Yoo Ara also addressed her absence and the concern it caused among her friends and fans. “I know some of you felt hurt because I was out of touch. It was tough keeping this to myself. I hope you can understand and I appreciate your love and support,” she expressed.
The singer-turned-actress reassured her fans, “Until the end of this year, I’m focusing on not getting stressed and recovering my condition. Please take care of your health and stay safe in the heat.” She concluded, “I know this news might have shocked you, but I just wanted to let you know that I’m doing well. Please don’t worry too much.”
