WATCH: 13-Year-Old Hana Hwang Reveal Special Bond with Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez and Hana Hwang have
shared a special bond since Ryan Seacrest made the introduction last December.
Selena Gomez revealed to fans and news the special bond she has with Hana Hwang
started with Who Says. Hana, a 13-year-old progeria patient, was introduced to
Gomez on the suggestion of her tutor Sara Kim. Moments ago, Selena detailed the
impact that introduction has had on her own life.
That same
commitment was detailed extensively by Seacrest in December. “I want to tell
you something this is incredible … that has to do with Selena Gomez.” Ryan
added “… for KISSMAS Giving, we had Sara nominate someone she knows. She
nominated … Hana for KISSMAS Giving.” The Sara that Ryan is referring to is
Hana’s tutor, Sara Kim.
Ryan Seacrest told news what Sara detailed to him. “We learned
that Hana has a very rare aging disorder. Hana is one of only ten children in
the U.S. that has progeria, a fatally rare genetic disease that dramatically
speeds up aging in children.” Ryan added to news “children with progeria age
eight to ten times faster than normal children. Their average life expectancy
is thirteen years old. And the absolute worse part of the disease is that there
is no cure.”
Then Ryan told listeners and news “Hana just turned thirteen years
old this September 8, and every day has been a race against time.”
Ryan told listeners that the radio station has helped out Hana.
But as the station and Hana’s family began talking, “we learned that Hana is a
huge Selena Gomez fan.”
Sara told Seacrest listeners that Selena Gomez’s song “Who Says”
is the only song she listens to during difficult times, including treatment.
Hana finds inspiration in the lyrics, Sara said, singing that song to herself
all the time. “It motivates her and to hang in there”.
Then Ryan Seacrest told listeners that Selena Gomez is unlike any
celebrity out there today. “Selena is one of the most generous people I have
met in my life. She was recording her album here in town.” Selena was recording
here in Los Angeles when Ryan reached on the phone. Selena was suppose to
finish her recording session and fly out of Los Angeles for a concert.
Seacrest continued, “I told Selena this story. She stopped
recording her song in the studio. She stopped to visit Hana in the hospital.”
From there, the bond was created. Below is a video from Hana retweeted by
her hospital again today. The YouTube shows Hana holding the bracelet depicted
above.
