Singer Yoo Yeol has revealed a will he wrote while battling pulmonary fibrosis.

On the 9th, the producers of tvN's "You Quiz on the Block" (hereinafter "You Quiz") disclosed the contents of the will Yoo Yeol wrote in the early hours of August 1, 2024.

Yoo Yeol wrote, "4:30. My throat hurts, so my ears hurt too. Please inform my attending physician." He then left a message for his wife first: "I hope this never happens, but if I do end up in heaven, please tell everyone that everything was 'grateful.' I am sorry for not being able to return the love I was given."

To his son, Yoo Yeol wrote, "My beloved son. I am so heartbroken that I couldn't keep many of the promises I made with you." He added, "Cry your heart out, and I hope you live a life of sharing always!"

He also addressed his acquaintances: "All the daily events we were given were truly moving. Let's meet again happily in the future. Then, goodbye."

Previously, Yoo Yeol suffered from pulmonary fibrosis for 10 years, losing weight down to 40kg, and endured a difficult battle with the illness so severe that false death rumors even circulated. Fortunately, he was able to recover his health after undergoing a lung transplant surgery.

Earlier, Yoo Yeol appeared in a preview video for the "You Quiz" broadcast on the 13th, sharing his own battle with illness. He said, "The first transplant was canceled because the donor lung's health condition was poor. The second transplant was canceled because the donor's autopsy was decided," and added, "The doctor said, 'It seems we need to prepare for something.'" He conveyed the desperate situation of that time.

Recalling the moment he finally underwent lung transplant surgery, he said, "On the day I was discharged, I looked out the window. Many people were leaving with different expressions, but the simple daily lives shone so brightly."

Yoo Yeol appeared on a special episode of KBS's "Documentary 3 Days" as his first broadcast after recovery. He said, "After it ended, I cried my eyes out in the studio. Singing again is so moving," showing a tearful moment.
