Musical actress Cha Ji-yeon shared a touching story about being moved by her fellow actress Kim Ho-young.
On the 9th, Cha Ji-yeon posted on her account, "The reason I am posting this photo is not to say that I am sick," and shared a picture of herself lying in a hospital bed receiving an IV drip.
She explained the episode, saying, "A month ago, on April 8th, when there were four 'Rempica' performances that week, I suddenly came down with acute laryngitis, institutional investor inflammation, and a cold.. My voice wouldn't come out properly, and on top of that, my face swelled up so much it felt like I had been stung by a bee. I was worried about whether I could perform well in this condition and felt unable to do anything. At that time, my friend Kim Ho-young, who immediately rushed to me as soon as her own schedule for the day ended, was there."
She continued, "(Kim Ho-young) looked straight into my eyes and said, 'Cha Ji, you can do it. You are someone who can definitely pull it off. And in fact, you will do it well. It's up to your mindset. Don't be afraid. I believe in you.' Was it because of his strength, who spoke to me with a firm tone and held a more solid belief than I did myself? Although I wasn't at 100% condition, I was able to finish that week's 'Rempica' performance well, relying on precious people and friends who cheered for me, as well as senior and junior colleagues on stage."

Cha Ji-yeon added, "And today, a month later, similar symptoms have returned, but I will stand on the scheduled stage with responsibility. Although I am not at my best condition, I will do my absolute best. The reason I have started to believe in myself like this is none other than my friend's sincere heart and his words toward me. What a wonderful person. My wonderful and beautiful friend Hoi. I am truly grateful."
Netizens who saw the post left supportive comments such as, "This friendship is truly enviable. Please don't get sick," "There are many people who believe in and support you. Please recover your health and we will always cheer for you," and "Unnie.. Please don't get sick. Please don't overdo it."
Meanwhile, Cha Ji-yeon is currently starring as the character Rafah in the musical 'Rempica,' which is being performed at Seoul COEX Artium from March until the 21st. Kim Ho-young is also appearing in 'Rempica' in the role of Marinetti.

The reason I am posting this photo is not to say that I am sick.
A month ago, on April 8th
When there were four 'Rempica' performances that week
I suddenly came down with acute laryngitis, institutional investor inflammation, and a cold..
My voice wouldn't come out properly
And on top of that, my face swelled up so much it felt like I had been stung by a bee
I was worried about whether I could perform well in this condition..
While I was unable to do anything in worry
As soon as her own schedule for the day ended
My friend Kim Ho-young, who happily rushed to me.
She looked straight into my two eyes and said to me.
"Cha Ji, you can do it.
You are someone who can definitely pull it off
And in fact, you will do it well
It's up to your mindset. Don't be afraid. I believe in you."
Holding a more solid belief than I did
Was it because of his strength, who spoke to me with a firm tone?
Although I wasn't at 100% condition
Precious people and friends who cheered for me
And on stage, relying on senior and junior colleagues
I was able to finish that week's 'Rempica' performance well.
And today, a month later
Similar symptoms have returned, but
I will stand on the scheduled stage with responsibility
Although I am not at my best condition
I will do my absolute best.
The reason I have started to believe in myself like this
Is none other than my friend's sincere heart and his words toward me.
I don't know how grateful this is..
It may seem like a natural thing to someone else
But for me, it was truly a happy, precious, and major turning point
So overwhelming..
What a wonderful person.
My wonderful and beautiful friend Hoi.
I am truly grateful.
Today and tomorrow as well
I will do my best and try to do well.
Let's grow old beautifully and healthily!!!!
Lift me up♥♥♥♥♥♥
