Veteran singer Ok Hee (73) is reported to be in critical condition.

According to Daily Sports on the 19th, Ok Hee was diagnosed with kidney cancer in February 2025 and has been undergoing treatment for two years. Her health has recently deteriorated sharply. Ok Hee is currently hospitalized at a medical foundation in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, with her husband, former boxer Hong Su-hwan, by her side.

Ok Hee appeared on MBC's "Good Day" in January, revealing that her kidney cancer had metastasized but that she was overcoming it well. However, her condition has worsened sharply over the past month.

Born in 1953 and now 73 years old, Ok Hee gained great popularity in 1974 as a member of the girl group Seoul Sisters in the United States. She debuted in the Korean music industry with the song "I Don't Know" and released hit songs such as "Speak with Your Eyes" and "Neighbors."

Ok Hee married Hong Su-hwan in 1977 but divorced a year later. They did not meet for 16 years before reuniting in 1995. They have one daughter and one son.
