Jimmy, who gained recognition by appearing on MBN's dating reality program 'Single's 4', revealed that his mother is battling cancer.
Recently, Jimmy posted a photo of his mother on his Instagram, stating, "My mother was recently diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer," and added, "She will begin chemotherapy next week, so I plan to stay in Korea for the time being to be by her side."
He further said, "It will be a difficult time, but I sincerely hope the treatment proceeds well and the cancer shrinks even a little."
Jimmy also remarked, "While accompanying my mother to the hospital, I realized that many people and families are fighting similar battles. If you or your family members are currently battling cancer, I want to assure you that you are not alone. I will pray and cheer for you together. If you could, please pray for my mother."
Finally, Jimmy added, "If anyone has had similar experiences, I would be grateful if you could share stories or advice that were helpful to patients or their families. I hope everyone stays healthy and happy."

Following Jimmy's confession, support from netizens continued. In response, his wife Hee-jin stated, "Although it hasn't been long since my husband posted the video, many people have contacted us with comments and messages. We are so grateful. Please also pray that my husband, who is staying by my mother's side, does not become physically exhausted."
Meanwhile, Jimmy appeared in the 2023 U.S.-themed season of 'Single's 4'. At that time, Jimmy and Hee-jin became the final couple, and the two have maintained a long-distance relationship spanning one year and three months, shuttling between the United States and Canada since the broadcast. They married the following August and welcomed a daughter in December of that year.
