After a Papillary Thyroid Cancer Diagnosis, Park So-Dam Undergoes Surgery

According to a statement from her agency, “Parasite” actress Park So-dam has had to undergo surgery for papillary thyroid cancer.

Following a routine health check during which the diagnosis was made, 30-year-old actress Park So-dam has withdrawn from promotional activities for her new film “Special Cargo,” according to an announcement issued by Artist Company. The statement also stated that Park So-dam is still committed to the release of “Special Cargo,” and she will continue to support it.

“As the long-awaited Special Cargo is about to be released, actress Park So-dam is also very sorry for not being able to be with the fans who have waited and supported them,” the agency said, per the Manila Bulletin.

“Thank you once again to all the people who support Special Cargo and actor Park So-dam, and to the actors and crew of Special Cargo who are overcoming difficult situations together.”

“Park So-dam will focus on her recovery so that she can greet you with a healthy image in the future, and Artist Company, her agency, will also do its best to help the actor recover her health,” the statement concluded.

Papillary carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancer. It begins in the cells that line the small, finger-like structures (papillae) on the surface of the thyroid gland.

Papillary carcinoma occurs as a result of radiation exposure and is more common in women before the age of 45.
