Comedian Park Mi-sun Returns to Television After 10-Month Cancer Treatment Break
Park Mi-sun Set for Comeback on 'You Quiz on the Block'
Comedian Park Mi-sun is making her return to the spotlight after a 10-month hiatus due to cancer treatment. The beloved entertainer recently completed filming for tvN's popular variety show 'You Quiz on the Block,' marking her first television appearance since stepping away from the industry.
First Broadcast Appearance Since January
According to industry sources on the 30th, Park Mi-sun's episode is scheduled to air in November. The talk show, hosted by Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho, will mark her first television appearance since leaving JTBC's 'Han Moon-chul's Black Box Review' in January. During the recording, she is expected to share updates about her health journey and recent experiences.
Health Battle and Recovery
Earlier this year, Park Mi-sun received an early-stage breast cancer diagnosis during a routine health examination. She subsequently underwent radiation therapy and medication treatment throughout the recovery process.
Her close friend and fellow comedian Jo Hye-ryun previously appeared on 'You Quiz on the Block' on the 15th, sharing encouraging news about Park's condition. Jo revealed that Park had called her saying, "I've completely finished treatment, and I'm grateful for everyone who prayed for me." This update generated significant interest among fans eager to see the comedian return to screens.
Plans for Full-Scale Activity Resumption
Following her 'You Quiz on the Block' appearance, Park Mi-sun is expected to resume regular activities no later than next year. Industry insiders report that she has already received multiple casting offers from various programs.
A broadcasting official told reporters, "It's true that several casting offers have come in following news of her return. However, she's not quite at 100% physically yet, so she won't push herself until the end of the year. After properly recovering, she'll likely begin activities around next year."
Distinguished Career in Entertainment
Park Mi-sun launched her entertainment career in 1998 after winning the gold prize at MBC TV's Gag Contest. She has since established herself across various genres, including variety shows and educational programs. Her impressive portfolio includes appearances on numerous popular shows such as:
- 'Sebakwi'

- 'My Fanta House'
- 'Jojeop-i Pungnyeon'
- 'Goding Eomma'
