Park So-dam Reveals Lee Jeong-eun's Midnight Support During Cancer Battle: "I'll Be Good to Her My Whole Life"
Acclaimed actress Park So-dam (박소담) debuted in 2013 with the film No More, No Less. She gained recognition through the drama Beautiful Mind and built a strong filmography with works like Madam Bwang, The Silenced, Veteran, The Throne, and The Priests. In 2019, she achieved global fame for her role as Kim Ki-jung, the fake art therapist living in a semi-basement, in Bong Joon-ho's Parasite. Her natural yet powerful performance left a lasting impression on audiences worldwide.
However, at the peak of her career, Park was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer at age 31. She revealed in an interview that the diagnosis caused immense physical and mental stress. Her voice also changed, leading her to question if she could continue acting and even contemplate retirement. After three years of treatment and recovery, she officially returned to the screen with the film Phantom.
On May 27, during the production press conference for the film Gyeongju Journey, Park spoke emotionally about the meticulous care she received from her Parasite co-star Lee Jeong-eun (이정은) during her cancer recovery. She shared that Lee not only cared for her like a mother but even rushed to her home in the early hours of the morning just to talk and listen to her pour out her heart. Deeply moved, Park exclaimed, "I will be good to her my whole life."
Gyeongju Journey tells the story of four mothers who embark on a path of revenge eight years after their youngest daughter, Gyeongju, never returned from a graduation trip. Lee Jeong-eun plays Ok-sil, a mother who lost her youngest daughter and waited eight years for revenge, while Park So-dam portrays her second daughter, Young-joo.
The two actresses, who previously worked together on Parasite, are reuniting after several years, this time portraying a mother and daughter. Lee Jeong-eun chuckled as she recalled filming Parasite, saying, "Every time I saw Park So-dam, I couldn't help but want to hit her because she kept trying to kick me out of the house." Her playful remark drew laughter from the audience.

實力派演員朴素丹於2013年憑藉電影《多也不多少也不少》出道出道，並在《格鬥青春》中嶄露頭角。之後參演《布拉芙夫人》、《京城學校：失蹤的少女們》、《老手》、《思悼》、《黑祭司》等多部作品，廣受好評。2019年憑藉奉俊昊執導的電影《寄生上流》飾演住在半地下室的美術系準備生金基婷，以藝術治療師的專業形象與騙術高手般的演技，聲名大噪。 朴素丹近日在節目中首度深談自己31歲確診甲狀腺癌時的心路歷程。她坦言，當時不僅身心承受巨大壓力，更因聲音出現變化，一度懷疑自己是否還能繼續當演員，甚至萌生放棄演藝事業的念頭。 朴素丹日前出演TV CHOSUN節目《食客許英萬的白飯紀行》，與漫畫家兼美食家許英萬一同走訪京畿道楊平地區的特色餐廳，在自然風光中分享人生故事。 節目中，許英萬提及朴素丹年僅31歲就罹患癌症一事，不捨地表示：「一般以為癌症是年紀大了才會發生，沒想到妳這麼年輕就遇上了。」談到突如其來的病魔，朴素丹坦言當時非常害怕，也經歷了前所未有的心理變化。她回憶表示：「我真的很害怕，甚至開始覺得奇怪，心想『我明明不是這樣的人，為什麼突然變得不想見任何人？』」 對於演員而言，最讓她感到恐懼的，是手術後聲音出現變化。朴素丹透露：「那時候真的會想，我還能繼續當演員嗎？因為演員必須能夠詮釋各種不同角色與人生，但我當時整個人都變得非常退縮。」 她坦言，直到走過那段低潮期後，才真正開始認識自己，也重新思考人生的方向。幸運的是，朴素丹並沒有被病痛擊倒。經過長達3年的治療與休養後，她透過電影《幻影》正式復出，再次站回演員的位置。 而這場大病，也讓她的人生觀徹底改變。朴素丹表示，手術結束後，她突然萌生一個念頭：「想去做一些以前從來沒做過的事情。」 於是她獨自展開一場長達34天的歐洲旅行。她透露，自己前往冰島追極光，還租車自駕旅行近一個月，挑戰過去從未嘗試過的生活方式。 旅途中也發生一段讓她至今難忘的暖心插曲。當時因輪胎胎壓出現問題，她前往當地修車廠求助，工作人員得知她是一個人旅行後，不僅熱情協助，還免費幫她完成維修。朴素丹感性表示：「他們對我說『祝妳好運』，然後沒有收任何費用，那份善意讓我非常感動。」 回憶起在冰島看見極光的那一刻，她也忍不住感慨：「如果當初沒有生病，我會有勇氣挑戰這些事情嗎？」她認為，雖然疾病曾帶來痛苦與恐懼，但也讓自己有機會重新認識人生。朴素丹說：「那些經歷讓我變得更堅強，也塑造了現在的我。」 從確診甲狀腺癌、擔心失去演員身分，到重新找回人生方向與表演熱情，朴素丹的真誠告白，也讓不少觀眾深受感動。
