Korean Twitch streamer HAchubby has revealed she has been diagnosed with cancer. She shared the news with viewers during her stream on November 4, 2026, telling chat, “They said that I have cancer,” and followed up in a post on X the next day. She is travelling to Korea for treatment and has cancelled her TwitchCon plans.
HAchubby told viewers that doctors do not yet know what stage the cancer is. “They still don’t know what stage it is,” she said. Her Korean translator explained on stream that doctors had found “some aggressive things,” and in her X post she said the cancer “may be close to spreading.”
She said she feels pain only in one specific area. She has not shared what type of cancer it is, and we will not speculate.
In Korea. HAchubby said she plans to travel there right away and has found a good doctor. Her hospital in the US is transferring her medical records so her new doctors can take over her care.
Yes. HAchubby said she will continue to stream from Korea while she is treated, though she has cancelled her appearance at TwitchCon. Viewers can follow her updates on her Twitch channel.
We wish HAchubby a full recovery and will update this story if she shares more.
