Broadcaster Park Mi-sun revealed her condition during her battle with cancer and the one-year treatment process.

On the 29th, a video titled "I worried about broadcasting before even the cancer diagnosis" | Park Mi-sun's story of a year-long battle with illness was released on the YouTube channel "Lee Seong-mi's I Am a Boomer."

On that day, regarding her current health status, Park said, "The most awkward question is 'You are cured now, right?' In reality, it is not a cure; one must continue to undergo tests and manage the condition well, but people just say 'I have gotten healthy.'"

She continued, "They put me in the frame of being a cancer patient, saying this or that about what I do. Even when I am careful, there are times when I get scolded," adding, "I cannot return to the time when I was not sick, but I feel like 'I need to be careful.'"

She candidly shared, "I am eating very healthily and doing well. My numbers have improved compared to before I got sick. I undergo tests once every six months, and it is thrilling when I go to hear the results."

She also said that what came to mind first upon receiving her cancer diagnosis was not her own health, but broadcasting. Park recalled, "In dramas, when you hear news of cancer, it feels like the world is collapsing, and you might throw something. But I am definitely a broadcaster. My first worry was 'What will happen to my broadcasts?'"

She explained, "Too many staff members had to be involved, and there were already recorded segments, so I thought 'What should I do?' I started by thinking about work and worrying about schedule adjustments first. I thought it would be a simple treatment that could pass quietly, but the cancer had metastasized to my lymph nodes, requiring chemotherapy."

Ultimately, she stopped all activities and focused on treatment. Park said, "I immediately sorted everything out and did nothing. I underwent treatment continuously for one year," recalling, "My hair was completely gone, and my face changed so much that I could not do anything. I had no energy and could not even get up. My fingernails and toenails all turned black."

She also revealed an incident where she visited the emergency room due to pneumonia during her treatment. She said, "I contracted pneumonia in the middle of it. It was a dangerous situation, so I went to the emergency room and was hospitalized, then discharged later. It was very dangerous, but at that time, I did not know anything."

She added, "That process takes about one year. Thinking that I could do broadcasting while receiving treatment was a foolish thought."

Having rarely taken a break from broadcasting in her life, she said the unfamiliarity of such a long hiatus was significant. Park stated, "Since my debut, I have only taken a two-month break from broadcasting. I took one month off after giving birth to my first child and one month off after giving birth to my second," sharing, "But when I took a year off, I did not know what to do. I wondered, 'Is it okay to rest like this?'" She smiled and said, "Even amidst that, I went to learn painting and could not just sit still."

Regarding her return through an appearance on tvN's "You Quiz on the Block," she revealed, "But it turned out they were saying I had died. There was a lot of fake news edited as if my funeral had been held," adding, "So I went on broadcasting to report that I was alive."
