[Edaily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] Comedian Park Mi-sun opened up about the struggles she has faced since battling breast cancer.
On the 31st of last month, a video titled “Why Park Mi-sun Has Considered Kim Young-chul—Who Gets on Her Nerves After Just 30 Minutes—Her Beloved Younger Brother for 25 Years (Cancer Story, Lee Bong-won’s Revelation)” was uploaded to the YouTube channel “Kim Young-chul Original.” During the episode, Park Mi-sun met with her close friend Kim Young-chul and confessed, “I’ve been having one concern lately.” She added, “I didn’t mean to make a big deal out of it—I just wanted to let it pass quietly—but it ended up causing quite a stir unintentionally.” She continued, “With the image of a sick person already attached to me, I’ve been hearing a lot of comments like, ‘You’re sick—why aren’t you resting?’ and ‘You seem like someone who’s obsessed with money.’ But working and knowing there are places that need me makes me feel alive, and I’ve always thought that 60 is just the beginning,” revealing her concerns. Kim Young-chul expressed surprise, saying, “I didn’t think you paid much attention to comments,” to which Park Mi-sun replied, “It actually hurt me. I definitely feel like my heart has grown more sensitive.” Kim Young-chul comforted Park Mi-sun, saying, “There’s no one else like you. You have a truly unique persona. Don’t let the comments get to you.” After being diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer, Park Mi-sun temporarily suspended her broadcasting activities starting early last year, stepping down from her personal YouTube channel as well as shows like JTBC’s *Han Moon-cheol’s Black Box*. Her health has since improved, and she made her return to the screen after a year and a half with the show *Someone Else’s Precious Family*, which aired last April.
