Haha confesses, “When my youngest daughter was diagnosed with the rare Guillain-Barré syndrome, my every day was like hell”
Singer-broadcaster Haha opened up about his feelings when seeing his youngest daughter Ha Song fight Guillain-Barré syndrome.
On April 4th, Haha family members gathered for the first time on ENA’s new entertainment program “Haha Bus” to share their daily lives and talked about his youngest daughter’s illness.
During the show, the production team asked Haha for his thoughts on appearing on a family entertainment program. In response, Haha said, “We received a lot of offers, but we didn’t have the courage to show up on TV programs at that time. A big thing happened to my family in 2022. It was so hard… and I felt like I had lost the world.”
Earlier, Haha’s wife Byul revealed that their youngest daughter Ha Song suffered from Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Explaining the situation at that time, Byul said, “I’m still very cautious when talking about this because I’m afraid that our short struggle will be seen as a noisy thing to families who have been fighting illnesses or taking care of sick members for longer periods.”
She continued, “Song was a healthy and lively kid, but one day she suddenly complained of having a stomachache. We wondered if it was enteritis, but she didn’t have a fever. We still didn’t think she could have another illness even when her pain got so bad that she kept rolling around”. Haha added, “We didn’t even know that there is such a syndrome.”
Byul confessed, “Later, her walking steps started to look weird. When she could no longer walk strongly, Song was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome. I had never heard of it before. Out of confusion, I wondered, ‘Does it make sense? It suddenly happens one day…’”
In addition, Haha said, “You know I have to do entertainment shows, right? The situation at home was like that, I felt like losing the whole world and the meaning of living but still had to look funny on the screen. My every day was like hell. I couldn’t laugh, but I had to make other people laugh. It was so difficult that my heart kept pounding and I couldn’t stand still.”
