'Singer Yoo Yeol shared the critical moment when he nearly died due to pulmonary fibrosis.

'On the 13th, Yoo Yeol, a ballad singer celebrating his 40th anniversary since debut, appeared on tvN's variety program 'You Quiz on the Block' and recounted his seven-year battle with illness.

'That day, Yoo Yeol calmly stated, "It is a rare disease accounting for only 1% of pulmonary fibrosis cases. Inflammation repeatedly occurs in the lungs, causing them to harden. Some experts estimated a survival period of four to seven years."

'He confessed, "I received a suspected diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis during a health checkup in 2017 and initially did not take it seriously. In 2019, I contracted acute pneumonia, and my fever soared above 40 degrees and would not subside. The hospital suspected lung cancer, but after a biopsy, I was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis."

'He continued, "After seeing my weight loss on YouTube, acquaintances and strangers alike told me it was beneficial for my health, so I traveled nationwide. I went to Busan to receive injections, to Yeongwol to receive 200 acupuncture sessions, and to Gangneung for spinal injections. Food was also important, so my wife took meticulous care of my diet. My wife suffered greatly."

'However, despite these efforts, Yoo Yeol's condition continued to deteriorate. After being hospitalized for six months due to high fever in 2024, his weight dropped to 41kg.

'He said, "It became difficult to speak, so we communicated by writing. I experienced cardiac arrest twice in the early morning. It was a critical situation. Although I had many conversations with my wife, I feel I could not say anything to my 12-year-old son. I wrote the will by myself," swallowing his tears.

'The following video revealed Yoo Yeol's will, written on the brink of death, evoking deep sorrow.
