The whole family went through a difficult time. Fortunately, Song Yi's condition finally improved and he was discharged from the hospital.
Sharing about the big incident in the family, Haha emotionally said, "I am an artist who makes people feel happy. While unhappy things are happening at home, I still have to laugh when appearing on shows, have to make tricks and do silly things to make people laugh."
The actor and TV star admitted: "Every day is like hell to me. I cried every day. At times, my heart beat beat beat, not so well that I could not even stand up straight".
Haha's professional working attitude during the crisis made many people admire him.
