On 'Day & Night,' singer Pyeon Seung-yeop revealed his battle with renal pelvis cancer.

In the 25th episode of MBN's talk show 'Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night,' broadcast on the 16th, trot singer Pyeon Seung-yeop appeared.

That day, Pyeon Seung-yeop shared his story of suffering from social anxiety and stage fright after his divorce. Pyeon Seung-yeop recalled, "Even when events came my way, I didn't do them. I just stayed home. Singing didn't feel fun anymore. You should do it because you love it, not just to survive. The emotion should be conveyed fully to the listeners. But after what happened, people's gazes were no longer ordinary. Some people would glare at me while I was singing. As a result, I couldn't sing properly."

Along with that, Pyeon Seung-yeop revealed his battle with renal pelvis cancer. He explained, "It's a rare cancer. It seemed there was no way to treat it. Fortunately, it hadn't spread, so they only removed the surrounding organs, and I didn't even undergo chemotherapy."

Kim Ju-ha asked, "How did you find out about your renal pelvis cancer?" Pyeon Seung-yeop replied, "When I urinated, blood was mixed in. At first, a test showed it was a kidney stone. I was scared. But later, when I saw dark, dead-looking blood in my urine instead of bright red blood, I felt something was wrong and went to the hospital."

He continued, "I heard the word 'cancer' several times, but strangely, I didn't go to the hospital often. My thyroid function is completely gone, so I have to take medicine for the rest of my life. Because I missed the chance to get treatment while taking medicine, my thyroid function is now completely gone."

Regarding why he didn't go to the hospital, Pyeon Seung-yeop confessed, "I was someone who couldn't afford to be sick. My parents are still alive, and I have many children. I was at the center of it all. I think I just let it pass without knowing, and that was my mindset. I couldn't even take care of my own body." This left viewers feeling sorry for him.

On the renal pelvis cancer surgery, Pyeon Seung-yeop said, "It looked serious, so I went to the hospital, but at first, the hospital didn't know. But recently, I appeared on many health programs, and they pointed out that I might have a problem with my kidneys because of my wind and moon (metaphor for health issues). They told me to come back in about three months for another checkup. After a detailed examination, I found out it was cancer, and I had to have surgery urgently."

Pyeon Seung-yeop noted that fortunately, his condition has improved, stating, "I'm okay now. I keep getting checked. I haven't been declared fully cured."
