Cha Hyun-seung, a former Sunmi dancer, is battling leukemia. 'My skin is peeled off and my numbers are not going up.'
Actor and dancer Cha Hyun-seung (34) has revealed his recent condition of fighting leukemia.

On the 11th, a video titled 「Chah Hyun-seung ChaHyunSeung" was posted on the channel \'A day of leukemia patients'.

The video showed Cha Hyun-seung's day in hospital and receiving treatment.




Cha Hyun-seung's wake-up time is 5:30 a.m. As he waited for his morning treatment, he relaxed his body with a simple stretch.

After receiving basic tests such as blood collection, blood pressure, and body temperature measurement from a nurse, Cha Hyun-seung, who took medicine before meals and finished breakfast, also showed his skinned hands on the camera. He said "This is how the skin keeps peeling off and then getting better."

Cha Hyun-seung raises a 'nure and drinking water record sheet' and writes it down every day. You have to check every day." Cha Hyun-seung wrote down the amount of nurungji, water, and milk he ate this morning.




And anemia, white blood cells, neutrophils, and platelet levels were checked.

Cha Hyun-seung said "Honjung-gu has to go up, but I can't catch it. It should be at least 1,000." His neutrophil levels were in the 200s. Neutrophils account for the largest proportion of white blood cells, and are important immune cells that defend against infection and respond to tissue damage.

After lunch, I warmed up by doing a light bare exercise. He also said, `If you lie down too much, your condition will rather deteriorate.'




Lastly, Cha Hyun-seung "My day is like this these days. I'll try my best to recover"I didn't know I'd receive so much support for the first time in announcing what I've been up to. Thank you very much."

Meanwhile, Cha Hyun-seung made his name known as singer Sunmi's backup dancer and drew attention for his performance on the water bomb stage in 2018. Since then, he has attracted public attention by appearing in the entertainment show Physical: 100 and Solo Hell. He began his acting career in 2024, and on the 27th of last month, he disclosed the fact that he was fighting leukemia through his personal account, saying, "My life stopped in an instant. But I will definitely overcome it."
