STATEMENT ON TONG MING YAN (@squishy_blob)
Dear Uaenas,
We come to you with unfortunate news regarding our co-founder, Tong Ming Yan (@squishy_blob) with her family's consent. As many of you may know, she is also one of the founding members of lUteamstarcandy and has made immeasurable contributions over the years through various translation projects and fan support projects.
Earlier this year in April, Ming Yan suffered a cardiac arrest during a health screening procedure, resulting in irreversible brain damage and has been in vegetative state since then. She's currently transferred to a nursing hospital in South Korea while waiting for a medical assessment required for medical lawsuits as her husband seeks to sue the hospital for medical negligence. While her family desperately hopes to reunite with her in Singapore, the medical crisis in Korea has hampered the progress, and her husband has to cover immense monthly medical costs as they wait for the court proceedings.
We ask that all of you keep Ming Yan and her family in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate through this difficult time.
THE REQUESTS OF MING YAN'S FAMILY
1. LET HER STORY BE KNOWN - Share this post or the news article (https://t.co/xACPEhpQBi) as much as possible, especially to the Korean community, so that her family's plea can be heard.
2. If you are able to, please consider sharing or donating to this fundraiser to help the family cover Ming Yan's monthly medical expenses: https://t.co/nfGRsqncWb
3. If you wish to provide assistance in other ways (i.e., speed up the medical assessment or court case in South Korea), kindly reach out to [email protected]
Thank you.
Love, SGHIU

@ConnorChoi Thank you! And I think it has to do with how Squishy was that there's usually warmth, peace and harmony. Just like how IU wants Uaenas to be.
Knowing how low-key and private she is, but having this unfold publicly that my friends asked me about it, it's painful. Was looking forward to meeting you again in Apr and having you back in SG. Meeting you in Sep was π and to see how much has changed since Dec when we met.
There were too many memorable episodes in the 2 days of concerts. I'm so glad majority were included in iutv. PCD kicking in π€§ but I'm sad that the fansupport gifts are still mia. Where did you go?
Happiest 32nd birthday to Singaena's biggest fan & eternal rival, IU! π₯³ Head on down to Cafe Lilac from 16-22 May and celebrate this joyous occasion with fellow Singaenas π
this is the interpreter that jakaenas deserve! an interpreter who loves their job, an interpreter who never gonna let the fans miss a single thing iu said, and can give iu the amazing response she deserves.. and of course (at least) lowkey a fan of the artist.. manifesting..
