During the conversation that day, Kim Young-chul mentioned recent photos of Yang Hee-eun using a cane and posing with Park Mi-sun and others, asking about her health.

In response, Yang Hee-eun disclosed, "I had cancer surgery. I underwent cancer surgery in April and a corneal transplant surgery in June."

Yang Hee-eun also mentioned Park Mi-sun, who had been fighting breast cancer, saying, "We met and shouted 'Cancer Strong' together," showing that she remains healthy even after her illness.

Regarding her swollen appearance in the photo, Yang Hee-eun joked, "Lee Sung-mi said I couldn't take photos, but they took the picture from below the stairs. That's why I look swollen."
