Hello, this is Yoo Ara. I hope you’re doing well. I’m writing this because I’m afraid some people may think I am dead… Suddenly, I started feeling often tired, and my health deteriorated. I took some tests on a whim and received a cancer diagnosis. I was advised to undergo surgery immediately, and I have since had the procedure and am currently recovering while medicated. I feel significantly better now. As you may have noticed, it was challenging to reach me, and I apologize for any disappointment this caused. I am hoping that those close to me and my supporters will understand. My focus for this year is to stay stress-free and to recuperate fully. Please look after your health, stay warm, and be cautious of the summer heat. I will try my best to share updates with you more often.
