Just my opinion, but I think it's a cultural thing. Some cultures believe in karma from previous lives, which then people would state she got cancer due to bad karma for previously being a "criminal". It's not quite a justification. Just wanted to share

Yea I figured, it’s very fucked up
I'm from Jeolla and old people there, as in born and raised, clings to superstition so much. I was a sickly child, and my grandparents thought that my given name brought me bad luck, so they changed my name from 화영 to 하늘. Honestly, nothing changed.
Who the hell tells a cancer patient they’re suffering is due to a sin in a past life wtf just evil
