In an Instagram post, Alexander narrated the condition of his father in Korea.
He said, "Last week was a very hectic week for me. Yup, ‘My Korean Jagiya’ had a one week break so I went back to Korea. Meanwhile, my parents were in Korea too for a body check-up. Unfortunately, out of our surprise, a very big surprise, we found that my dad had tumors in his liver. After doing further check-up, my dad was diagnosed with stage 3 liver cancer. (Pretty bad yea.)"
Alexander mentioned this is the reason why he isn't active on social media for the past couple of days.
"Needed to cope with the situation and spend time with my family cuz even my sister urgently flew in to Korea. HOWEVER, we really thank God because the situation is NOT that bad. Doctors found that my dad’s cancer did not spread anywhere; cancer cells remained only at the liver."
The actor also shared a testimony from his account.
"1. My dad suddenly did an unplanned body check-up. If it was later, not sure if he would have survived.
2. I suddenly had a break to go back to Korea, when this sudden event happened.
3. Even with 2 large tumors (one was 10cm), my dad managed to get treatment (chemoembolisation) and is slowly recovering, even though chemo makes him really weak and in pain."
He added that he praised the Lord's perfect timing for everything that is happening and reminded his followers to trust in His plans.
"In conclusion, I just wanna praise the Lord for the perfect timing. Our family is so blessed to have many relatives/friends supporting us especially in prayers. Life is short, and sh*t does happen. But I want u guys to know that everything really happens for a reason, and there is always something that God wants you to learn. As for my family, we learnt not to take each other for granted and to cherish each other more. Whatever sh*t you are facing in life now or even later in life, yes, u might be sad, angry, wind or grind or get emotional, that’s normal. But remember, always keep the faith n trust in the Lord’s big picture."
