[Edaily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] Singer Yang Hee-eun revealed that she underwent a corneal transplant following cancer surgery.

On the 18th, a video titled “Yang Hee-eun’s Shocking Confession: Two Surgeries This Year Alone” was uploaded to the YouTube channel “Kim Young-chul Original.”
On that day, Kim Young-chul visited the café in Buyeo County, South Chungcheong Province, that Yang Hee-eun runs. He greeted her, saying, “Ma’am, since you recently had eye surgery, I came by to check on you.”
Yang Hee-eun joked, “Actually, I had cancer surgery in April and eye surgery in June,” adding, “Miseon and I got together and did the ‘Cancer Strong’ challenge.”
Park Mi-sun had previously revealed that she was battling breast cancer.
In response, Kim Young-chul said, “Don’t just call on Mi-sun—you should call on everyone,” and sang a rewritten version of aespa’s “Next Level,” singing, “Cancer patients next level, after radiation therapy.”
Kim Young-chul said, “Mi-seon liked it. I sang it for her every day.” Yang Hee-eun asked, “Don’t you ever find it hard? Are there times when your energy runs low?” to which Kim Young-chul replied, “There are times when it does.” Yang Hee-eun quipped, “If it never runs low, you wouldn’t be human,” drawing laughter.
Kim Young-chul confided, “I don’t make plans on Sundays. I always spend Sundays alone. People seem to think I like to go out and party in a big group.”
Yang Hee-eun, who identified as an “I” on the MBTI, explained, “Just because my voice is loud and my pronunciation is clear doesn’t mean I’m like that.”
The two continued to draw attention with their close friendship. Recalling the time Yang Hee-eun lost her mother, Kim Young-chul said, “I received a text from Mi-seon at 7:30 a.m. So, after my live broadcast ended at 8:55 a.m., I went to the Dongguk University Funeral Home in Ilsan at 9:30 a.m. But there was no one there.” He continued, “The funeral director looked at me and said, ‘We’re not ready yet. ‘You got here faster than Mom’s portrait.’ I learned a lot about funeral procedures at that time,” he revealed.
Yang Hee-eun explained, “My mother had passed away, but I didn’t know anything. That’s why I told you about it.”
Afterward, Kim Young-chul helped out at Yang Hee-eun’s café, showing himself to be a true “caretaker.”
Previously, a photo of Yang Hee-eun leaning on a cane had been released, causing concern.
