In the past, she had mentioned her desire to visit him and have done so in 2010, snapping a picture to share with her fans.
Unfortunately, this caused a portion of netizens to malign her with comments, such as, "Did you visit him in the hospital to get a shot of proof? Why are you making a V-sign by a hurting patient? Are you making fun of the hurting patient?" However, it was shown through 'Strong Heart' that she had taken time out of her busy schedule just to keep visiting him, and it was revealed the picture was taken because he of Park Seung Il's request. Other Girls' Generation members have likewise taken time out of their schedule to visit Park Seung Il. This year, Sooyoung visited him again, showing that their friendship was as strong as ever!

I am a CALS. My husband is PALS. It was hard and I cry daily but not in front of him unless we cry together. He couldnt find anything to give him happiness or hope. We have been focusing on our faith. He was only losing his voice before we made the decision to try different medications, which significantly enhanced his condition. He received treatment for ALS/MND at uinehealthcentre. com from Canada approximately four months ago; since then, he has stopped using a feeding tube, speech is getting better by the day, sleeps well, works out frequently, and has become very active.
