'Knowing Bros' veteran Ko Myung-hwan shared the life truths he realized at the brink of death.

On the 12th, on JTBC's 'Knowing Bros', appearing as a writer, Ko Myung-hwan recalled his worst traffic accident in 2005: "It was during the filming of the drama 'Hae Shin'. I drove at 190 km/h to attend all my schedules. Then I got into a major traffic accident with a large truck. I fainted while sleeping."

He continued, "The doctor said I would die in one second and urged me to say my last words quickly. I had the feeling of dying. There was a brain hemorrhage, and there was a blood clot in my heart. The doctor said it was the largest blood clot he had ever seen since opening his clinic. He also said consciousness disappears within 0.1 seconds."

Ko Myung-hwan recalled, "The doctor told me to say my last words, but I asked him to save me a little longer. I thought, 'I wasn't born as a comedian, so why did I gain popularity? It was painful that I would die without revealing what's inside me. I wanted to find what's within me.' I asked them to let me live so I could truly live as Ko Myung-hwan."

He added, "Miraculously, I was moved to a general ward. I thought I had to figure out what was inside me. There was nothing else I could turn to but books. I asked the people visiting me in the hospital to buy books for me. While reading them, I found myself as writer Ko Myung-hwan. Originally, I didn't even want to write a diary. Everyone receives similar education and grows up, but I felt there must be something bigger inside me."

After gaining great insights following the accident, Ko Myung-hwan became a bestseller author. He boasted, "In the year Han River won the Nobel Prize in Literature, I received the Kyobo Book Center's Author of the Year Award together with Han River. The book I wrote, 'When Classics Answer: How to Live Meaningfully,' generated sales equivalent to 1 billion won in annual revenue from buckwheat noodles."

Ko Myung-hwan emphasized, "The traffic accident was the greatest misfortune for me and my family. But without it, I wouldn't have become writer Ko Myung-hwan. Pain, trials, adversity, and failure may take the form of opportunity. If you think of them as opportunities, they truly become opportunities," leaving a deep impression on the audience.
