Im Eun Sook recently guest starred on Sugar Man 2, where she revealed that she had stage 4 breast cancer. She shed tears as she revealed how it may be the last time she would get to spend time with her members.

“About a month before filming [Sugar Man 2], the cancer spread to my liver so I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to participate in the broadcast.

But I decided to participate in order to keep a promise with my daughter and to create a good memory with my members for the last time.”
