Former Hello Venus‘s Yoo Ara revealed that she had been diagnosed with cancer.
On June 11, the idol shared the news on her Instagram. Yoo Ara’s full post is translated below.
Hello, this is Yoo Ara. I hope you’re well. I’m writing this because I’m afraid some people may think I am dead… All of a sudden, I was often tired, and my condition had worsened. By chance, I took a test, and I was diagnosed with cancer. I was told I needed surgery, so we had an emergency procedure, and I am now recuperating while taking medicine. I’ve gotten much better. As some of you may know, it wasn’t easy getting in contact with me. I felt so bad because some people were disappointed. I hope that those around me and those who love me will understand. I am going to do my best not to be stressed and recuperate this year. I hope you guys stay healthy and always beware of the cold! Be careful of the summer heat, and I will do my best to update you guys often.
