Singer Yoo Yeol recalled the moment he stood on the brink of life and death during his battle with pulmonary fibrosis.

tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' aired a segment featuring Yoo Yeol on the 6th, during which he shared his recent updates firsthand.

On the broadcast, Yoo Yeol said he remembered his time battling pulmonary fibrosis after hearing the remark, "You were hard to see on broadcasts for a while." Yoo Yeol had lost weight down to 40 kilograms and appeared emaciated during his 10-year battle with pulmonary fibrosis, and even false reports of his death circulated, but he recovered through a lung transplant surgery.

Yoo Yeol recalled, "The first transplant was canceled because the donated lung was in poor health. The second transplant was canceled when a donor was found, but the donor's autopsy was decided upon." He added, "The doctor said, 'I think you need to prepare.'"

After finally undergoing lung transplant surgery, Yoo Yeol said, "On the day I was discharged, I looked out the window. Many people were walking by with various expressions, and their simple daily lives shone so brightly."

Yoo Yeol continued, speaking about his appearance on the KBS 'Docu 3 Days' special episode, his first broadcast after recovery: "I cried my eyes out in the studio after it ended." He added, "Singing again is so moving."
