Well this is disheartening news to hear but the silver lining is that the future looks healthy for K-actor Jang Geun Seok. This weekend he revealed to a news program that he had recently had thyroid cancer surgery, after being diagnosed over a year ago. This would explain why he hasn’t been active during that time. Thyroid cancer if caught early has a very high treatment success rate and surgery isn’t even always necessary so this past year he’s been in treatment until taking this medical step. Wishing him a smooth recovery and return to living life to the fullest, which sounds like he is on his way to doing as he also shared that he will be taking a vacation in two weeks after recuperation is complete.
