Actor Bae Yoo-ram has captured public attention after bravely revealing that his mother, who battled stage 4 breast cancer, fell victim to a medical treatment scam.

On the March 15th episode of the popular SBS variety show “My Little Old Boy,” viewers were given a glimpse into Bae Yoo-ram’s daily life. The segment highlighted a heartfelt visit to his mother’s restaurant, accompanied by his fellow “Taxi Driver” cast members Lee Je-hoon, Kim Eui-sung, Pyo Ye-jin, and Jang Hyuk-jin.

During the program, Bae Yoo-ram recounted the difficult time when his mother was first diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer, coinciding with the start of his career in the entertainment industry. He explained that honoring his mother’s wishes, the family spent considerable time caring for her as she sought traditional Korean therapies, frequently traveling between Seoul and Wonju, Gangwon Province.

However, things soon took an unexpected and grave turn. Bae revealed, “My mother decided to stay at a hospital for ongoing treatment, but then one day, we suddenly lost contact with her. The hospital called and urgently told us to come because her condition had become critical.” Upon arriving, he was shocked to find his mother barely conscious and unable to recognize him.

Despite rushing her to a major hospital, Bae was confronted with devastating news from the medical staff: “They asked why we arrived so late, explaining the cancer had already advanced to stage 4.” He went on to share his frustration, saying, “It seemed her condition worsened while at the so-called traditional hospital. Just a week later, a news report came out exposing the person who treated her as a fraud.”

Reflecting on the ordeal, Bae commented, “If there were someone like Do-gi, the character played by Lee Je-hoon in ‘Taxi Driver,’ I would have asked him to take care of that person,” alluding to the show’s vigilante justice theme.

Thankfully, Bae’s mother was able to recover her health following proper medical treatment, and she has now been declared completely cured, bringing comfort and relief to the family and viewers alike.
