Actor Im Hyun-sik addressed rumors about his health.

In the upcoming 40th episode of MBN's "Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night," airing on the 29th, Im Hyun-sik and Hwang Seok-jeong will appear as guests.

During a recent recording session, Im Hyun-sik appeared noticeably thin, raising concerns about his health. He revealed that around last summer, he began experiencing stomach pain and other troubling symptoms, prompting him to visit a hospital with his daughters for checkups. Im Hyun-sik described his condition as "indigestion, gallbladder issues, poor blood circulation, and various other problems," conveying the severity of his situation before undergoing stent surgery, which surprised everyone.

Im Hyun-sik said, "I underwent examinations and treatment for about six months. At that time, I lost 7 to 8 kilograms. It's an age where quick recovery is difficult." He added with a smile, "These days, I'm doing much better. My condition seems fine. I nap during the day for about 30 minutes to an hour. I sleep as much as I want."

Previously, Im Hyun-sik appeared on last year's MBN program "Altoran," where he revealed that while farming, he accidentally ingested pesticide. Some of the sprayed pesticide exposed his respiratory system directly, leading to a poisoning incident. At the time, he stated that he lost consciousness and was rushed to an emergency room for treatment, raising public concern.

On this day, Hwang Seok-jeong confessed about her difficult family history, which she had rarely discussed before. Recalling that her mother, who grew up in poverty, had to take responsibility for the family's livelihood, she said the mother's anger was often directed at the family. Hwang Seok-jeong shared her pain: "From the age of three, I would have seizures whenever I saw my mother. I had a strong desire to be loved, but it went unfulfilled. Until my early 40s, I never spoke a single word to my mother."

However, Hwang Seok-jeong revealed that she now lives with her mother. She said, "When my mother, who underwent back surgery, mentioned needing hospital expenses, I rushed to bring her home. To release the emotions that had built up over the years, we have been constantly talking."

Meanwhile, MBN's issue-maker talk show "Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night" airs every Saturday night at 9:40 p.m.
