Due to the personal circumstances of Kang Hee-sun, who played the role of Crayon Shin-chan's mother and Maeng-gu for a long time, it was changed to Soyeon as Crayon Shin-chan's mother and Jeong Yu-jeong as Maeng-gu. Please pay a lot of attention to Shin Chan's mom and Maenggu" posted a notice.

Kang Hee-sun's name was excluded from the voice actor list for Season 25 of 'Crayon Shin-chan', which was previously released on the 25th of last month, causing fans to worry. In particular, voice actor Kang Hee-sun has announced her fight against colorectal cancer in the past, leading some netizens to speculate that she may have dropped out due to health problems.

Earlier in April last year, voice actor Kang Hee-sun appeared on tvN 'You Quiz on the Block' and revealed her fight against colon cancer.

At that time, voice actor Kang Hee-sun "It's been four years since cancer was discovered. There was a problem with the large intestine at the medical examination. Cancer has spread to the liver. There were about 17 liver metastases. He received chemotherapy 47 times. After being sick, I live thinking that 'Today is always the last day'

He said he did not let go of his work even though he was sick. "I once recorded a subway announcement in a hospital room. I recorded it temporarily in the hospital room, and then re-recorded it after chemotherapy"When I am discharged, my voice will not come out that week, and the next week I will." So Crayon Shin-chan went there and recorded, and Crayon Shin-chan kept doing it."

Then, "After the last surgery, I told the producer 'Crayon Shin-chan's mother can't do it." Please change the voice actor. Then the producer said 'Fortunately, I'll put off the program because Shin-chan has something to go out on. Thank you. I couldn't say no to that. So I went and recorded it two months after the surgery. I couldn't wake up for four days because I recorded the theater version for four hours."

Kang Hee-sun, the voice actor, said "At first, I wondered what if the sound was husky and the voice didn't come back because it didn't come out. Four days later, my voice came back and I set a recording time. I was more desperate. If I hadn't been able to survive without Shin-chan when I was sick like this, I thought, "What could I have done without Shin-chan?" "I'm a voice actor, but I really love my job as a voice actor. I think it was possible because I love Shin Chan's mom so much. I had my will, and I also have a sense of duty. (Crayon Shin-chan) was my support"He expressed his special affection for "Crayon Shin-chan can't stop".

When Kang Hee-sun, who loved Shin Chan so much, got out of the car, netizens said, "Be healthy", "Thank you for being my mom and Maenggu", "I hope to see you again in good health.", "I'll miss you, Seong Wu.", "You worked really hard, and I hope to see you in good health."````.

Meanwhile, Kang Hee-sun, who debuted as a voice actor for TBC in 1979, has been participating as a Korean version of the voice actor since 1999.
