Jang Jin-young extends contract

Normally it would be a non-event when a star extends her contract with her management company, but Jang Jin-young‘s case is a bit different, since she recently discovered she had stomach cancer and put a halt to all her acting-related work. Thus news of her new two-year contract with Yedang Entertainment is being taken as a positive sign of her health and an expectation of full recuperation.

A Yedang representative announced the renewal of her contract on the 23rd, explaining that they’d always intended to renew, and “true to her reputation as one of the top actresses in Korea’s film industry, she’s doing her best to make a full recovery.”

The 34-year-old actress of movies like Singles and Between Love and Hate said she will do her best to come back as soon as possible. Currently she is devoting her full attention toward receiving medical treatment.

"true to her reputation as one of the top actresses in Korea’s film industry, she's doing her best to make a full recover"?

Ridiculous way to phrase it. Of course she would. Anyone would. But the fact that she renews her contract means she's optimistic, and for that I'm glad. Too many people depressed with news of cancer. Best of luck.

Dear Dramabeans,

Its my understanding that stomach cancer is a bit like lung cancer and pancreatic cancer.......its not like some types of breast cancer that is treatable. Liver cancers like hepato cellular carcinomas are terminal as well. I'm shocked to hear that her health will be better.

I'm so happy to hear that.
BTW if they discovered the cancer early, it's totally treatable, and they already announced that the cancer was in its first stages.
so good luck for her.
