In the upcoming October 16 episode of KBS 2TV’s “Problem Child in House”, the guest lineup features real-life couple Park Si Eun and Jin Tae Hyun. During the show, Yang Se Chan shared a heartfelt moment with Jin Tae Hyun, bonding over their shared experience with thyroid cancer.
Yang surprised everyone when he revealed, “I’m still taking medication,” after congratulating Jin on his full recovery. He then disclosed that he had been diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer 12 years ago.
“I found out during a group medical check-up with other comedians,” he recalled. “We were rehearsing for Comedy Big League when I got the call.”
Yang went on to describe how his colleagues helped him stay positive at the time: “There was no time to be sad. My friends tried to lift my spirits, jokingly saying, ‘He has cancer! Yeah, cancer~!’ It was their way of comforting me, and it really helped.”
He also pointed out fatigue as one of the early symptoms of thyroid cancer, agreeing with Jin Tae Hyun’s experience:
“After surgery, I stopped feeling constant exhaustion,” Jin said, explaining that he used to struggle through afternoons. Yang replied, “Exactly! I once slept for 10 hours straight and still felt tired. My body was sending warning signals.”
Yang then shared a lighthearted moment about his post-surgery habits:
“After my operation, I tried to maintain a healthy diet for six months,” he said. “But one day, I suddenly found myself eating spicy seafood rice soup again,” he caused laughter as he added.
The candid exchange between Yang Se Chan and Jin Tae Hyun gave viewers a glimpse into their resilience and sense of humor in the face of illness, showing how laughter and camaraderie can help one overcome life’s toughest challenges.
