KARA's Park Gyuri appeared on the recent recording of SBS Star Junior Show with her mother, Park So Hyun. Through the show, Park So Hyun revealed that she had been suffering severe stomach pains and thought she had cancer. While the parents were expressing the times that they've felt sorry for their children, Park So Hyun shared:

"During Gyuri's trainee years, she went through a lot after the company (that she used to be in) went out of business. Adding onto her broken heart, I thought I contracted cancer" "I was weak and in pain due to stomach pains, and I wasn't able to fully express my feelings for her while she was busily preparing to become a singer. I eventually wrote a parting letter for her (filled with her last words for Gyuri she passes away)" "It was essential for my family to get their hearts ready for the moment. But in the end, I was diagnosed to be suffering from stomach ulcers instead of cancer."
