Tae Jin-ah appeared on MBN 'Check Time' which aired on the 5th.
On this day, Tae Jin-ah "My wife was diagnosed with dementia five years ago. I've been taking care of it 24 hours a day for five years. Five years feels like 50 years to me."
As for how he found out that his wife had dementia, Tae Jin-ah "One day, his wife kept asking the same question every minute. He kept asking me, "Did you eat?" This happened repeatedly that day, so I went to the hospital. According to the test, they said it was early in dementia. I didn't want to do anything and couldn't think of anything for a week after my dementia diagnosis. I felt so sorry for my wife that I just held her wrist and cried. Then 'I'm going to get my act together, too. I've got work to do as well, and I've come to accept it."
Then "I was the only one who visited until three years after dementia came. He carries a specially custom-made wheelchair that fits his wife's body and goes to local performances together," he said.
As for the reason why his wife is in a wheelchair, Tae Jin-ah said that the respiratory disease, which was originally bad, worsened after the diagnosis of dementia. Dementia has caused lung conditions to deteriorate due to a sharp decrease in exercise. "I've been riding a wheelchair for about a year and a half. Cars always have portable oxygen tanks. When you can't breathe, use an oxygen tank."
On the way to the hospital, his wife relied on him, calling Tae Jin-ah "Mom," and Tae Jin-ah also took care of his wife, "Daddy will do it for you."
Tae Jin-ah said to his wife, "Where are you, Tae Jin?Let's ask her "I don't think she saw Tae Jin-ah..."
In the studio, Tae Jin-ah "I'm still and suddenly tears come out of my eyes. I feel so sorry for my wife. He was really nice and nice to me, but I feel so sorry for him. Isn't there a conviction that other diseases can be cured. Dementia is frustrated because the medicine hasn't come out yet, so I cry a lot."
Taejin takes care of his wife with utmost care. He said "This is the man who chose me when I was the hardest and had no money. He protected me for 42 years and built our home. This is the person who has the right to receive everything from me. And I'm obliged to give this person everything, anything. Don't you say you will marry this person even if you wake up after dying 100 times. He's a very grateful person."
