In his heartfelt post, Cha Hyun Seung shared how his life changed dramatically in June. “In early June, I was rushed to the emergency room, and my life came to a halt in the blink of an eye,” he wrote.
At the time, he was chasing his dreams, having just cleared final auditions for multiple projects. But the leukemia diagnosis forced him to stop everything he had been working for.

Now, Cha says he feels ready to share his journey. He is undergoing treatment and fighting the disease quietly, day by day. Despite the challenges, he remains determined to overcome leukemia and return to the stage and screen.
“The road ahead is long, but I’m going to overcome this no matter what,” he wrote. “My dreams and passion still live on.”
He also thanked his fans and supporters for their encouragement, whether he knew about it or not. Cha promised that he will come back stronger and warmer, holding onto hope every day.
