Oh Ji-hyun, who appeared on ‘Monggeul Counseling Office,’ is currently battling ovarian cancer.
On the 18th, a video titled “Ovarian cancer that came to 25-year-old Ji-hyun… From surgery to chemotherapy” was uploaded to the YouTube channel ‘Abo Pichi.’
Oh Ji-hyun’s older sister, Oh Jeong-hyun, said through the video, “We haven’t been able to upload videos frequently recently, and we couldn’t be active on Instagram either. We often received questions like ‘Is something wrong?’ and ‘Are you (Joon) getting along well with Hyuk?’”
She continued, “In fact, a significant incident occurred over the past four months, which brought many changes to our family as well. It seems we have now reached a point where we can speak openly with you all, so I would like to tell the story step by step from the beginning.”
She revealed that Oh Ji-hyun is currently battling ovarian cancer. Oh Jeong-hyun explained the process of discovering the ovarian cancer.
According to her, Oh Ji-hyun had been receiving regular gynecological check-ups annually for about three years. Oh Jeong-hyun said, “(Oh Ji-hyun) has polycystic ovary syndrome and was consistently taking hormone medication. However, last October, we were told that a lump was visible in the ovary.”
She stated, “At the time, she was diagnosed with uterine fibroids, but a test six months later revealed that a large lump had grown. As a result, it was determined to be an ovarian cyst, and she underwent surgery at a university hospital.”
However, cancer was discovered. Oh Jeong-hyun said, “During the initial surgery, the lump in Ji-hyun’s ovary was removed, and a biopsy was performed,” adding, “The biopsy results showed that Ji-hyun had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer.”
Subsequently, Oh Ji-hyun transferred to another hospital and underwent an oophorectomy. Oh Jeong-hyun explained, “The doctor said, ‘Since it has been confirmed as malignant, the ovary containing the cyst must be removed as soon as possible,’” adding, “They also said that chemotherapy must follow immediately.”
Oh Jeong-hyun said, “I heard that unlike other cancers, when ovarian cancer is detected, chemotherapy is often started simultaneously in many cases, regardless of the stage,” continuing, “As a result, Ji-hyun underwent a second surgery to remove one ovary. Tests conducted during the surgery fortunately showed no cancer in the other ovary, so only one ovary needed to be removed.”
Oh Jeong-hyun also revealed Oh Ji-hyun’s current condition. She said, “She had the surgery and began chemotherapy the day before discharge. She received chemotherapy injections every three weeks, and in addition, she frequently received injections such as white blood cell boosters and hormone shots. She visited the hospital often and sometimes went to the emergency room due to pain,” adding, “It is now early October, and Ji-hyun will receive her fifth round of chemotherapy this week, leaving only the final sixth round.”
Meanwhile, the SBS variety show ‘Monggeul Counseling Office,’ which ended in March last year, documented the process of young adults with developmental disabilities who dream of love but lacked opportunities, as they attempted their first romance through coaching by the couple Lee Hyo-ri and Lee Sang-soon.
Oh Ji-hyun, who appeared on ‘Monggeul Counseling Office,’ went on a blind date with Park Jun-hyuk, ultimately choosing him to continue their relationship.
