She disclosed, “I have always been exhausted and not in the best condition. During one of the checkups, I learned that I had cancer.”

She then assured her fans, “I was told that I needed surgery, so I had an emergency operation to remove the malignant tumor. I’m taking medicine and resting. I’m getting much better now.”

Below is the full text of Yoo Ara’s Instagram post.

Hello, this is Yoo Ara.

You’ve all been well, right?

I feel like a lot of you might have thought I am actually dead (so I’m writing this post).

For a long time, I have always been exhausted and not in the best condition.

During a checkup, I learned that I have cancer.

I was told that I needed surgery, so I had an emergency operation to remove the malignant tumor.

I’m taking medicine and resting. I’m getting much better now.

Some people already know this, but many people were upset because I was not as responsive and it also hurt me.

I would be so grateful if my friends and all those who love me could understand.

I’m going to try my best to minimize my stress and get healthy.

Everyone, please don’t get sick, and always take care of your health! Be careful of the heat.
I will try to share updates more often.

Have a good night.
