Comedian Park Mi-sun said she wants to die without a long illness, in remarks reported by Korean outlets after her treatment for breast cancer. She made the comments on Oct. 6 on the YouTube channel ‘이성미의 나는 꼰대다’, where she and Lee Hong-ryul appeared as guests and talked about ageing and the end of life. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
According to Maeil Business, Park recalled her time in hospital and said that seeing many ill people changed her thinking about what parents can do for their children. She said it struck her that being healthy herself is the way to help her children, rather than leaving them something behind. [ 2 ]
She said she was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2024, that lymph node metastasis was confirmed and that she received chemotherapy, the outlet reported. Chosun Ilbo and Maeil Business both reported that she said she had undergone chemotherapy 16 times; on MBC’s ‘라디오스타’ she described it as treatment meant to save her life that felt like dying, Maeil Business reported. [ 1 , 2 ]
On the same channel last month, she said the hardest question is being asked whether she is now cured, according to Maeil Business. She said she is not cured but must keep managing her health, and that she receives bone scans and full-body scans every six months, telling herself after good results that she has six more months. [ 2 ]
She also said her husband, Lee Bong-won, comforted her when she told him of the diagnosis, telling her it would be all right and that he was there for her, and that the couple now get along “like newlyweds”, Maeil Business reported. [ 2 ]
Por qué importa
The remarks come from a well-known Korean comedian speaking publicly about cancer treatment and end-of-life wishes, a subject that draws wide attention in Korean entertainment coverage. The documents give no policy or medical consequence, so the significance stays limited to her personal disclosure and the public discussion it may prompt.
