Kim Woo Bin opened up about his experience with nasopharyngeal cancer in a heartfelt interview.

On September 16th, the Shin Dong Yeop's YouTube channel shared a video featuring Kim Woo Bin and Kim Sung Kyun. During the conversation, host Shin Dong Yeop brought up Kim Woo Bin's cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Shin Dong Yeop said, "You're someone who doesn’t show pain, so it shocked me when you were diagnosed with cancer. After losing my mother, I learned how tough chemotherapy and radiation therapy can be. How did you get through that difficult time?"

Kim Woo Bin shared, "I've always been optimistic, finding something good in every situation. But when the doctor told me, 'At worst, you might only have 6 months,' it felt like a scene from a drama. I was so shocked and scared, hoping it was all a bad dream."

He added, "But I never thought, 'What if I can't beat this?' Instead, I saw it as an opportunity. As I went through treatment, I realized I hadn’t taken a break in 10 years since my debut. So, I used this time to reflect and focus on myself."

He continued, "The physical pain is the same for everyone, but I was lucky to have so much support from people who prayed for me. I truly believe that helped me recover quickly. Even the doctors were surprised by how fast I was healing. I keep that feeling with me, so it doesn’t fade."

Kim Woo Bin also shared how his experience changed him. "I want to give the prayers I received back to others. Every night before bed, I pray for miracles for other families. I’ve also become more open with my parents. "

He added, "It took courage to express my feelings to them, even though they’re the closest people to me. I also make sure to give them a good amount of spending money," he said with a smile.

ITZY's Yuna opened up about her childhood, her school days, and even the surprising secret behind her perfectly shaped head in a fun and heartwarming video.

On April 30, Yuna appeared in a new video on the YouTube channel "You Nani Bit Ina", where she visited her old middle school. Standing in front of the building, Yuna smiled and said, “This is the middle school I went to when I was younger. Well, it was five years ago, so not that long ago.”

She shared a fun memory, saying, “I came back once after graduating because I kept in touch with one of the teachers. All the teachers came out to greet me, and the students were so excited!”

When asked if she was popular back in school, Yuna gave an honest and funny answer. “I don’t think there were any boys’ schools nearby. "

She added, "And when I was in elementary school, boys liked girls who were quiet, cute, and sweet. But I was loud and outgoing, so I wasn’t their type. Back then, boys didn’t really like girls who were too pretty—they preferred someone more plain and simple.”

Later in the video, while filming at a local snack shop, Yuna got a surprise visit from her mom. Shocked, Yuna asked, “Why did you come without saying anything?”

Her mom sweetly revealed that Yuna had always dreamed of being on TV. Yuna added, “I never thought I’d be an idol. I imagined maybe I’d be a show host, an announcer, or even a pretty comedian.”

When asked when she realized Yuna had grown up, her mom said, “After she debuted, she always asked me for feedback. But eventually, she started making her own choices, and that’s when I knew she had grown up. At first, I was even worried about her hand gestures and facial expressions.”

Yuna chimed in, “My mom used to tell me I was doing too much when she watched my fancams.” Her mom smiled and said, “Isn’t Yuna the prettiest when she’s natural? I think she’s slowly learning that on her own.”

Then came the cutest story of the day—Yuna talked about how her head shape became so perfect. “When I was a baby, my mom would lay me down at different angles to make my head round—like using a protractor.”

Yuna laughed. Her mom looked a bit embarrassed but admitted, “I tried that with my first child too, but I started too late—around two months after birth. With Yuna, I started right away.”

Yuna then proudly pointed to her head and said, “Mom’s touch!” making everyone laugh.

Fans were touched by Yuna’s honest and playful personality, and many praised the sweet bond between her and her mom.
