Baekho’s Father is Diagnosed with Leukemia, Needs Blood Donations Now
“Baekho’s dad calls him ‘Baekho’, not Dongho. It’s kinda weird!”
- Aron
“My dad listens to Music Access [Aron’s radio show]… He gave me money for Children’s Day. I want to buy him a gift too!”
- Baekho
“I want to represent office workers like dad [through song]. I can’t imagine how hard they work carrying heavy burdens on their shoulders, repeating it everyday… I’ll eventually turn 20 and 30, so I want to help the world become a happier place by singing.”
- Baekho
(Caption to the photo): “[This is] an unglamorous photo? ㅋㅋㅋ I’m wearing my dad’s clothes for work and helping him with work ㅋㅋ It shows that I’m a filial son!”
- Baekho
“Dongho, you’re going through so many hardships. You worked hard to get where you are, so do your best. I love you son, fighting! See you during the holidays!”
- Baekho’s Dad
Hello it’s Baekho. I’m sorry that I’m posting a bad news. Today, in the morning my father had a nosebleed, and it won’t stop so he went to the hospital. It was confirmed that he has 'acute myelocytic leukemia.’ So, we’re in need of blood donors. I feel sorry that I had to ask like this, but for those who have blood donor card (regardless of your blood type) please send it to:
Seoul, Gangnam-gu Samseong-dong No. 44-20 (Baekho Blood Donor Card).
I’m sorry to inform you such a bad news.
(Translation cr: @thenuest)
As you can see, Baekho is clearly very close to his dad, and so this sudden diagnosis is probably be extremely painful for him right now. The fact that he resorted to posting online and asking fans to donate blood shows that the situation is critical and serious.
I know how it feels to lose someone you love because of a sudden illness, and I really don’t want Baekho to go through that. If there are people out there who can donate, please consider doing so and sending it on the quickest way over to the address that Baekho provided.
If you can’t donate, please at least spread the word by reblogging this post or by retweeting this tweet. Please pray that he recovers quickly as well.
