[TALK OF THE TOWN]Fighting cancer, model/actress Jang Jin-yeung finds path back to fame

Model actress Jang Jin-yeung

Many a heart was troubled when news spread last September of a young actress’ struggle with stomach cancer.

But fortunately, model-turned-actress Jang Jin-yeung, 37, seems to be slowly regaining her health - her features were televised on MBC TV’s “After News” last Saturday. The program also aired a phone interview with the actress, which was her first public exposure since her diagnosis.

Jang said she is undergoing medical treatment - both Western and traditional herbal methods. She also said that her health has improved rapidly over the past months now that she’s been mountain climbing, watching films and shopping.
