Actor Kim Seung-soo recalled his experience with shingles.

In an episode of SBS's variety program 'Misun Uri Saekki' aired on the 16th, the story of Kim Hyung-mook and Kim Seung-soo, who have maintained a close friendship, was featured.

On this day, Kim Seung-soo said about his time suffering from shingles, "I really thought I was going to die."

Kim Seung-soo added, "Blisters covered my entire face. The pain felt like someone had stuck a fork into my face and scratched it. No matter how many painkillers I took, I couldn't sleep."

He continued, "Depending on where this virus invades, that part of the body becomes paralyzed. If it invades the right side of the brain, the left side of the body becomes half-paralyzed. When I went to an ophthalmologist, they said the virus seemed to have invaded the conjunctiva area. If it reaches the optic nerve, it leads to loss of vision. I started thinking about how I could live if one eye went blind."

Shin Dong-yup also recalled, "At Jun-ho's wedding, I sat at the same table and used thick makeup to cover it somewhat. When they showed me photos during the worst phase, it was the most severe case of shingles I've ever seen. I almost died."

Kim Hyung-mook said, "Looking at it now, he healed perfectly without any scars," and Kim Seung-soo replied, "It's a huge relief. Even the doctor thought serious aftereffects would remain, but fortunately, it seems like I was given another chance."
