[Asia Economy Reporter Kim So-young] Park Seri (44), a former golf player turned broadcaster who is currently in isolation receiving treatment after testing positive for COVID-19, expressed her determination to overcome the virus.

On the 26th, Park posted on her Instagram a photo that had previously gained attention for her "barefoot fighting spirit," saying, "As many people were surprised, I was also very shocked and upset by the sudden news."

She said, "When I faced the moment that came after testing positive for COVID-19, fear and worry came first. But after taking a day or two to think about it, I realized that there are many people who continue their daily lives in even more difficult and anxious situations during this crisis."

She continued, "I believe that my efforts to overcome and conquer this will become another source of hope for everyone," adding, "Whenever the country faces difficulties, all Korean people unite to overcome and conquer them, so I will not let my guard down and will overcome this crisis that has come to me once again."

She also urged, "Just as all Korean people have united to overcome the country's hardships, ordinary daily life will surely return," and asked, "Please stay strong with me a little longer until the time comes to enjoy the happiness of that ordinary daily life."

Finally, she added, "I would like to express my deep gratitude to the medical staff and related personnel working on the front lines due to COVID-19. I will return in good health."

Park underwent testing after receiving news that musical actor Son Junho, a guest on her Naver Now talk show program "Serizabeth," tested positive for COVID-19 on the 21st, and she was confirmed positive on the morning of the 24th.
