Comedian Park Mi-seon shared her emotional journey while battling cancer.

On the 6th, a video titled "Day I Want to Hear Stories, Episode 100 Special 4 - Park Mi-seon Special (Talk Concert)" was released on the YouTube channel 'His Days'.

Recalling the time she was diagnosed with breast cancer, Park Mi-seon said, "When I heard the word 'cancer,' I thought, 'What did I do wrong? What did I do to deserve such punishment?' It was overwhelming because a healthy person suddenly fell ill."

She added, "In fact, I've been on air for nearly 40 years, and I used to boast on broadcasts that I never took a break—not even a month after my first child or a month after my second. But looking back, I truly lived as if I were being wrung dry."

Park Mi-seon also reflected on her time battling cancer, saying, "I saw flowers blooming in the fields and the sunset, and I was so moved by their beauty that I cried. I felt grateful to God for giving me this time, during which I realized He had given me a beautiful world where birds sing and flowers bloom with each season."

Park Mi-seon also spoke about the difficult chemotherapy treatment she underwent. She said, "I received chemotherapy in winter. For women's cancers, not only does hair fall from the head, but all body hair falls out, so I felt extremely cold at the time. I was glad I had chemotherapy in winter. I thought, 'Couldn't I just turn my hat upside down?' I was even grateful for that." She added, "I received radiation therapy in July and August. It was so cold inside the radiation room, but I was grateful just to be there. I even felt grateful that I could receive treatment comfortably on a hot day."

She continued, "Because I lost all my body hair, I realized how important nose hair is. My nose hair fell out too, causing excessive runny nose, and my eyelashes fell out, allowing too much foreign matter to enter my eyes, which was very difficult. Inflammation also developed on my cornea, and I had to visit an eye clinic. Now that my nose hair is growing back normally, I am grateful for even the smallest things like that."

Park Mi-seon said, "I am not fully cured, so I undergo regular checkups. When I went in for an abdominal CT scan, the doctor said, 'I prayed briefly before taking the CT,' and I was truly grateful. Many people prayed for me," expressing her gratitude to those who wished for her recovery.

Park Mi-seon also mentioned that her relationship with her husband, Lee Bong-won, changed during her battle with cancer. She said, "After falling ill, my relationship with my husband improved significantly. I thought I would either end things with him or get closer, but instead, our relationship became even better than before, and we started expressing our feelings more openly."

Meanwhile, Park Mi-seon suspended her broadcasting activities for 10 months starting last February due to her battle with breast cancer. During her treatment, she also shaved her head while undergoing chemotherapy. She later made her return on the tvN variety program 'You Quiz on the Block' in November last year. Additionally, Park Mi-seon is positively considering appearing in the upcoming June broadcast of the MBN celebrity family observation variety program 'Burning Family' (working title).
