Actress Park So Dam made her first public appearance since her thyroid cancer surgery. 

On December 19th, the actress made her first public appearance since her thyroid cancer surgery for her film 'Phantom' press conference. On this day she shared, "I felt bad because it seemed I caused concerns for many people. I always tell my fans to stay healthy both mentally and physically, and it felt like I couldn't keep my promise."  

She continued, "Last year at this time, I lost my voice and I was in bed after surgery. This year's holiday season is very different from the last year's. I am so happy that I can greet you all healthy and well. To be honest, I'm so nervous that my hands are getting sweaty but I'm happy to see other casts and the director again. It feels like a new start." 

Meanwhile, 'Phantom' will hit theaters on January 18th, 2023.
