal cancer at the time and endured a difficult period marked by a weight loss of over 15 kg, confessed to his changed mindset: "In the past, I often heard from people around me that I was sharp and strict. After my cancer treatment, I thought, 'I need to be more tolerant' and 'I need to broaden my perspective.'"

In particular, Ahn expressed his gratitude toward his family and wife who stood by him during his illness, sharing the love story behind their relationship. Ahn revealed that he began dating his wife, a classmate from elementary school, by exchanging letters when they were in the second year of middle school, and eventually married after a long courtship. He stated, "We have shared most of my life together," evoking a warm sentiment.

Ahn also noted that while he is professional on stage and in music, he has many immature and clumsy aspects in daily life, stating, "My wife has been with me for a long time, understanding my heart, helping me, and complementing me." He further revealed that his new song, "TV Remote Control," was created based on a scene discovered in an ordinary moment with his wife, showing his unique affection for her.

Ahn also shared the story behind his new song, "This Lump of Emotion...," which contains deep affection for his late mother. Ahn explained that he turned a letter titled "To My Mother" that he had written while his mother was alive into a song. He recalled that one day, while picking up a persimmon that had fallen on the floor, he thought of his mother, and added, "Through creating the song, I was able to process my feelings about parting with my mother," leaving a poignant aftertaste.
