"I'm not going to give up" - Kyedae tries to remain positive after cancer diagnosis
Kyedae addressed her viewers during the initial moments of her broadcast. At the nine-minute mark, she said depression was a silent killer and elaborated, saying:
"I've had people reach out to me, saying that their siblings used to watch me. Where like, they passed away. It just broke my heart! I know that there's not a lot that I can do through a screen. But, if I can talk about it, and just... have you guys know that it's very normal to feel sad. It's why it's called, 'Depression is a silent killer,' because... it makes you feel like you are all alone."
The 21-year-old added that she was feeling depressed about her cancer:
"I think, today is like, the first day that I am actually feeling really depressed and sad. Just about... my cancer."

Like, I'm just not having a great day today. So I decided to play Valorant. I just want you all to know that... everyone goes through things. Okay?"
