Sandeul bursts into tears on ‘Strong Heart’ thinking about his grandfather
B1A4‘s Sandeul burst into tears on the January 15th installment of ‘Strong Heart‘.
On the show, Kim Jung Hwa talked about her mother who passed away due to cancer. While listening to her story, Sandeul had shed tears, and the MCs asked what was wrong. Sandeul had to take a moment to compose himself, and he had a hard time confessing, “My maternal grandfather has cancer, but he can’t even get surgery“, revealing that the cancer was untreatable.
He continued, “But my grandfather doesn’t even know he has cancer. He can’t get surgery, and he’s such a cheery person that we thought it was best not to tell him, so we haven’t. Everyone in our family pretends they don’t know anything.”
Even after he was done, he couldn’t stop crying. MC Shin Dong Yup tried to make him feel better by joking about their upcoming topic, but in the end he couldn’t stop crying and actor Park Shin Yangsuggested they take a break from filming before they continue.
Baro shares emotional story of his younger sister on ‘Strong Heart’
B1A4‘s Baro shared an emotional story of his younger sister.
On the January 15th episode of ‘Strong Heart‘, Baro revealed, “I have a little sister who is 4 years younger than me. She turns 18 this year. This happened when I was in middle school and she was in elementary school. There was a time when my father’s business didn’t work out, so our family was going through a difficult time.”
He continued, “One day as my parents fought, I heard that men would come in and start labeling our possessions so they could take it to repay our debts.” He confessed that there was time when his parents were out working, men started to come in their home and his sister started to cry because she was so shocked, but that he couldn’t do anything because he was just as shocked.
He confessed, “I should have gone out to comfort my sister, but I was scared too. After they were done, my sister was still crying, but if I went out (of my room) right away, I thought she’d realize I was actually not asleep, so I just kept pretending to be asleep. I cried under my blanket and thought to myself that I would help rebuild our family. My sister gives me strength now“.
He also revealed that his sister hadn’t told anyone in her school that her brother was a member in B1A4. When he asked her why, she had replied, “If I do something wrong, you’ll get hurt because of it“, touching the hearts of everyone in the studio.

Date: 2013-01-17 05:39 am (UTC)Sometimes she'd have a moment of clarity saying things like "I'm in God's waiting room, aren't I?" but then she'd talk about something else that happened 15 years ago like it was yesterday.
It was really hard for our family.
We could've told her but she would forget - can you imagine being unable to remember you were terminal with cancer and being told over and over again that it would happen?
And what about the family who have to tell their loved one multiple times?
I don't think the situation is just "he's an old man so we feel bad telling him", especially when it was broadcast on TV - there's got to be an underlying situation there, otherwise he'd find out through the news coverage.

I doubt this story is even true tbh

Date: 2013-01-17 05:28 am (UTC)I've personally seen how that news can break a person down and they end using their time left worrying about the end and what will happen to everyone after they're gone. That worry is something that shouldn't have to plague them in the last few moments here. They should live their days happy and fulfilled not focusing on he negative stuff. I say let the worry and those burdens be on those who will carry on. They can carry those responsibilities and eventually they will heal.
So those of you who are saying it's mean of them not to tell him need to really take the time to understand their situation before passing judgement.

Date: 2013-01-17 05:43 am (UTC)my family never told my grandma she had pancreatic cancer. she knew she had some kind of disease, for sure (impossible not to considering the effects on her body and surgery), but we never directly told her she had cancer. we dealt with everything for her and it didn't help that there were family issues going on that we had to keep from her. we just wanted to allow her to rest as much as possible and enjoy whatever time she had. toward the end there was so much pain medication in her body she was hallucinating.

Date: 2013-01-17 11:00 am (UTC)He had to feel bad and embarrassed for interrupting filming too, even though it couldn't be helped. Strong Heart is kind of above bilasa's paygrade famewise, the two of them were sitting much more stiffly and uncomfortably than they do somewhere they feel comfortable (like Immortal Song 2)
That's probably why Baro felt the need to tell a potentially uncomfortable story like that too, gotta tell something interesting.
idk u guise I just have a lot of feelings. ㅠㅠ

Date: 2013-01-17 01:10 pm (UTC)tbh I've always side-eyed the whole concept of Strong Heart....some of the stories are way too personal. What kind of world are we where people's lowest moments are considered variety show entertainment?
