Previously, Jang Geun Suk made headlines in August 2024 when he revealed that he had been battling thyroid cancer. The actor has now revealed how the disease changed him. "I started to treat myself more carefully," he said.
Jang Geun Suk admitted that he finally quit smoking. "I tried to avoid things that were bad for my health, and I naturally quit smoking. The pain I went through made me stronger," said the actor. Jang Geun Suk then revealed his ambitions after being diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
"To be honest, I have personal ambitions. It may sound arrogant, but I want to earn more money," said the star of the drama "The Royal Gambler". Jang Geun Suk added, "I've received so much love, and I want to give back to the people who have given it to me.
I have a dream of starting a charity, and I'm currently studying it." Jang Geun Suk said his diagnosis was a turning point in his outlook. "I once made a large donation of about 1.2 billion won to Hanyang University. I wanted to help younger students study better," he said.
Jang Geun Suk explained the moment of donating in more detail. "Because Hanyang University is my former school, I went to the hospital there. There, I saw my name on the donor list and ended up undergoing surgery in very good condition," he said.
Jang Geun Suk realized the importance of giving donations. "At that time, I realized that the kindness you give really does come back to you. It felt like a rule set by the universe. It made me think more seriously about giving."
Jang Geun Suk added, "From now on, I will work harder and make more money so that I can give back to more people. I know some people may feel uncomfortable and say, 'He's still greedy or showing off,' but I'm not afraid of criticism, I will keep my word."
