Actress Kwon Min-ah, a former member of girl group AOA, criticized W Korea's breast cancer charity event 'Love Your W 2025'.
The sincere appeal felt as a family member of a cancer patient is gaining sympathy from many people. On the 19th, Kwon Min-ah left a lengthy post on her personal account.
He said "My father died of pancreatic cancer, and my sister has been living with anxiety for years with breast cancer. He discovered it in the third phase, underwent major resection surgery, and lost all of his hair through chemotherapy. As a side effect, I gained weight and cost a lot of treatmentSome people think that pancreatic cancer is difficult to treat unless a miracle occurs, but breast cancer is easily treated if it is detected quickly. It's so hard, so sad, and sad just to watch from the side even if you don't have to go through it in person."
Kwon Min-ah then aimed directly at W Korea's breast cancer charity event and said, `If I had truly worried about breast cancer patients and understood their family's feelings, I don't think such a drinking party would have been held. Donations are more important than money, but I was so uncomfortable and distressed to see the name ' breast cancer" attached to the colorful and joyful party photo. "I dare not say anything, but cancer patients and their families are hurt by the smallest things. Please understand, I must say..."
Earlier on the 15th, W Korea held a charity event to commemorate the 20th anniversary of its foundation, a campaign to improve breast cancer awareness 'Love Your W 2025'. Numerous top stars attended the event, but criticism continued that the event site looked more like a 'luxe celeb party' rather than a breast cancer recognition campaign.
As the controversy grew, W Korea issued an official position and apologized. They say that "'Baby Cancer Awareness Improvement Campaign: Love Your W' was an event held to promote the importance of early breast cancer screening, but it is taken seriously because it is pointed out that the composition and progress are not appropriate in light of the purpose. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused."
