Actress Yoon Joo announced her thyroid surgery.

On the 24th, Yoon Joo posted on her SNS: "I'm sorry for causing you all to worry over something that wasn't serious. It wasn't a major issue, but since a thyroid nodule changed shape, the doctor recommended surgery, so I had a thyroid half-removal. Thank you so much for your concern and support," along with a photo.

The released photo shows Yoon Joo in a hospital gown, gazing at the camera.

She added, "The operating table is really... I thought it was fine since it wasn't my first time, but I think I was secretly very nervous. Still, thinking this is truly the last one, I mustered up the strength to say 'Aja!' I'm now focusing solely on recovery. The professor and medical team performed the surgery so well, and I'm waiting to be discharged. I'll work hard to recover for 1-2 weeks and return to daily life properly."

Yoon Joo previously revealed in 2020 that she was battling acute liver failure. At the time, her liver function had worsened due to side effects from antibiotics, and she underwent a liver transplant in 2021 and recovered.
