Read her post below:
"Hello. This is Yoo Ara
How are you all doing? I'm writing this letter because I think a lot of people think that I died or something.
There have been many times when I felt tired and unwell. By chance through an examination, I found out that it was due to cancer. I was also diagnosed with the need for surgery, and urgently, I went through it to remove the malignant tumor, I took medicine, and rested as well (I can say I'm getting a lot better now).
Some people who knew, but there were also people who couldn't contact me and felt very sad, so I suffered a lot of heartache by myself. I would be so grateful if everyone I know and loves me would understand.
So far this year, I'm going to try my best to get back in shape and not stress myself out as much as possible.
Please, don't get sick, and always take care of your health!
Watch out closely for the heat. I will try to post updates often. Have a good night.
P.S. You might be really surprised by this news, but I didn't write this to worry you, and I just want to tell you that I'm doing well. Don't worry too much."
Fans extended their supportive and heartwarming comments for Yoo Ara:
- "Courage, my queen. You are very strong."
- "Unnie, it's been a long time. Thank you for hanging in there. I wish you a speedy recovery! I love you."
- "Please be healthy, take your time to rest and it's okay to go M.I.A for a while. Don't rush and have your own time."
- "Ara, thank you so much for telling us I will pray for you to stay healthy. You are a strong and beautiful woman."
- "Get well soon unnie, I can't write it in Korean but the one thing that you need to know is you are such an incredible person."
- "Wishing you well with your health recovery. Thank you so much for hanging in there."
Wishing Yoo Ara a speedy recovery.
