Kim Jung-hwa and Yoo Eun-sung: CCM Singer Yoo Struggles with Laryngitis Amidst Brain Cancer Battle
CCM singer Yoo Eun-sung, husband of actress Kim Jung-hwa, shares his struggle with persistent laryngitis while continuing his ministry despite his ongoing battle with brain cancer.
CCM singer Yoo Eun-sung, who previously shared his diagnosis of brain cancer, has revealed that he is facing another difficult period due to laryngitis that has persisted for a month. Even in a situation where his voice is failing him, his confession about continuing his scheduled ministries has drawn both support and sympathy from many.

On the 28th, Yoo Eun-sung shared through his social media, “The laryngitis I caught a month ago has not healed, and the doctor told me that I must stop all my schedules and rest both my speech and my singing.”
He explained the reason why he could not easily cancel his schedule despite his poor physical condition. “Since these ministries were promised six months ago, I simply could not stop them,” he said, adding, “I began my camp ministries last week with a heart full of fear and worry.”
He recalled a special moment, saying, “While struggling to fulfill my schedules with a voice that would not come out, I watched the animation 'David' with the children.”
Yoo Eun-sung stated that he found great comfort in the scenes of the work. “Watching the scene near the end where the people find courage, standing up one by one to shout ‘We can do it!’ and praising, I burst into tears uncontrollably,” he confessed. “It felt as if God was speaking directly to me, making my heart feel soft and moved.”
His greatest difficulty at the moment was his voice. Yoo Eun-sung candidly shared his feelings, stating, “Only a hoarse sound comes out, and because my vocal cords do not close properly, my high notes do not sound pleasant. I had a lot of fear even before starting the camp ministries.”
However, he shared that he regained strength through his faith. “It felt as if He was telling me directly that He knows my heart and that I can do it,” he said. “It felt like He was patting me on the back, saying I did well, I am doing well, and I will do well, so I am finding the courage to step into my place of ministry again today.”
Yoo Eun-sung's post, which contained his determination to continue his role despite the difficult circumstances and his heart of gratitude, touched many people. Fans and netizens are praying for his recovery, sending messages such as “Health comes first,” “I hope you don't overexert yourself,” and “I am rooting for you until the end.”
Yoo Eun-sung married actress Kim Jung-hwa in 2013, and they have two sons. In 2023, he raised widespread concern by personally announcing his brain cancer diagnosis. At that time, Kim Jung-hwa and Yoo Eun-sung shared that they were relying on each other and their faith as a family through the difficult treatment process.
As he goes through this time of fighting the illness and recovering, warm support from the public continues to pour in for Yoo Eun-sung, who has once again shared his health struggles.
