Comedian Heo An-na has 75% of her thyroid removed after discovering large lump on her neck

Comedian Heo An-na (41) reported a sharp decline in physical stamina following thyroid resection surgery.

In a video posted on social media on the 14th, Heo stated, "A lump was discovered in my neck early last year. The hospital examination indicated it could progress to thyroid cancer, so I was hospitalized and underwent surgery."

The video showed Heo lying in a hospital room wearing patient scrubs, applying a heat pack to her neck area. Her visibly exhausted expression evoked sympathy. It is known that Heo had three-quarters of her thyroid gland removed due to a borderline thyroid tumor.

She confessed, "After the surgery, my physical condition has become very weak. Even light walks, driving, eating, and even just lying down leave me tired." She added, "Because I lack the stamina for things I used to do easily, I can't even bring myself to start them, and I've gradually become more irritable and short-tempered."

Born in 1984, Heo debuted as a theater actress in 2005. She began her broadcasting career after passing the MBC 17th public recruitment for comedians in 2008, and solidified her position by transferring to KBS as a 24th public recruitment comedian the following year.

Heo married fellow comedian Oh Gyeong-ju, who is the same age as her, in 2019, becoming the 14th comedy couple. She shared her IVF (in vitro fertilization) process on social media as she sought to have a second child, receiving much support.
