Rumors of breast cancer swirled about Park Mi-sun, now recovered — welcome update… is she slowly gearing up for a comeback?
The entertainer Park Mi-sun, who had suspended broadcasting activities for a while due to deteriorating health, has surfaced with news that delighted fans. Recent reports from fellow comedian Jo Hye-ryeon and actress Seon Woo-yong-yeo saying "she's now cured" have drawn attention to the possibility of her return.
Recently the YouTube channel "Shun and company" released a video titled "The last words left to Jo Hye-ryeon before the late Jeon Yoo-seong's passing." In the video Jo Hye-ryeon shed tears while talking about the late Jeon Yoo-seong and said, "At that time Mi-sun unni was not in good health so she was resting from broadcasts. Even so, she visited the hospital to pay respects as a senior. She is a really loyal unni," expressing her respect for Park Mi-sun.
The news that Park Mi-sun, who had fulfilled her duties as a junior, has recovered is welcome. It was also mentioned on the Oct. 15 broadcast of tvN's You Quiz on the Block. Jo Hye-ryeon said, "I talked about unni on the radio and too many articles came out so I was sorry. But unni contacted me directly and said, 'I'm okay now,'" and conveyed Mi-sun's full recovery.
Jo Hye-ryeon also said, "Not long ago Mi-sun unni contacted me. She said, 'My treatment is completely finished, and I recovered thanks to your prayers,'" and choked up. She added, "I felt we are not just colleagues but family," conveying their close friendship.
Meanwhile, the preview for the SBS variety show "My manager is way too picky for me - the secretaries" is drawing attention again. A scene at the end of the broadcast showed Lee Kyung-sil calling Park Mi-sun, and Park Mi-sun's voice saying, "Mom, it's Mi-sun. I'm sorry I couldn't go with you," was heard, moving viewers. Just hearing her voice after a long time brought tears to fans' eyes.
Until now Park Mi-sun had halted all broadcast activities amid reports she was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. Her agency cautiously released a statement saying, "The exact diagnosis is personal medical information so it is difficult to disclose, but it is true she is focusing on recovering her health." However, testimony from several colleagues and the voice heard directly have essentially confirmed the news that she is "recovered and recovering."
Netizens have offered heartfelt support, saying things like, "Hearing Park Mi-sun's voice made me cry," "I missed that smiling face so much," "I'm relieved she has recovered," "I want to see her on broadcasts again soon," and "Health is most important, so I hope she returns slowly." Known as the "mother" of the national sitcom and for delivering warm laughter for many years, Park Mi-sun's fans now eagerly await the day she returns to the stage with a bright smile following news of her recovery.
Meanwhile, earlier on the tvN STORY Chuseok special "Who ordered Shin Dong-yup's coffee? The Soonpoong family," welcome news about Park Mi-sun was shared. At a reunion of the main cast of the national sitcom "Soonpoong Obstetrics and Gynecology" after 25 years, Seon Woo-yong-yeo said, "I saw Mi-sun a few days ago and she is much better. She's completely recovered now," reassuring everyone. Given the moving reflections, attention is also focused on Park Mi-sun's potential comeback.
