Min Ji-young reveals new cancer cells found in thyroid

Actress Min Ji-young said cancer cells were found in her left thyroid, preventing her from receiving a full recovery. In a video on her YouTube channel 'Min Ji-young TV', she explained that five years after undergoing surgery to remove the right side of her thyroid, the disease has now affected the left side. Despite this, the family continues their camper van world tour, having returned to Madrid. However, the trip has faced setbacks: a toe injury confined Min to the camper for three months, and a leak in the diesel heater's antifreeze led to damage to the heater unit itself.

The first phase is tendered at €48,291.77 including VAT, with a 30-day execution period. In April 2025, 60 motorhomes were counted on the site, the largest concentration in Palma.
