Singer Ta Jin-ah has shared his daily life caring for his wife, who has been battling dementia for seven years.

On the 22nd, a video titled "A Lover Protecting His Wife Battling Dementia for Seven Years" was released on the YouTube channel 'CGN' program 'THE NEW Sky Blue Fragrance'.

In the released video, Ta Jin-ah revealed that he devotes most of his time to caregiving to stay by his wife's side.

Ta Jin-ah said, "For the past two years, I've been almost entirely focused on my wife. I need to administer her medication about 13 times a day." He added, "She lacks the cognitive ability to go to the restroom alone, so I have to change both her diapers and underwear."

He continued, "I hardly have any time for broadcasting or attending distant events. I believe staying by my wife's side is my duty."

It has been seven years since his wife was diagnosed with dementia. Ta Jin-ah explained that her cognitive functions have sharply declined over the past two years.

He stated that even in such difficult circumstances, he continues to pray consistently for his wife. Ta Jin-ah said, "What I'm grateful for is that I can pray anytime and anywhere." He added, "Sometimes she refuses to get up. When that happens, I hold her hand and pray intensely."

Ta Jin-ah shared, "From some point on, I started singing songs like 'Ok-gyeong-i' and others, but I had forgotten many of the lyrics. So I created simple songs for her to remember, and she began memorizing them. Even the doctor said it was wonderful."

Finally, when asked about the practical difficulties of caregiving, he calmly replied, "It's very hard," while adding, "You just have to think of her as a baby."
