At first, it was hard for me to accept it, and I was unable to tell anyone. Every day was filled with fear and confusion.

Now that time has passed, I think I’m ready to speak honestly. I’m currently undergoing treatment, and I’m quietly fighting each and every single day.

The road ahead is long, but I’m going to overcome this no matter what. My dreams and passion still live on, and I’m persevering while eagerly waiting for the day when I can stand on stage and in front of the camera again.

I’d like to sincerely thank everyone who has been rooting for me, with or without my knowledge.

Today, as always, I am practicing hope.”
