Comedian Lee Kyung-gyu addressed rumors about his health.

On the 23rd, a video titled "Brain Stroke Prevention Methods for Middle-Aged and Older Adults That Everyone Must Check: Lee Kyung-gyu's Tips" was released on the YouTube channel 'God-Kyunggyu'.

That day, Lee said, "As I get older, there are things that worry me. Some people even raise health concerns, saying my speech is very unclear."

He then added, "After broadcasting for a long time, I sometimes speak carelessly," which drew laughter.

He further noted, "I once had heart issues. My coronary arteries were blocked, leading to angina. I had one stent implanted. It seems the brain is not entirely safe either."

Previously, in May, rumors about Lee's health surfaced. At that time, he released a video on his YouTube channel, sparking widespread concern over changes in his speech and facial expressions.

Regarding this, his agency stated, "He was not feeling well during filming, but there are no major health issues. His current condition is fine."

Meanwhile, last June, Lee became embroiled in controversy for driving a vehicle while taking medication in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. He mistakenly drove another person's car from a hospital parking lot as his own and was reported for theft. A preliminary drug test conducted by police at the scene yielded a positive result.

The agency explained, "This incident occurred while he was traveling to receive medical treatment after taking his usual medication for panic disorder and cold symptoms. We deeply regret this and are taking great care to ensure it does not happen again." Lee received a summary order imposing a fine for the incident.
