INFINITE's Woohyun opens up about battle with rare cancer on 'Jaefriends'

AKP STAFF

INFINITE's Woohyun opened up about his battle with cancer.

On the April 4th episode of Jaejoong's YouTube series 'Jaefriends', Woohyun featured as a guest and talked about his battle with a gastrointestinal stromal tumor. He shared, "At first, I underwent a test, and there was something in my body. Two years later, they told me I needed to get an operation at a big hospital."

When Jaejoong showed worry, Woohyun said, "I had a hard time until recently, but I've recovered a lot." He added, "I underwent surgery as soon as I moved agencies, so I felt sorry to the company too. I was afraid all my plans would be destroyed because of me."

Woohyun shared his mental struggles were harder than being physically ill, but he then explained, "Fortunately, the follow-up examination recently showed that I healed well." 

Watch Jaejoong's interview of Woohyun above, and make sure to turn on the English captions.

Woohyun is such an inspiration. He wasn't even fully healed when infinite made their comeback and then he released a solo album and went on tour. He's amazing and so strong. So glad to hear he's recovered well.
