Trot singer Jung Mi-ae, who was diagnosed with the 3rd stage of tongue cancer, confessed the reason why she did not disclose her battle with the disease.
In the second part of KBS 1TV’s ‘Human Theater’ broadcast on the 31st of last month, ‘Singer Jung Mi-ae Restart’, Jung Mi-ae said, “(The reason for not disclosing the fact that she fought the disease) was because she was a celebrity? not. It was because she was so closely related to the song. She had a useless ego,” he confessed.
‘Human Theater’ depicts the process of Jung Mi-ae, who had been inactive for a while after being diagnosed with tongue cancer in the 3rd stage, having part of her tongue removed, fighting severe aftereffects and starting to go on stage again.
On this day’s broadcast, Jung Mi-ae’s appearance at a makeup shop before going on stage was covered. Jung Mi-ae looked at her own face in the mirror and said, “(Her face) both sides are different,” examining her distorted face after fighting her illness.
Jung Mi-ae, who had a third of her tongue removed through a major eight-hour surgery after being diagnosed with tongue cancer in the third stage, had an imbalanced face in the aftermath. In addition, it is said that the immunity and stamina are weakened, and even a little tiredness causes facial stiffness.
Jung Mi-ae rose to stardom in the 2019 TV Chosun ‘Miss Trot’ season 1, taking second place after Song Ga-in, who took first place. In the midst of her vigorous activities, she suddenly announced her 2021 cessation of her activities. At the time, she did not report the news of her fight against tongue cancer, so various rumors spread. Then, through this ‘Human Theater’, she first revealed her battle with the disease. The Jung Mi-ae episode of ‘Human Theater’ is a 5-part series. It will be broadcast at 7:50 am until the 3rd.
