Singer Choi Ye-na, formerly of the project group IZ*ONE, shed tears on the small screen by revealing her past battle with illness on SBS's dating show 'My Remaining Love'.

On the evening of the 3rd, Choi Ye-na appeared as an MC in the first episode of SBS's dating variety program 'My Remaining Love' to connect with viewers.

'My Remaining Love' is a dating reality variety show featuring young people in their 20s and 30s who have received terminal diagnoses or survived near-death experiences, helping them face life and love again. In the premiere episode, Choi Ye-na joined actors Lee Se-young, CNBLUE's Jung Yong-hwa, and SEVENTEEN's Doh Kyung-soo as co-hosts, delivering honest reactions that heightened viewer immersion.

Watching videos in the studio that day, Choi Ye-na responded with comments like "heartwarming" as each participant appeared. She expressed curiosity, saying, "When I first saw the program title, I wondered if there was a set number of dates. How many times could they possibly meet?" While exchanging opinions and feelings with Lee Se-young, Jung Yong-hwa, and Doh Kyung-soo, she built rapport with the other hosts and created unique chemistry that added another layer of entertainment.

Choi Ye-na responded to every action of the participants, immersing herself uniquely through her honest reactions. Seeing a male participant clutch his heart in nervousness, she smiled brightly, saying, "Cute." When conversation stalled after introductions, she expressed regret as if she were one of the participants, saying, "I feel so embarrassed for them."

Choi Ye-na, who showed an excited heart, became deeply engaged as each participant shared their self-introductions filled with personal pain.

Especially recalling her own childhood when hearing the participants' illness stories, Choi Ye-na confessed, "When I was young, I was a pediatric lymphoma patient. So I feel deep empathy for them, and my heart feels strange."

Finally, Choi Ye-na burst into tears, saying, "When I was sick as a child, seeing my parents and family collapse and become upset made me feel like it was all my fault, so I can truly relate to their feelings," adding to the emotional weight of the moment.

'My Remaining Love' airs every Monday at 10 p.m.

Meanwhile, Choi Ye-na will hold a two-day encore solo concert titled 'From Square to the Ungraspable Otherworld: The Movie' on the 22nd and 23rd, bringing her Asian tour to a spectacular close.
