Yoon Ji Oh Opens Up About Her Mother's Health And Upcoming Plans

Apr 05, 2019

Yoon Ji Oh has shared new posts with details about her current situation and upcoming plans.

The actress is currently a witness in the Jang Ja Yeon‘s sexual assault case, in which the late actress called out prominent public figures for sexual assault.

On April 4, she posted text messages from her publisher, who revealed that Yoon Ji Oh’s father had told him about the health of her mother. The message shared, “Your mother just had her breast cancer reexamined, and the results came out today. A tumor was found in her left breast. I think you should contact your mother.”

In her first post, Yoon Ji Oh initially hinted that she would be leaving Korea to take care of her mother who is currently battling breast cancer. She shared that her mother had dealt with her illness silently due to Yoon Ji Oh’s situation in Korea and expressed her sorrow at not having been able to take care of her until now.

Her post reads as follows:

Hello.. I really don’t know until what point I have to endure this.. I think I will have to take a break from my book promotions and interviews this week for now.

The judge, prosecutor, and committee investigating past cases have told me that I no longer have to testify with the 16th time being the last.

I have done my share.

The book concert that was prepared because [the book] became a bestseller was canceled because of an unfortunate situation. As the book concert scheduled for April 14 is a promise with you all, I plan to give my last farewell before leaving. I don’t think it’s right to break a promise with you all twice.

It will be free and can accommodate 500 people, in a space provided by the National Assembly. There is a lot going on, so I will make an announcement later on.

My mother has been tougher and greater than anyone to me, but she was suffering without telling me because she was worried that I would worry.

The fact that my mother is sick, I think what has made my mother hurt and sick the most is that I kept going until now, ignoring all those people.

I silently did what I had to do, and now I believe I have to be my mother’s guardian.

Even if I am not in Korea, I will leave after setting up a system that can help, so please do not hate me too much.

And please, pray for my mother even if it is only for a few seconds.

In her second post posted seven hours later, she posted a clip from a broadcast where she washed her mother’s feet and pictures of her preparing her mother’s birthday meal. The post indicates that her mother may be coming to Korea instead.

Though those who are living in Canada may know, one of Canada’s advantages and disadvantages is that surgery fees and hospital fees are completely free to citizens. However, the wait times are too long. Illnesses like cancer have time-sensitive surgeries, so waiting a few months or over a year can be very dangerous. Currently, coming to Korea is the best choice, but as I am her only guardian, and I am currently receiving protection, I am worried that my mother may be put in danger.

There have also been warning signs in my health as well, so I will be admitting myself to the hospital today. When my mother comes, I think the best thing will be for us to stay in the hospital together.

If you even touch my mother, we will all die. I will no longer stay still.

I have a request to you all. Whether or not you are religious, I dare ask for prayers. I believe that if sincere and desperate hearts work together, the universe will help.

I was so happy preparing my mother’s birthday meals every year, and I hope to continue that happiness in the future.

Washing feet isn’t a big deal. My mother always enjoyed watching this video, saying it was one of the biggest presents in the world. She was happy that we were able to make these kinds of memories when we did a family broadcast.

For your parents who poured their entire selves and lives into making your special days into even more special days, you should try washing your parents’ feet.. I can never be as good of a mother as my mother, and I probably will not be as good of a mother as my mother.

But I will still try hard to be a person with a good heart, to show my life as a daughter with at least a beautiful heart.

Please don’t worry too much since I am still strong and healthy enough to write these kinds of things and do broadcasts.

I think the support I have been getting is because people see me as a daughter or neighbor.

In the future, I will protect the things I can with the environment I have been given.

Thank you, thank you, and thank you again.
