Actress Kim Ye-ryeong opens up about thyroid cancer and three surgeries

During an appearance on TV CHOSUN's Perfect Life on the 28th, actress Kim Ye-ryeong revealed she has undergone three major surgeries over three years and is currently battling thyroid cancer.

On the TV CHOSUN program Perfect Life, airing today (28th) at 8:00 PM, actress Kim Ye-ryeong will confess to the health crises she faced through consecutive surgeries and a battle with cancer.

Appearing on Perfect Life, Kim Ye-ryeong shared the distressing story of undergoing three major surgeries over a three-year period. Following tumor removal surgeries, she was also diagnosed with thyroid cancer, leading her to express anxiety by stating, "I am worried whether another tumor might develop this year." When MC Hyun Young asked about the warning signs of her cancer, Kim recalled that she initially dismissed the symptoms, thinking, "I thought I was just becoming sensitive and unable to sleep due to being tired while filming a production."

During the episode, Kim Ye-ryeong's daughter visits her home, having carefully prepared side dishes and restorative meals that her mother enjoys. While attempting to put the food in the refrigerator, the daughter noted that "the inside of the refrigerator is empty" and immediately began a thorough inspection. When soy sauce that was nearly a year past its expiration date was discovered, Kim drew laughter by confidently responding, "Soy sauce is a fermented food, so it's fine." The program will reveal this tense "refrigerator inspection" between a daughter trying to look after her mother's health and a Kim Ye-ryeong who refuses to back down.

Additionally, the behind-the-scenes details of Kim Ye-ryeong's touching 60th birthday celebration, which she celebrated this year, will be revealed. Kim shared photos of the elaborately decorated party, saying, "When I went home, my daughter had prepared a surprise 60th birthday party." When comedian Lee Seong-mi remarked, "It must have brought you to tears," Kim expressed her overwhelming emotion, saying, "I was so thankful and moved." In particular, Kim could not hide her satisfaction, noting that her elementary school-aged grandchildren had pooled their pocket money to gift her cosmetics.

The daily life of actress Kim Ye-ryeong, ranging from health concerns to the warm love of her daughter and grandchildren, can be seen on TV CHOSUN's Perfect Life today (28th) at 8:00 PM.
