My Thoughts

I am glad that they prioritize the sweet Yoo Jung’s health first. In many cases, kdrama actresses would delay their treatment to accommodate the shooting.

She is still young and it can become a serious problem, its best to wait and see how things go. I wish the cutie all the best~ get well soon Kim Yoo Jung. We will wait for you!
